Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air handling equipment technology, specifically a locking module and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology

[0002] When only local temperature regulation is needed or the temperature of a small indoor space needs to be adjusted, portable air conditioners are usually used. These types of air conditioners are relatively small in size and easy to move.

[0003] In these air conditioner products, components such as heat exchangers, fans, and compressors are usually integrated into a single unit. When the air conditioner is operating, the compressor is prone to vibration, which is transmitted to the chassis or exterior components. When the vibration frequency of the compressor is close to the natural frequency of the chassis or exterior components, resonance occurs, producing abnormal noise and affecting the user experience.

[0004] In related technologies, the exterior parts and the casing are fixed by plugging and screws. When these air conditioners leave the factory, multiple screw mounting positions often need to be installed and fixed with screws one by one, which is inefficient. After leaving the factory, when it is necessary to disassemble and clean the corresponding parts, users often need to use a screwdriver to remove the screws one by one, which is extremely inconvenient. Frequent removal of screws can easily cause wear on the threads of plastic screws, making it difficult or even impossible to tighten the screws again, resulting in installation failure.

[0005] Some manufacturers assemble corresponding magnets in the outer parts and the housing respectively. The magnets often need to be interference-fitted into specific slots. When installing the magnets, auxiliary tools are needed to force the magnets into the slots, which is difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to adjust the magnetic attraction of the magnets, rubber pads are usually placed between the outer parts and the housing for cushioning, and the outer surface of the outer parts is made flat. This results in high processing costs and low production efficiency.

[0006] Some manufacturers attach the exterior parts to the casing using clips. If the clips are too tight, it makes it difficult to disassemble the exterior parts; if the clips are too loose, they cannot provide vibration damping and result in a large gap between the exterior parts and the casing, leading to an uneven surface. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a locking module, which has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, has a long service life and is not prone to failure, thus solving the technical problem of assembly failure caused by wear after repeated disassembly and assembly in the prior art, and also solving the technical problem of difficult disassembly and assembly in the prior art.

When an external force is applied to the trigger member, the trigger member continues to drive the linkage member to move towards the direction close to the opening and is lengthened, and at the same time, the elastic locking member is moved relative to the linkage member and changes position again, and under the action of the torsional difference, the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are moved along a specific track from the locking position to the initial position, and the elastic locking member in the initial position can make the linkage member be in the lengthened position, and at this time, the trigger member and the linkage member can be separated.

[0071] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, wherein the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals throughout the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0073] The locking module 1000 according to the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present specification, which has certain general performance and can be used in various occasions requiring installation of detachable parts, for example, can be used in the installation and disassembly cooperation structure of various appearance parts in the field of air conditioning treatment equipment; can also be used in daily necessities such as storage boxes, storage cabinets, etc., and can also be used in warehouse equipment, etc.; can also be used in other occasions requiring frequent installation and disassembly, which will not be described here.

[0074] According to the locking module 1000 according to the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , it comprises a mounting sleeve 100, a linkage 500, an elastic locking part 300 and a trigger part 400.

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mounting sleeve 100 is provided with an open mouth 110, which can communicate the internal space and the external space of the mounting sleeve 100.

[0076] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 9a to Figure 9e , the linkage 500 is movably connected in the mounting sleeve 100, that is, the position of the linkage 500 relative to the open mouth 110 can be adjusted, and the linkage 500 moves in the process of telescopic movement, sometimes moving away from the open mouth 110, and sometimes moving towards the open mouth 110, so that the position of the linkage 500 relative to the mounting sleeve 100 can be changed.

[0077] As shown in Figure 2 , the elastic locking part 300 is connected to the mounting sleeve 100, and as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the elastic locking part 300 comprises a first elastic arm 310 and a second elastic arm 320, and as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9a , the elastic locking part 300 has an initial position on the linkage 500, and the initial position herein includes a first initial position A1 of the first elastic arm 310 relative to the linkage 500, and also includes a second initial position A2 of the second elastic arm 320 relative to the linkage 500; as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9c , the elastic locking part 300 has a locking position on the linkage 500, and the locking position herein includes a first locking position C1 of the first elastic arm 310 relative to the linkage 500, and also includes a second locking position C2 of the second elastic arm 320 relative to the linkage 500.

[0078] It should be noted that the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 of the present application have a certain elastic restoring force and can adapt to a certain micro-deformation and restore the original position.

[0079] In combination Figure 8a to Figure 8e And Figure 9a to Figure 9e As shown, the trigger piece 400 can pass through the opening 110, that is, the trigger piece 400 can freely enter and exit the opening 110 and exert a certain force on the linkage piece 500.

[0080] Under the action of an external force, the trigger piece 400 and the linkage piece 500 can be separated or combined, and in the locked position, the trigger piece 400 and the linkage piece 500 are combined, and in the combined state, the external force applied to the trigger piece 400 can act on the linkage piece 500, prompting the linkage piece 500 to act; in the initial position, the trigger piece 400 and the linkage piece 500 are separated, and in the separated state, the external force applied to the trigger piece 400 is no longer transmitted to the linkage piece 500, so that the linkage piece 500 loses the action of the external force and restores to the original equilibrium state under the action of its own internal components.

[0081] At the same time, the trigger piece 400 combined with the linkage piece 500 drives the linkage piece 500 to move in and out, so that the first elastic arm 310 moves relative to the linkage piece 500 and the second elastic arm 320 moves relative to the linkage piece 500, and the path of the first elastic arm 310 relative to the linkage piece 500 and the path of the second elastic arm 320 relative to the linkage piece 500 are different, so that the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 form a torsional difference in the moving process, and under the drive of the torsional difference, the first elastic arm 310 travels along a specific path and switches between the first initial position A1 and the first locked position C1, and the second elastic arm 320 also travels along a specific path and switches between the second initial position A2 and the second locked position C2.

[0082] From the above structure, it can be seen that when the trigger piece 400 and the linkage piece 500 are in a separated state, the linkage piece 500, the mounting sleeve 100 and the elastic locking piece 300 are all in the original state, and at this time the linkage piece 500 extends outward relative to the mounting sleeve 100 for a long distance, for example, in a specific example, the end of the linkage piece 500 can extend out of the mounting sleeve 100 from the opening 110, the first elastic arm 310 of the elastic locking piece 300 is located at the first initial position A1 of the linkage piece 500, and the second elastic arm 320 is located at the second initial position A2 of the linkage piece 500, and at this time the trigger piece 400 is detached from the linkage piece 500.

[0083] When the trigger 400 and the linkage 500 are in the combined state, the force applied to the trigger 400 is further transmitted to the linkage 500, so that the linkage 500 moves relative to the mounting sleeve 100 and the elastic locking piece 300.

[0084] For example, as shown in Figure 8a 、 Figure 8c 、 Figure 9a and Figure 9c , the trigger 400 can generate a pushing force on the linkage 500, so that the linkage 500 moves towards the direction away from the opening 110 and shortens, and at the same time, the elastic locking piece 300 moves relative to the linkage 500 and changes position, and under the action of the torsion difference, the first elastic arm 310 moves along a specific trajectory from the first initial position A1 to the first locking position C1, and the second elastic arm 320 moves along a specific trajectory from the second initial position A2 to the second locking position C2.

[0085] In the locking position, the linkage 500 is shortened relative to the mounting sleeve 100, and the elastic locking piece 300 locks the linkage 500, so that the mounting sleeve 100, the elastic locking piece 300, the linkage 500 and the trigger 400 remain unchanged in relative position without external force, so that the trigger 400 and the linkage 500 remain combined.

[0086] When an external force acts on the trigger 400, as shown in Figure 8e and Figure 9e , the trigger 400 continues to drive the linkage 500 to move towards the direction close to the opening 110 and to elongate, and at the same time, the elastic locking piece 300 moves relative to the linkage 500 and changes position again, and under the action of the torsion difference, the first elastic arm 310 moves along a specific trajectory from the first locking position C1 to the first initial position A1, and the second elastic arm 320 moves along a specific trajectory from the second locking position C2 to the second initial position A2, and the elastic locking piece 300 in the initial position can make the linkage 500 be in the elongated position, and at this time the trigger 400 and the linkage 500 can be separated.

[0087] Therefore, in the process of interaction between the trigger 400 and the linkage 500, the elastic locking piece 300 locks the linkage 500 in the initial position or the locking position, respectively, the linkage 500 is elongated in the initial position relative to the mounting sleeve 100, and the linkage 500 is elongated in the locking position relative to the mounting sleeve 100, so that the position of the linkage 500 combined with the trigger 400 is reasonable, which is not only convenient to combine, but also convenient to separate subsequently, and can be repeatedly disassembled for many times, and has strong durability.

[0088] The locking module 1000 of the present application is made into a module for convenient installation in the required scene, and has simple and compact overall structure and strong universality.

[0089] It can be understood that, compared with the existing technology, the assembled part and the mounting surface are formed by screws, and the disassembly and assembly need to use auxiliary tools such as screwdrivers. The locking module 1000 of the present application is extremely convenient to separate and combine, and is convenient to disassemble and assemble without the need for auxiliary tools. Workers or users can conveniently perform disassembly and assembly operations.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the magnetic attraction part is forcibly inserted into the slot, and the locking module 1000 of the present application is convenient to arrange and install, and the assembly position is controllable after use. After assembly is completed, the appearance surface is stable, and the gap is controllable.

[0091] Compared with the prior art, the buckle is tightly matched, which is not easy to control, resulting in over-tight or over-loose assembly. The locking module 1000 of the present application can make the mounting surface and the assembled part tightly matched, and the matching degree is appropriate, and the appearance surface is flat.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The linkage 500 is provided with a first sliding groove 521 and a second sliding groove 522 which are different in structure. As shown in Figure 10a to Figure 10e the first elastic arm 310 is in sliding cooperation with the first sliding groove 521, and as shown in Figure 11a to Figure 11e the second elastic arm 320 is in sliding cooperation with the second sliding groove 522.

[0093] In these examples, the two sliding grooves which are different in structure can make the path of the first elastic arm 310 running on the first sliding groove 521 different from the path of the second elastic arm 320 running on the second sliding groove 522. Finally, a torsional difference can be formed in the running process, so that the first elastic arm 310 is more easily to run along the first sliding groove 521 and change the clamping position it is in, and the second elastic arm 320 is also more easily to run along the second sliding groove 522 and change the clamping position it is in. Thus, the linkage 500 can be stable at multiple positions relative to the mounting sleeve 100, and the linkage 500 and the trigger 400 can be easily separated and combined, and the position of the combined trigger 400 and linkage 500 relative to the mounting sleeve 100 is appropriate, which is convenient to keep within the required distance, and the separation operation between the trigger 400 and the linkage 500 is facilitated next time.

[0094] In the description of the present application, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, which are used to distinguish the described features and have no order or importance.

[0095] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are respectively located on two sides of the linkage 500, for example, left and right sides of the linkage 500, or upper and lower sides of the linkage 500, so as to facilitate arrangement of two different slide grooves on the linkage 500.

[0096] During the sliding of the first elastic arm 310 relative to the first slide groove 521, the second elastic arm 320 also slides relative to the second slide groove 522. Then, when the first elastic arm 310 forms a sliding track on the first slide groove 521, the second elastic arm 320 also forms a sliding track on the second slide groove 522, and the two sliding tracks are substantially the same relative to the inner and outer directions of the mounting sleeve 100. Then, during the travel, the sliding track formed by the first elastic arm 310 and the sliding track formed by the second elastic arm 320 are located on two different planes, and some track points of the two sliding tracks can be flush in the height direction, and some track points can also have a certain height difference. In the initial position, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are oppositely arranged, the height of the first elastic arm 310 on the first slide groove 521 is the same as the height of the second elastic arm 320 on the second slide groove 522, and the torsional force difference of the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 is zero, that is, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are not affected by the torsional force at the height in the initial position, and the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are coplanar and located on the same horizontal plane.

[0097] In a specific example, the first slide groove 521 and the second slide groove 522 are located on two parallel planes of the linkage 500, and the extension directions of the first slide groove 521 and the second slide groove 522 are similar, and the line connecting at least some points of the first slide groove 521 and the second slide groove 522 away from each other is obliquely arranged relative to the central axis plane of the linkage 500. Then, the first slide groove 521 and the second slide groove 522 have a height difference between these points, so that the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 generate a torsional force difference when moving to the corresponding track points due to different amplitudes of deviation from the balance position.

[0098] Optionally, as Figure 10c and Figure 11cAs shown, when in the locking position, the line connecting the end of the first elastic arm 310 and the end of the second elastic arm 320 is perpendicular to the central axis surface of the linkage 500, then in these examples, the height at which the first elastic arm 310 is located and the height at which the second elastic arm 320 is located are the same, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 can simultaneously deviate by approximately the same amplitude relative to the balance position, or the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 can both be located at the balance position without deviation, thereby stably limiting the first elastic arm 310 of the present application at the first locking position C1, and stably limiting the second elastic arm 320 at the second locking position C2, ensuring that the position of the elastic locking piece 300 relative to the linkage 500 is stable, not prone to translocation, and not prone to shaking.

[0099] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first sliding groove 521 and the second sliding groove 522 each include a plurality of segments arranged correspondingly, at least one corresponding segment of the first sliding groove 521 and the second sliding groove 522 is a flat inclined surface, and the slopes of the two inclined surfaces are different, that is, the speeds at which the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 move on the corresponding inclined surfaces are different, the heights at which the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are located are different, and the deviation amplitudes from the balance position can also be different, thereby generating a torsional force difference between the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320, and enabling the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 to only move along the designed inner wall surface of the first sliding groove 521 and the second sliding groove 522, and not to directly jump to other positions across the intermediate path, which will enable the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 of the present application to always remain stable during movement relative to the linkage 500, and not to be stuck or jump.

[0100] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , at least one corresponding segment of the first sliding groove 521 and the second sliding groove 522 is a smooth arc surface, the slope change rates of the two arc surfaces are different, that is, the steepnesses of the two arc surfaces are different, which also enables the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 to generate different deviation amplitudes from the balance position when moving on the respective arc surfaces, thereby generating a torsional force difference.

[0101] Advantageously, the first sliding groove 521 and the second sliding groove 522 of the present application can be one-side-opened grooves etched on the linkage 500, or can be formed by a plurality of ribs or a plurality of cooperating blocks cooperating with each other, which is not specifically limited here.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , the linkage 500 includes an elastic piece 510, a combination part 530, and a connecting frame 520.

[0103] Wherein, as shown in Figure 2 The elastic member 510 is arranged in the mounting sleeve 100 away from the opening 110, indicating that the elastic member 510 is always in the mounting sleeve 100.

[0104] In combination Figure 6 , Figure 9a , Figure 10a And Figure 11a , one end of the connecting frame 520 is provided with a combination part 530, and the other end of the connecting frame 520 is provided with an elastic member 510 between the mounting sleeve 100. The elastic member 510 here can increase the resistance when the connecting frame 520 moves towards the inside of the mounting sleeve 100, so that the connecting frame 520 will not move too tightly inward, preventing the elastic locking member 300 from being damaged by excessive extrusion; the arrangement of the elastic member 510 can also effectively improve the hand feeling during operation; the elastic member 510 can also form a certain elastic recovery force, which can make the connecting frame 520 and the combination part 530 further move towards the opening 110 when the recovery force is released, thereby facilitating the elastic locking member 300 to further adjust the position relative to the linkage 500, and switch to the initial position or the locking position, so that the combination part 530 on the connecting frame 520 can be conveniently connected or separated from the trigger 400.

[0105] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 The side of the connecting frame 520 towards the elastic member 510 is provided with a sleeve rod 524, and the elastic member 510 is sleeved outside the sleeve rod 524, thereby preventing the elastic member 510 from moving relative to the connecting frame 520, allowing the elastic member 510 to better stretch and contract, and preventing the elastic member 510 from irreversible deformation.

[0106] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The mounting sleeve 100 forms a containing cavity 160, one side of the containing cavity 160 is communicated with the opening 110, and the linkage 500 and the elastic locking member 300 are arranged in the containing cavity 160, so that the linkage 500 and the elastic locking member 300 are arranged in the mounting sleeve 100 to form an installation module, which is convenient to arrange on the surface to be installed.

[0107] Optionally, in combination Figure 2 And Figure 9a to Figure 9e , the mounting sleeve 100 is provided with a limiting groove 140 away from the opening 110, and one end of the elastic member 510 is limited in the limiting groove 140, so that when the elastic member 510 stretches and contracts, the elastic member 510 will not move in the circumferential direction and will not be separated from the limiting groove 140, allowing the elastic member 510 to be stably compressed by the connecting frame 520.

[0108] Advantageously, the sleeve rod 524 can extend into the limiting groove 140, so that the limiting groove 140 provides a guide for the movement of the sleeve rod 524, and also provides a certain layout space for the sleeve rod 524, which is beneficial to the stable expansion and contraction of the linkage 500 in the inner and outer directions relative to the mounting sleeve 100.

[0109] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 , the end of the mounting sleeve 100 is also provided with a connecting groove 120, and the elastic locking member 300 is mounted into the mounting sleeve 100 from the connecting groove 120, and one end of the elastic locking member 300 is fixed, so as to prevent the elastic locking member 300 from being pulled out of the mounting sleeve 100.

[0110] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 , the mounting sleeve 100 is provided with a guide groove 130, and the extension direction of the guide groove 130 is consistent with the expansion and contraction direction of the linkage 500; the linkage 500 is provided with a guide block 523, and the guide block 523 is slidingly fitted in the guide groove 130. Therefore, during the movement of the linkage 500 relative to the mounting sleeve 100, whether from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside, the linkage 500 can have a stable trajectory, so that the linkage 500 moves stably; and the guide groove 130 can further limit the shortest distance of the retraction of the linkage 500 relative to the mounting sleeve 100, and limit the maximum distance of the extension of the linkage 500 relative to the mounting sleeve 100.

[0111] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , one end of the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 is connected and forms a common end 330, and the common end 330, the initial position and the locking position are arranged in a straight line, that is, the common end 330 is flush with the initial position, and the common end 330 is flush with the locking position, so that when the first elastic arm 310 or the second elastic arm 320 is at the initial position or the locking position, it can be at the original balance position, that is, the free end of the first elastic arm 310 is flush with the common end 330, and the free end of the second elastic arm 320 is flush with the common end 330, and the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 do not have a torsional force difference to keep stable. The common end 330 can transmit the force on the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320, so that the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 can further interact after generating a torsional force difference.

[0112] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the main body part of the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 is parallel, and the common end 330 is connected perpendicularly to the main body part, and the end of the first elastic arm 310 and the end of the second elastic arm 320 are formed as free ends, which can be inclined upward or downward relative to the common end 330, so as to form a certain deflection force.

[0113] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are both folded relative to the linkage 500 to be limited in the first sliding groove 521 or the second sliding groove 522 and can slide in the first sliding groove 521 or the second sliding groove 522.

[0114] Advantageously, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 are in axial symmetry along the center point of the common end 330, so that the travel of the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 is kept synchronous, the first initial position A1 and the second initial position A2 are flush, and the first initial position A1 and the second initial position A2 are simple to set. The first initial position C1 and the second initial position C2 are flush, the first initial position C1 and the second initial position C2 are simple to set and arrange, and the difference in torsion generated by the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 is easier to control.

[0115] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 , the joint 530 is a deformable claw 531, as shown in Figure 1 , the trigger 400 includes a trigger head 410; as shown in Figure 9a and Figure 9e , when the claw 531 extends out of the opening 110, the claw 531 releases the trigger head 410. As shown in Figure 9b , Figure 9c , Figure 9d , when the claw 531 retracts into the mounting sleeve 100, the claw 531 clamps the trigger head 410. The claw 531 is subjected to the abutting force of the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 100 in the process of extending into the opening 110, which will be reduced, so that the claw 531 engages the trigger head 410, and the trigger head 410 cannot be separated from the claw 531; when the claw 531 is separated from the opening 110, the claw 531 loses the force of the mounting sleeve 100 and restores its original shape, thereby releasing the trigger head 410 and separating the linkage 500 and the trigger 400. The claw 531 is formed in a flexible structure, and after the claw 531 is combined with the trigger head 410, the claw 531 has a certain buffering performance, which can effectively solve the abnormal sound caused by resonance.

[0116] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 , the trigger 400 further includes a trigger rod 420, and the trigger rod 420 is connected to the trigger head 410, so that the trigger head 410 can extend farther into the mounting sleeve 100.

[0117] In a specific example, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the clamping jaw 531 comprises a deformable first clamping jaw 5311 and a second clamping jaw 5312, one end of each of the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 is connected to the connecting frame 520, the other end of each of the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 is formed as a free end, and the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 are opposite to each other and form a clamping space 533 therebetween. When the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 are not subjected to external force, at least part of the cross section of the clamping space 533 is smaller than the cross section of the opening 110, so that when the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 are subjected to the force of the mounting sleeve 100 and shrink when moving towards the opening 110, the clamping space 533 is thereby reduced, and the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 clamp the trigger head 410. Conversely, during the process of the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 extending from the opening 110, the clamping space 533 gradually recovers to its original size, so that the trigger head 410 can be released. Therefore, in these examples, the combination and separation with the trigger 400 can be automatically achieved by moving the clamping jaw 531 relative to the opening 110.

[0118] Advantageously, as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping jaw 531 is provided with a rubber removal groove 532 on the side close to the connecting frame 520, so that the clamping jaw 531 saves manufacturing cost and has sufficient elastic deformation performance, forming an elastic clamping jaw structure, facilitating convenient separation and combination with the trigger head 410.

[0119] Optionally, the trigger head 410 is arranged in engagement with part of the wall surface of the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312, so that when the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 shrink to clamp the trigger head 410, the first clamping jaw 5311 and the second clamping jaw 5312 are tightly matched with the trigger head 410 and do not shake back and forth.

[0120] In other examples, the combination part 530 and the trigger 400 are both magnetic attraction members, and in these examples, the combination part 530 and the trigger 400 can be combined or separated during the process of applying a suitable pushing force or pulling force to the trigger 400, so that the combination part 530 and the trigger 400 are convenient to separate and combine.

[0121] Further, the magnetic attraction member can be an electromagnet, when the trigger 400 needs to be combined with the combination part 530, the electromagnet is charged to make the two quickly combine, and the trigger 400 can further apply force to the linkage 500; when the trigger 400 needs to be separated from the combination part 530, the electromagnet is not charged to make the two quickly separate, and the trigger 400 stops applying force to the linkage 500. Due to the effect of the elastic locking member 300, the position of the trigger 400 relative to the linkage 500 is within a preset range.

[0122] Optionally, referring again to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is shown that the elastic locking member 300 also has a go-intermediate position and a return-intermediate position on the linkage 500, when the elastic member 510 is compressed to the limit, the elastic locking member 300 can switch to the go-intermediate position and the return-intermediate position, that is, the elastic member 510 can further adjust the position of the elastic locking member 300 on the linkage 500, so that the trigger 400 can have certain installation feedback, and it is easier to judge whether the trigger 400 and the linkage 500 are installed in place.

[0123] The elastic locking member 300 forms a closed loop through the initial position, the go-intermediate position, the locking position and the return-intermediate position, that is, the trajectory of the elastic locking member 300 is a closed loop, and the elastic locking member 300 can move multiple times in a closed loop during multiple stretching and contracting of the linkage 500.

[0124] For example, in the go travel path from the initial position to the locking position, the trigger 400 is stressed, and the elastic member 510 is compressed to the limit, so that the elastic locking member 300 enters the go-intermediate position for the first time, and then the external force on the trigger 400 is removed, and the elastic locking member 300 enters the locking position from the go-intermediate position under the restoring force of the elastic member 510. In the above process, the elastic locking member 300 hits the inner wall of the linkage 500 twice to make two sounds, so that the operator can distinguish the accurate position of the linkage 500 through the prompt of the above sounds, and the linkage 500 and the trigger 400 are installed in place.

[0125] For another example, in the return travel path from the locking position to the initial position, the trigger 400 is stressed, and the elastic member 510 is compressed to the limit again, so that the elastic locking member 300 enters the return-intermediate position, and then the external force on the trigger 400 is removed, and the elastic locking member 300 returns to the initial position from the return-intermediate position under the restoring force of the elastic member 510.

[0126] Optionally, the connecting line between the going intermediate position and the returning intermediate position intersects with the connecting line between the locking position and the initial position, and the going intermediate position is located on one side of the locking position, and the returning intermediate position is located on the other side of the locking position.

[0127] Optionally, the horizontal distance between the going intermediate position and the returning intermediate position and the opening 110 is less than the horizontal distance between the locking position and the opening 110, that is, the elastic member 510 is contracted to the shortest in the going intermediate position and the returning intermediate position, and the connecting part 530 is retracted to the shortest position relative to the mounting sleeve 100; and in the locking position, the elastic member 510 is contracted to a certain limit, and the connecting part 530 is slightly moved outward relative to the mounting sleeve 100 and is in a stable position and does not move. Thus, in the process of stretching and storing the force of the elastic member 510, the direction of the elastic locking member 300 relative to the locking position or the initial position can be further changed, so that the elastic locking member 300 is more easily moved from the going intermediate position to the locking position, and the elastic locking member 300 is more easily moved from the returning intermediate position to the initial position. Further, the relative movement trajectory between the locking position and the initial position is more flexible and is not limited to a straight line, and the elastic locking member 300 is more stably maintained in the locking position and does not fall out.

[0128] In a specific example, as shown in Figure 4 , the first elastic arm 310 has a first going intermediate position B1 and a first returning intermediate position D1 on the connecting frame 520; as shown in Figure 5 , the second elastic arm 320 has a second going intermediate position B2 and a second returning intermediate position D2 on the connecting frame 520.

[0129] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , one side of the opposite two side surfaces of the connecting frame 520 is provided with a first track block 525 and a first matching block 526, the first track block 525 and the first matching block 526 are spaced apart, the first track block 525 is recessed toward the side away from the first matching block 526 to form a first locking position C1, and the first elastic arm 310 moves along the surface of the first track block 525 or the first matching block 526 in the process of moving.

[0130] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the other side of the opposite sides of the connecting frame 520 is provided with a second track block 527 and a second matching block 528, which are spaced apart, the second track block 527 is recessed towards the side away from the second matching block 528 to form a second locking position C2, and the second elastic arm 320 moves along the surface of the second track block 527 or the second matching block 528 during travel. Thus, in the above example, by controlling the shapes of the surfaces of the first track block 525 and the second track block 527, and the shapes of the surfaces of the first matching block 526 and the second matching block 528, the movement trajectories of the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 can be made different, thereby generating a torsion difference, so that the elastic locking member 300 is more easily moved along the preset travel path and stably switches positions.

[0131] In a specific example, the first track block 525 has a first arc surface, a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a third inclined surface connected end to end, the end of the third inclined surface is connected to the beginning of the first arc surface, the beginning of the first arc surface is a first starting position A1, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are arranged at an acute angle, and the intersection of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface forms a first locking position C1; the bottom surface of the first matching block 526 is higher than the lowest part of the first arc surface, the bottom surface of the first matching block 526 is lower than the first locking position C1, and the top surface of the first matching block 526 is higher than the first locking position C1; the end of the bottom surface of the first matching block 526 forms a first go position intermediate position B1, and the end of the top surface of the first matching block 526 forms a first return position intermediate position D1.

[0132] Correspondingly, the second track block 527 has a fourth inclined surface, a fifth inclined surface, a sixth inclined surface and a seventh inclined surface connected end to end, the end of the seventh inclined surface is connected to the fourth inclined surface, and the part close to the intersection of the fourth inclined surface and the seventh inclined surface forms a second starting position A2; the fifth inclined surface and the sixth inclined surface are arranged at an obtuse angle, and the intersection of the fifth inclined surface and the sixth inclined surface forms a second locking position C2; the top surface of the second matching block 528 is higher than the second locking position C2, and the bottom surface of the second matching block 528 is lower than the second locking position C2. The end of the bottom surface of the second matching block 528 forms a second go position intermediate position B2, and the end of the top surface of the second matching block 528 forms a second return position intermediate position D2.

[0133] When the first elastic arm 310 travels along the first arc surface from the first initial position A1, the second elastic arm 320 travels along the fourth inclined surface from the second initial position A2; when the first elastic arm 310 jumps to the first travel intermediate position B1, the second elastic arm 320 jumps to the second travel intermediate position B2; when the elastic member 510 is compressed to the shortest for the first time and the first elastic arm 310 travels along the bottom surface of the first matching block 526, it will jump to the first inclined surface, thereby switching from the first travel intermediate position B1 to the first locking position C1; when the second elastic arm 320 travels along the bottom surface of the second matching block 528, it will jump to the fifth inclined surface, thereby switching from the second travel intermediate position B2 to the second locking position C2. When the elastic member 510 is compressed to the shortest again, the first elastic arm 310 travels along the second inclined surface and gradually jumps to the first return intermediate position D1; when the second elastic arm 320 travels along the sixth inclined surface and gradually jumps to the second return intermediate position D2; then the elastic member 510 releases the force and extends, the first elastic arm 310 travels along the third inclined surface from the first return intermediate position D1 and returns to the first initial position A1; the second elastic arm 320 travels along the seventh inclined surface from the second return intermediate position D2 and returns to the second initial position A2.

[0134] Advantageously, the first arc surface has a slope that changes continuously, and the slope of the fourth inclined surface is fixed, so that during the process, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 will generate a torsional force difference during the travel, thereby advancing along the corresponding wall surface.

[0135] In a specific example, when the assembly is initially pressed, the first elastic arm 310 is located at the first initial position A1, and the second elastic arm 320 is located at the second initial position A2. In the foregoing example with the guide block 523, as shown in Figure 8a the guide block 523 is located at the outermost side of the guide groove 130. In the foregoing example with the pawl 531, the first pawl 5311 and the second pawl 5312 are in the open position.

[0136] When the assembly is initially pressed, the elastic member 510 is compressed to the limit for the first time, and the linkage 500 and the trigger 400 move inward together. Since the lowest point of the first arc surface is lower than the lowest point of the fourth inclined surface, the first travel intermediate position B1 is lower than the second travel intermediate position B2, and the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 will generate a torsional force difference during the travel, so that the first elastic arm 310 is forced upward and travels tightly along the first arc surface; while the second elastic arm 320 is forced downward and travels along the fourth inclined surface, and then the first elastic arm 310 jumps to the first travel intermediate position B1 and emits a sound; the second elastic arm 320 jumps to the second travel intermediate position B2 and emits a sound, thereby producing a reminder function. In the foregoing example with the guide block 523, as shown in Figure 8bAs shown, the guide block 523 moves to the innermost side of the guide groove 130. In the aforementioned example with the pawl 531, the first pawl 5311 and the second pawl 5312 are still in the state of being pressed and contracted, and the trigger piece 400 is locked.

[0137] When the assembly is released, the starting point of the second slope is lower than the starting point of the fifth slope. When the elastic piece 510 is operated to the limit position for the first time and is elongated, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 still have a torsion difference, so that the first elastic arm 310 is forced to move upward and is forced to move along the second slope to the first locking position C1 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic piece 510; the second elastic arm 320 follows the movement of the first elastic arm 310, and after the bottom surface of the second fitting block 528 suddenly changes to the fifth slope, moves along the fifth slope to the second locking position C2. The first elastic arm 310 collides with the first track block 525 to produce a sound, and the second elastic arm 320 collides with the second track block 527 to produce a sound, thereby again producing a reminding function, which indicates that the assembly is in place at this time. In the aforementioned example with the guide block 523, as shown in Figure 8c As shown, the guide block 523 moves to the inner side of the guide groove 130. In the aforementioned example with the pawl 531, the first pawl 5311 and the second pawl 5312 are still in the state of being pressed and contracted, and the trigger piece 400 is locked.

[0138] When the assembly is released, the starting point of the second slope is lower than the starting point of the fifth slope. When the elastic piece 510 is operated to the limit position for the first time and is elongated, the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 still have a torsion difference, so that the first elastic arm 310 is forced to move upward and is forced to move along the second slope to the first locking position C1 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic piece 510; the second elastic arm 320 follows the movement of the first elastic arm 310, and after the bottom surface of the second fitting block 528 suddenly changes to the fifth slope, moves along the fifth slope to the second locking position C2. The first elastic arm 310 collides with the first track block 525 to produce a sound, and the second elastic arm 320 collides with the second track block 527 to produce a sound, thereby again producing a reminding function, which indicates that the assembly is in place at this time. In the aforementioned example with the guide block 523, as shown in Figure 8d As shown, the guide block 523 moves to the inner side of the guide groove 130. In the aforementioned example with the pawl 531, the first pawl 5311 and the second pawl 5312 are still in the state of being pressed and contracted, and the trigger piece 400 is locked.

[0139] When the separation is released, the elastic member 510 is released from the limit compression position, and the elastic member 510 drives the linkage member 500 and the trigger member 400 to move outward together. Since the seventh slope is steeper than the third slope, the second elastic arm 320 travels along the seventh slope under the action of the elastic member 510, and the first elastic arm 310 travels along the third slope under the action of the elastic member 510; and the first elastic arm 310 and the second elastic arm 320 still have a torsion difference, the second elastic arm 320 is suddenly changed from the seventh slope to the fourth slope and returns to the second initial position A2; the first elastic arm 310 is suddenly changed from the third slope to the first arc surface and returns to the first initial position A1. In the foregoing example with the guide block 523, as shown in Figure 8e the guide block 523 moves to the outermost side of the guide groove 130 again. In the foregoing example with the pawl 531, the first pawl 5311 and the second pawl 5312 are opened and release the trigger member 400, so that the trigger member 400 is separated from the linkage member 500.

[0140] It should be noted that the Figure 10a to Figure 10e of the present application are sectional views along the first longitudinal plane, and the first longitudinal plane refers to a plane parallel to the plane where the first sliding groove 521 is located; the position of the first longitudinal plane can be slightly different, but it is appropriate to clearly see the cooperation structure of the first sliding groove 521 and the first elastic arm 310 after sectioning.

[0141] The Figure 11a to Figure 11e of the present application are sectional views along the second longitudinal plane, and the second longitudinal plane refers to a plane parallel to the plane where the second sliding groove 522 is located; the position of the second longitudinal plane can be slightly different, but it is appropriate to clearly see the cooperation structure of the second sliding groove 522 and the second elastic arm 320 after sectioning.

[0142] The air conditioner 2000 of the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0143] According to the air conditioner 2000 of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 12 , it comprises the locking module 1000 in the foregoing various examples, the cabinet 2100 and the detachable member 2200.

[0144] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the mounting sleeve 100 is connected to the cabinet 2100, the linkage member 500 and the elastic locking member 300 are arranged in the mounting sleeve 100, and the cooperation structure between the linkage member 500, the elastic locking member 300 and the mounting sleeve 100 is as described in the foregoing examples, which will not be repeated here.

[0145] As shown in Figure 14As shown, the detachable part 2200 is provided with a trigger part 400. When the trigger part 400 is combined with the linkage part 500, the detachable part 2200 is assembled on the cabinet 2100. When the trigger part 400 is separated from the linkage part 500, the detachable part 2200 is detached from the cabinet 2100.

[0146] Specifically, when the detachable part 2200 is assembled on the cabinet 2100, the trigger part 400 is combined with the linkage part 500 and the elastic locking part 300 is switched to the locking position. This process can be combined with the process that the trigger part 400 is combined with the linkage part 500 and the elastic locking part 300 is switched from the initial position to the locking position, or can be further combined with the process that the elastic locking part 300 is switched from the initial position to the go-back intermediate position and then from the go-back intermediate position to the locking position in the specific examples.

[0147] When the detachable part 2200 is detached from the cabinet 2100, the trigger part 400 drives the linkage part 500 to move towards the opening 110, and the elastic locking part 300 is switched to the initial position. This process can be combined with the process that the trigger part 400 is separated from the linkage part 500 and the elastic locking part 300 is switched from the locking position to the initial position, or can be further combined with the process that the elastic locking part 300 is switched from the locking position to the return intermediate position and then from the return intermediate position to the initial position in the specific examples.

[0148] As shown in the above structure, the air conditioner 2000 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with the locking module 1000 on the cabinet 2100 and the detachable part 2200, so that the detachable part 2200 can be simply assembled relative to the cabinet 2100. Only the trigger part 400 needs to be aligned with the opening 110 to combine the trigger part 400 with the linkage part 500, and a suitable pushing force is applied to move the elastic locking part 300 relative to the linkage part 500 to the locking position. When the pushing force is removed, the combined linkage part 500 and trigger part 400 are kept in the mounting sleeve 100, and the structure is stable. Therefore, the detachable part 2200 assembled relative to the cabinet 2100 is locked throughout the process, the gap between the detachable part 2200 and the cabinet 2100 is controllable, and the assembly is fast. In addition, the assembled part is not prone to vibration and abnormal sound.

[0149] The detachable part 2200 can also be moved towards the opening 110 by applying an external force, such as a pressing force, a pulling force or the like, to the trigger part 400 and the linkage part 500, and the elastic locking part 300 is switched to the initial position, so that the linkage part 500 is elongated to facilitate the movement of the trigger part 400 outward and the separation of the trigger part 400 from the linkage part 500. Finally, the detachable part 2200 is easily detached without the need for other auxiliary tools, and the user's satisfaction is improved.

[0150] It can be understood that, compared with the bolt-nut connection, buckle connection, fixed position magnetic attraction connection between the detachable part 2200 and the shell 2100 in the prior art, the detachable part 2200 and the shell 2100 of the locking module 1000 of the present application are convenient to assemble and disassemble, can be assembled and disassembled multiple times, and are convenient for users to maintain, clean or repair the air conditioner 2000.

[0151] In the foregoing example of the locking module 1000 with the elastic member 510, under the action of a certain external force, the detachable part 2200 of the present application can be automatically assembled in place relative to the shell 2100 and is also convenient to disassemble; the number of parts used is small, the installation is simple, and the production efficiency is high; the assembly and disassembly can be performed for up to 500,000 to 5,000,000 times, which can ensure that the locking module 1000 does not fail during the product life cycle of the air conditioner 2000, and has high durability and reliability.

[0152] In the foregoing example of the locking module 1000 with the clamping jaw 531, the detachable part 2200 can be automatically separated when disassembled relative to the shell 2100 and is tightly locked and positioned when assembled, and has high reliability.

[0153] Optionally, the detachable part 2200 includes a filter screen, an air conditioner rear cover, a face frame and the like, so that the locking module 1000 of the present application has stronger universality and is applicable to more scenarios.

[0154] For example, in a specific example, the detachable part 2200 is a filter screen assembly, the shell 2100 includes a face frame, the shell 2100 is provided with a mounting groove 2110, and a mounting sleeve 100 is connected in the mounting groove 2110, so that the mounting sleeve 100 and the parts inside the mounting sleeve 100 are quickly mounted on the shell 2100. The trigger rod 420 in the foregoing example is connected to one side of the filter screen assembly facing the face frame, and the trigger head 410 extends from the side of the filter screen assembly and can be aligned with the opening 110. Then, when the filter screen assembly of the present application moves towards the face frame, the trigger head 410 is aligned with the joint part 530 outside the opening 110, so as to push the linkage member 500 into the mounting sleeve 100 as a whole, so that the linkage member 500 is shortened and the trigger head 410 is tightly locked. When the filter screen assembly of the present application is pressed, the joint part 530 and the trigger head 410 move towards the outside of the opening 110 under the action of the elastic member 510, so that the clamping jaw 531 as the joint part 530 is automatically separated from the trigger head 410.

[0155] Optionally, as shown in Figure 14 the side wall in the mounting groove 2110 is further provided with a clamping groove 2120, and the outer portion of the mounting sleeve 100 is provided with a limiting part 150, which is clamped in the clamping groove 2120, so that the position of the mounting sleeve 100 relative to the mounting groove 2110 is more stable, and the mounting sleeve 100 is more easily mounted on the shell 2100.

[0156] Advantageously, the locking slot 2120 is located close to the opening 110, and there are multiple locking slots 2120. Correspondingly, multiple limiting parts 150 are also provided on the mounting sleeve 100. The multiple limiting parts 150 are set one-to-one with the positions of the locking slots 2120, thereby forming a stable locking connection. This effectively prevents the mounting sleeve 100 from being pulled out and displaced when the trigger 400 applies force, ensuring that the detachable part 2200 can be repeatedly disassembled and assembled.

[0157] Of course, in addition to using the locking module 1000, the connection between the filter assembly and the housing 2100 in this application can also be achieved by plugging or other methods, thereby forming a faster positioning and installation.

[0158] Optionally, the air conditioner 2000 of this application is a portable air conditioner, which is equipped with a compressor. The detachable part 2200 of this application is connected to the housing 2100 by a locking module 1000, which can better overcome the abnormal noise caused by the vibration of the compressor.
