[0002] With the development of industry and economy, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in every household. There are many types of air conditioners, each suitable for different usage needs. Households generally choose floor-standing cabinet air conditioners for the living room, and wall-mounted split air conditioners for bedrooms, study rooms, and other places. The main reason for choosing cabinet air conditioners in the living room is that they have a greater cooling capacity than split air conditioners, making them more suitable for larger living rooms. However, this large cooling capacity also brings certain disadvantages, namely, large size and space requirements. Cabinet air conditioners are usually placed at right angles to the living room wall. Due to the required placement angle, the air conditioner cannot completely fit the wall, and the actual space occupied will be even greater. The angle between the air conditioner and the wall is large, and the connecting pipes to the outdoor unit are exposed, which can easily create sanitary blind spots and are unsightly.

[0003] Currently, a common way to avoid air conditioning taking up space is to install air conditioning units such as duct units instead. However, duct units must be designed and installed before renovation, and it is difficult to install duct units in a living room that has already been renovated. Another way to avoid air conditioning taking up space is to fix the air conditioner to the wall through a wall-mounted plate. First, the wall-mounted plate is fixed to the wall. The top of the air conditioner is hooked to the hanging hole of the wall-mounted plate by a hook. Then, the bottom of the air conditioner is assembled and fixed to the bottom of the wall-mounted plate by a buckle, so that the air conditioner is hung on the wall and does not take up space.

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Directional terms used herein, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and "side," refer only to directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, these directional terms are intended to illustrate and facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, similar or identical structures are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of an air conditioner 2 in one embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner 2 includes a cabinet and a wall-mounted panel 1. The air conditioner 2 in this embodiment is a cabinet-type air conditioner. The wall-mounted panel 1 is fixed to the wall. The cabinet-type air conditioner 2 is mounted on the wall-mounted panel 1 to be hung on the wall. This does not occupy floor space, is convenient for cleaning, and can eliminate the base compared to traditional cabinet-type air conditioners, reducing costs. In addition, the wall-mounted panel 1 in this embodiment is suitable for installation on an angled wall, such as a right-angled wall in a living room. The wall-mounted panel 1 allows the air conditioner to be suspended on an angled wall. The structure and working principle of the air conditioner 2 and the wall-mounted panel 1 are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a wall-mounted panel 1 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the wall-mounted panel 1 includes a first mounting substrate 11 and a second mounting substrate 12, wherein the first mounting substrate 11 is provided with a sliding portion and a first locking portion, wherein the sliding portion is formed on the first mounting substrate 11, and the first locking portion is provided on the sliding portion; the second mounting substrate 12 is provided with a second locking portion, wherein one side of the second mounting substrate 12 is connected to one side of the first mounting substrate 11, and an angle is formed between the second mounting substrate 12 and the first mounting substrate 11; wherein one side of the air conditioner 2 slides along the sliding portion and cooperates with the first locking portion to form a sliding lock, and the second locking portion forms a lock with the other side of the air conditioner 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 are both irregularly shaped substrates. A first notch 113 is provided on the side of the first mounting substrate 11 away from the second mounting substrate 12; a second notch 123 is provided on the side of the second mounting substrate 12 away from the first mounting substrate 11. For example, the first mounting substrate 11 is a "]"-shaped substrate, and the second mounting substrate 12 is a "["-shaped substrate. Two first locking portions and two sliding portions are provided, one on the upper and lower sides of the "]"-shaped substrate; similarly, two second locking portions are provided, one on the upper and lower sides of the "["-shaped substrate. The two first locking portions, the sliding portion, and the two second locking portions on the upper and lower sides jointly lock the cabinet of the air conditioner 2, achieving double locking. The notch in the irregularly shaped substrate is used, on the one hand, to keep the air conditioner 2 out of the air and avoid the heat dissipation port of the air conditioner 2 from being blocked. On the other hand, it is used to reduce the weight of the wall-mounted panel 1, reducing weight to facilitate transportation and reduce costs.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 The angle between the first mounting base 11 and the second mounting base 12 of the wall-mounted panel 1 matches the angle of the wall, for example, a right angle. This allows the first mounting base 11 and the second mounting base 12 to be attached to the two right-angled walls, providing a more secure fixation. Specifically, the first mounting base 11 and the second mounting base 12 are each provided with fixing holes, which are fixed to the two walls using bolts.

[0038] In the embodiment, one side of the first mounting substrate 11 is connected to one side of the second mounting substrate 12. The first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 correspond to the corner gap in the middle of the right-angled corner. The side away from the corner gap in the middle of the right-angled corner is the other side of the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12. The connection between the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 can be integral, that is, the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 can be an integrally formed substrate that is bent at a right angle in the middle to form two substrates with an angle between them. Of course, it is understood that the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 can also be rotatably connected, for example, by hinges or hinges, thereby achieving relative rotation between the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12. In this way, the angle between the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 can be adjusted to accommodate walls of various angles, such as obtuse and acute angles. In other embodiments, the first mounting substrate 11 and the second mounting substrate 12 may also be curved substrates to adapt to curved walls.

[0039] In the specific installation, the first mounting base plate 11 and the second mounting base plate 12 are respectively installed with two side plates of the air conditioner 2, for example, a left side plate of the air conditioner 2 and a right side plate of the air conditioner 2, the first locking part is matched with the first locking part on the left side plate of the air conditioner 2 to form the first heavy locking, and the second locking part is matched with the second locking part on the right side plate of the air conditioner 2 to form the second heavy locking, so as to realize the double locking.

[0040] By implementing the embodiment, the slide part on the first mounting base plate 11 is used to slide and push the air conditioner 2 to one side, when the air conditioner 2 is pushed to the position, the first locking part is matched with the first locking part on one side of the air conditioner 2 to form the locking, and the second locking part is matched with the second locking part on the other side of the air conditioner 2 to form the locking, so as to limit each direction of the air conditioner 2, thereby locking the air conditioner 2, avoiding the shaking and loosening of the air conditioner 2, improving the stability and firmness of the installation of the air conditioner 2, and avoiding the falling of the air conditioner. Moreover, the air conditioner 2 is installed on the wall hanging plate 1, which realizes the suspension of the air conditioner on the wall under the premise of ensuring the large refrigerating capacity of the cabinet machine, does not occupy the ground area, and can cancel the original cabinet machine base structure. The cabinet air conditioner is fixed on the wall through the wall hanging plate 1, and finally the purpose of reducing the cost by canceling the base is achieved.

[0041] The specific structure of the first mounting base plate 11 and the second mounting base plate 12 will be described below.

[0042] Referring to Figure 6-Figure 8 In an embodiment, the slide part includes a track 111 extending towards the side of the first mounting base plate 11, and the track 111 has an opening at the end away from the side of the first mounting base plate 11 and is closed at the end close to the side of the first mounting base plate 11. Specifically, the track 111 is a horizontally extending track 111, the beginning end of the track 111 is an open end, and the end is a closed section. The open end starts from the other side of the first mounting base plate 11 and penetrates through the other side of the first mounting base plate 11. The track 111 is matched with the roller 211 on the first side plate 21 of the air conditioner 2. When the air conditioner 2 is installed, the first side plate 21 is attached to the wall fixed by the first mounting base plate 11 and is pushed in along the horizontal direction. The roller 211 enters the track 111 from the opening and slides and pushes in along the track 111. The second side plate 22 of the air conditioner 2 moves towards the other wall, so as to further install the second locking part. The installation is convenient and does not require effort. Moreover, the track 111 limits the roller 211 in the vertical direction, avoids the shaking of the air conditioner 2 in the vertical direction, and has high stability.

[0043] Referring to Figure 8In a specific implementation, the track 111 includes a track 111 wall protruding toward one side of the air conditioner 2, and the track 111 wall includes a first side wall 1111, a second side wall 1112 and an end wall 1113. The first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112 are arranged opposite to each other and both extend toward the side of the first mounting substrate 11 to form a push-in channel between the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112, and the end wall 1113 connects the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112 to close the push-in channel; wherein, the first side wall 1111 and / or the second side wall 1112 are provided with the first locking portion. Specifically, the track 111 is enclosed by a first side wall 1111, a second side wall 1112, and an end wall 1113. The first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112 extend horizontally and are parallel to each other. The first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112 serve as a push-in channel for the roller 211 to slide and be pushed in. The end wall 1113 is provided at the end of the track 111, closing the push-in channel to prevent the roller 211 from moving forward and thereby limiting the position of the roller 211. A lock hole 112, i.e., a first locking portion, is provided on the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112. The lock hole 112 cooperates with the lock body 212 and the lock tongue 213 on the first side panel 21 of the air conditioner 2. When the air conditioner 2 is installed, the first side panel 21 is attached to the wall to which the first mounting substrate 11 is fixed and pushed in horizontally. The roller 211 enters the track 111 from the open end and slides along the track 111 until the lock body 212 is pushed into the position corresponding to the lock hole 112. The lock tongue 213 in the lock body 212 pops out and extends into the lock hole 112 to lock it. The roller 211 is fixed in the track 111 and cannot slide anymore, thereby achieving the fixation of the first side panel 21 of the air conditioner 2.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 8Furthermore, the track 111 further includes a skirt limiting wall 1114, which surrounds the first side wall 1111, the end wall 1113, and the second side wall 1112 and is bent toward the push-in channel, wherein the skirt limiting wall 1114 is parallel to the first mounting base 11. In this embodiment, the skirt limiting wall 1114 includes an upper skirt, a lower skirt, and an end skirt, which correspond to the first side wall 1111, the second side wall 1112, and the end wall 1113, respectively. Specifically, the skirt limiting wall 1114 is a portion that is bent and protruded along the entire edge of the track 111. After bending, the entire skirt limiting wall 1114 is parallel to the first mounting base 11. Since the first mounting base 11 is attached to a wall, that is, the first mounting base 11 is parallel to the wall, the skirt limiting wall 1114 is also parallel to the wall. In this way, when the roller 211 is pushed into the pushing channel between the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112, the upper skirt and the lower skirt respectively fit the edges of the roller 211 to stop the roller 211, and the entire roller 211 is stuck in the track 111 to prevent the air conditioner 2 from tilting forward, thereby achieving the limitation of the air conditioner 2 in the front direction of the wall.

[0045] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second locking portion includes a clamping wall 121 and a clamping slot 122. The clamping wall 121 bulges toward the other side of the air conditioner 2, and the clamping slot 122 is formed on the clamping wall 121. Specifically, the clamping wall 121 has an overall rectangular structure, bulging from the second mounting base plate 12. The inner side of the clamping wall 121, i.e., the side closest to the wall, is hollowed out to accommodate the second locking member, i.e., the buckle 221, on the second side wall 1112 of the air conditioner 2. When the air conditioner 2 is installed, the first side plate 21 is attached to the wall fixed by the first mounting base 11 and pushed in horizontally. The roller 211 enters the track 111 and slides along the track 111. The second side plate 22 of the air conditioner 2 moves toward the other wall until the lock body 212 is just pushed into the corresponding position of the lock hole 112. The lock tongue 213 in the lock body 212 pops out and extends into the lock hole 112 to lock it. At the same time, the buckle 221 on the second side plate 22 of the air conditioner 2 hits the locking groove 122 on the locking wall 121, and the buckle 221 pushes into the locking groove 122 to complete the locking. The buckle 221 is accommodated in the hollow area of ​​the locking wall 121 close to the wall side. As a result, the buckle 221 and the locking groove 122 form an inverted structure to prevent the air conditioner 2 from tilting forward, that is, the air conditioner 2 is limited in the front direction of the other wall.

[0046] The embodiment of the present invention also provides an air conditioner 2, including a cabinet and a wall-mounted panel 1, wherein the wall-mounted panel 1 is the wall-mounted panel 1 described in the above embodiment, and the cabinet includes a back panel 23 and a first side panel 21 and a second side panel 22 adjacent to the back panel 23, wherein the first side panel 21 is provided with a first locking member, and the second side panel 22 is provided with a second locking member, wherein the first locking member slides and locks with the sliding portion and the first locking portion, and the second locking member locks with the second locking portion. Wherein, the wall-mounted panel 1 is the wall-mounted panel 1 described in the above embodiment, and since the specific structure of the wall-mounted panel 1 has been described in detail in the foregoing text, it will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity of the specification. Specifically, the cabinet includes a front panel, a back panel 23, a left side panel (first side panel 21), and a right side panel (second side panel 22). When the air conditioner 2 is installed, the back panel 23 faces the corner of the wall, and the front panel faces away from the corner of the wall. The left side panels on both sides are installed with the first mounting base plate 11, and the right side panel is installed with the second mounting base plate 12. It should be noted that in order to accommodate the installation angles of the first mounting base plate 11 and the second mounting base plate 12, the left and right side panels of the cabinet of this embodiment are not parallel to each other, but rather extend outward at a certain angle relative to the back panel 23. This is reflected in the fact that when viewed from above, the back panel 23, the front panel, the left and right side panels are approximately trapezoidal in structure, with the back panel 23 being the top edge of the trapezoid, the front panel being the bottom edge of the trapezoid, and the left and right side panels being the two side edges of the trapezoid. This design of the exterior structure allows the air conditioner 2 to completely adhere to the wall when mounted on the wall-mounted panel 1, reducing space occupancy.

[0047] Reference Figure 11In this embodiment, the first locking member includes a lock body 212 and a lock tongue 213. The lock body 212 is fixed to the first side plate 21. The lock tongue 213 is retractably mounted on the lock body 212 and engages with the first locking portion for locking. Specifically, two lock tongues 213 are provided: an upper lock tongue 213 and a lower lock tongue 213. A spring 214 is disposed within the lock body 212. The ends of the spring 214 connect the upper lock tongue 213 and the lower lock tongue 213, respectively. When the spring 214 is in its natural state, the upper lock tongue 213 and the lower lock tongue 213 extend out of the lock body 212. Both the upper lock tongue 213 and the lower lock tongue 213 have an inclined surface. The side of the lock tongue 213 facing the direction of insertion of the air conditioner 2 is an inclined surface, while the side of the lock tongue 213 facing away from the direction of insertion of the air conditioner 2 is a straight surface. When the lock body 212 enters the track 111 from the open end of the track 111, the inclined surface of the upper lock tongue 213 hits the first side wall 1111 of the track 111, and the inclined surface of the lower lock tongue 213 hits the second side wall 1112 of the track 111; as the lock body 212 continues to be pushed in, the upper lock tongue 213 is pressed down by the first side wall 1111 under the action of the inclined surface, and the upper lock tongue 213 compresses the spring 214 in the lock body 212, and the upper lock tongue 213 retracts into the lock body 212. Similarly, the lower lock tongue 213 is pressed down by the second side wall 1112 under the action of the inclined surface, and the lower lock tongue 213 compresses the lock body 21 2, the lower lock tongue 213 retracts into the lock body 212; until the lock body 212 is pushed to the position corresponding to the lock hole 112 opened on the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112, the upper lock tongue 213 loses the downward pressure applied by the first side wall 1111, and thus pops out from the lock body 212 and extends into the lock hole 112 on the first side wall 1111. Similarly, the lower lock tongue 213 loses the downward pressure applied by the second side wall 1112, and thus pops out from the lock body 212 and extends into the lock hole 112 below the second side wall 1112. As a result, the two lock tongues 213 on the lock body 212 are extended into the two lock holes 112, and the air conditioner 2 cannot continue to move forward or backward, so that the air conditioner 2 is locked in all directions. This installation method does not require the user to use an installation workpiece for installation. It only requires pushing the roller 211 of the air conditioner 2 inward along the track 111 of the wall-mounted plate 1 to automatically complete the locking. The installation is simple and convenient, and it has good stability and a solid structure.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 7Furthermore, the first locking member further includes a roller 211, which is disposed on the first side panel 21 adjacent to the lock body 212 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, two rollers 211 are disposed on the first side panel 21, and both rollers 211 and the lock body 212 are on the same horizontal line. The rollers 211 are located closer to the back panel 23, while the lock body 212 is located closer to the front panel. Therefore, when the air conditioner 2 is installed, the rollers 211 are first pushed into the track 111, and the rollers 211 serve as guides. The provision of two rollers 211 provides the air conditioner 2 with more support points on the wall-mounted panel 1, facilitating the balance of the air conditioner 2.

[0049] The present invention also provides an installation method for an air conditioner 2. The air conditioner 2 in this embodiment is the air conditioner 2 described in the above embodiment. Since the specific structure of the air conditioner 2 has been described in detail above, it will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity. The installation method includes steps: S1-S2.

[0050] S1: Fixing the first mounting substrate 11 to the first wall, and fixing the second mounting substrate 12 to the second wall;

[0051] S2: Push the roller 211 of the first side panel 21 of the air conditioner 2 along the track 111 on the first mounting substrate 11 until the buckle 221 of the second side panel 22 of the air conditioner 2 is pushed into the slot 122 on the second mounting substrate 12. At the same time, the lock tongue 213 of the first side panel 21 of the air conditioner 2 pops out and locks with the lock hole 112 on the track 111.

[0052] Reference Figure 12-14 Specifically, first, secure the wall-mounting plate 1 to the wall with screws. The air conditioner's roller 211, via the wall-mounting plate's track 111, pushes the air conditioner into the wall-mounting plate 1. Once the air conditioner has reached the bottom of the wall-mounting plate 1, the air conditioner's clip 221 engages directly into the wall-mounting plate's slot 122, locking the air conditioner securely. Simultaneously, the air conditioner's lock tongue 213 is pushed outward by the spring 214, snapping it into the wall-mounting plate 1. This achieves a double locking mechanism, ensuring the air conditioner and wall-mounting plate 1 are self-locking and prevented from falling off.

[0053] Thus, by installing the air conditioner 2 on the wall-mounted plate 1, the air conditioner can be suspended on the wall without occupying the ground area while ensuring that the large cooling capacity of the cabinet remains unchanged; the original cabinet base structure can be eliminated, and the cabinet air conditioner can be fixed to the wall by hanging the wall-mounted structure, ultimately achieving the purpose of eliminating the base and reducing costs; the appearance and structural design of the air conditioner 2, in conjunction with the wall-mounted plate 1, ensures that the air conditioner 2 can be completely fixed to the wall, reducing space occupation, and the connecting pipe connected to the outdoor unit can be hidden in the corner of the wall and installed at the bottom of the air conditioner. The air conditioner is suspended from the ground, reducing sanitary blind spots, allowing a sweeping robot to enter for daily cleaning, while also having a good aesthetic effect; and the wall-mounted plate 1 has a double self-locking function after being assembled with the air conditioner, and will not cause the air conditioner to fall due to abnormal shaking between the air conditioner 2 and the wall tube plate.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
