Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, consumers are increasingly using smart appliances to improve their quality of life. To enhance the comfort of their living and working environments, more and more air conditioners are being used in daily life.

[0003] In existing technologies, after prolonged use, air conditioners inevitably accumulate a large amount of dust on components such as the air ducts and air outlet frames. Therefore, to improve aesthetics and ensure high-quality airflow, users need to clean the dust. For deep cleaning, components like the air ducts and air outlet frames must be removed from the air conditioner. However, when disassembling the air outlet frame, external components such as displays may obstruct it, requiring the display's components to be removed first. This undoubtedly increases the number of steps involved in disassembly, making it more difficult and reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is how to improve the technical problem of the complexity and difficulty of disassembling the air outlet frame in the prior art.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner body, an air outlet frame assembly, and a display cover;

[0006] The air outlet frame assembly includes an air outlet frame body, an upper cover plate, and air guide vanes; the air guide vanes are detachably connected to the upper cover plate, and the upper cover plate is detachably connected to the air outlet frame body;

[0007] The air outlet frame body is detachably connected to the air conditioner body, and the display cover is detachably connected to the air conditioner body; the air outlet frame body and the display cover are arranged in parallel so that the display cover avoids the air outlet frame body and is detached from the air conditioner body.

[0008] The advantages of the air conditioner provided by this invention compared to the prior art include:

[0009] In this air conditioner, when it is necessary to disassemble the main body of the air outlet frame, the upper cover can be removed from the main body first. Since the air guide vanes are mounted on the upper cover, the removal of the upper cover can simultaneously remove the air guide vanes, allowing for a thorough cleaning of both the removed air guide vanes and the upper cover. Furthermore, after removing the upper cover and air guide vanes, because the display cover and the main body of the air outlet frame are arranged parallel to each other on the air conditioner body, and the display cover avoids obstructing the main body during disassembly, the main body of the air outlet frame can be disassembled without removing the display cover. This reduces the steps required to remove the display cover, thereby lowering the difficulty of disassembling the main body of the air outlet frame, allowing users to easily complete the disassembly. In other words, this air conditioner effectively addresses the technical problems of complex and difficult disassembly processes in existing technologies.

[0010] Optionally, the upper cover plate and the air guide vanes are disposed on the side of the air outlet frame body near the display cover plate; and at least a portion of the upper cover plate and at least a portion of the air guide vanes are located between the air conditioner body and the display cover plate.

[0011] To facilitate the removal of the display cover, optionally, the display cover is slidably engaged with the air conditioner body, and the display cover can slide away from the air outlet frame body to detach from the air conditioner body.

[0012] To simplify the assembly process of the upper cover plate and the air outlet frame body and reduce the difficulty of disassembling the upper cover plate and the air outlet frame body, optionally, the air outlet frame body is provided with an air outlet cavity, and the air outlet frame body has a top plate that surrounds the air outlet cavity, and the top plate is provided with assembly holes.

[0013] The upper cover plate overlaps the top plate, and the air guide blades extend into the air outlet cavity through the mounting hole; the upper cover plate is detachably connected to the top plate.

[0014] When installing the upper cover plate, place the upper cover plate on the top plate so that the air guide blades extend into the air outlet cavity through the assembly hole. At the same time, the upper cover plate overlaps the top plate. The purpose of assembling the air guide blades on the air outlet frame body can be achieved through the detachable connection between the upper cover plate and the top plate, which simplifies the installation process of the air guide blades and reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide blades.

[0015] Optionally, the upper cover plate includes a plate body and an overlapping portion; the air guide vane is detachably connected to the plate body; the overlapping portion is disposed on both sides of the plate body; the plate body is embedded in the mounting hole and detachably connected to the top plate; the overlapping portion overlaps the top plate.

[0016] To facilitate the assembly of the air guide vanes, the upper cover plate may optionally include a receiving portion; the receiving portion protrudes from the plate body along the edge of the plate body and forms a receiving space; one end of the air guide vane passes through the plate body and is received in the receiving space; the overlapping portion is provided on the outside of the receiving portion.

[0017] To achieve a stable connection between the upper cover plate and the top plate, optionally, the upper cover plate has a first connecting hole; the top plate has a second connecting hole; the air outlet frame assembly also includes a fixing member; the fixing member passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole to allow the top plate and the upper cover plate to be detachably connected.

[0018] To improve the stability of the upper cover plate and the top plate after connection, the first connecting hole may optionally be located in the middle of the upper cover plate. Since the fastener passes through the first and second connecting holes, the upper cover plate and the top plate are detachably connected. The fastener can provide a restraining force from the middle of the upper cover plate upwards, thereby ensuring uniform stress distribution on the upper cover plate as a whole. This improves the problem of warping at the end of the upper cover plate, thus enhancing the stability of the upper cover plate and the top plate installation.

[0019] To improve the assembly stability of the upper cover plate and the top plate, optionally, a mounting part is provided on the side of the upper cover plate near the air outlet cavity, and a mounting hole is provided on the upper cover plate, the mounting hole penetrating the mounting part; one end of the air guide blade is rotatably mounted to the mounting hole;

[0020] A mating groove is provided on the peripheral wall surrounding the assembly hole; the mounting part is accommodated inside the mating groove.

[0021] The mating groove and the mounting part can provide a limiting effect to the upper cover plate, thereby improving the stability of the fit between the upper cover plate and the top plate. Furthermore, the mounting part and the mating groove can provide a positioning effect to the upper cover plate, thereby facilitating the assembly of the upper cover plate and the top plate and improving assembly efficiency.

[0022] Optionally, the mounting part includes a plurality of mounting cylinders, each of which is cylindrical, and each mounting cylinder is provided with a corresponding mounting hole; the mating groove includes a plurality of arc-shaped grooves, and the plurality of mounting cylinders are respectively accommodated in the plurality of arc-shaped grooves.

[0023] The combination of multiple mounting cylinders and multiple arc grooves can further improve the assembly stability of the upper cover plate and the top plate; and the combination of multiple mounting cylinders and multiple arc grooves can provide an effective positioning function for assembling the upper cover plate onto the top plate, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the upper cover plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figure 1This application provides an air conditioner 10, which is configured to be installed in a preset area to provide air conditioning for the air environment within the preset area, thereby adjusting the air quality of the internal environment of the preset area and improving the comfort of the user in the preset area. It should be noted that in this application embodiment, the air conditioner 10 can refer to an indoor air conditioning unit installed in the preset area, which can be a floor-standing air conditioner or a split-type air conditioner. Based on this, the air conditioner 10 is also configured with an outdoor air conditioning unit, which is configured to be located in an area outside the preset area, and the outdoor air conditioning unit is connected to the air conditioner 10 so that when the air conditioner 10 and the outdoor air conditioning unit are in operation, the refrigerant can circulate between the air conditioner 10 and the outdoor air conditioning unit, and during the refrigerant circulation process, the air conditioner 10 can provide air conditioning to the preset area.

[0034] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the air conditioning functions mentioned above include, but are not limited to, temperature regulation, humidity regulation, fresh air supply, wind speed regulation, and dust removal.

[0035] The air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioner body 100, an air outlet frame assembly 200, and a display cover 300. Both the air outlet frame assembly 200 and the display cover 300 are mounted on the air conditioner body 100, and the air outlet frame assembly 200 and the display cover 300 are detachably connected to the air conditioner body 100. It should be noted that the air conditioner body 100 is configured to generate airflow for air conditioning and direct the airflow in a preset direction so that the airflow can flow to a designated location and provide air conditioning at that location; the air outlet frame assembly 200 is used to guide the airflow, thereby guiding the airflow to the designated location. In addition, the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a display panel, which displays information such as the operating status of the air conditioner body 100, the operating parameters of the air conditioner body 100, and user-set parameters, thereby facilitating the user to obtain the real-time operating status of the air conditioner 10. The display cover 300 is used to cover the display panel, thereby providing protection for the display panel.

[0036] In the existing technology, because the setting of the display cover 300 and the setting of the air outlet frame assembly 200 interfere with each other, the display cover 300 must be removed in advance when the air outlet frame assembly 200 needs to be disassembled. When the user needs to replace or clean the air outlet frame assembly 200, the user must first remove the display cover 300 from the air conditioner body 100 before disassembling the air outlet frame assembly 200, which undoubtedly increases the user's disassembly and assembly steps, thereby increasing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and reducing the user experience.

[0037] In order to improve the above-mentioned technical problems, in other words, in order to improve the technical problem in the prior art that the display cover 300 interferes with the disassembly of the air outlet frame assembly 200, thereby causing difficulties for the user in disassembling, the air conditioner 10 in the embodiment of this application is provided.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this air conditioner 10, the air outlet frame assembly 200 includes an air outlet frame body 210, an upper cover plate 220, and air guide vanes 230. The air outlet frame body 210 has an air outlet cavity 201, which guides the airflow generated by the air conditioner body 100 to a designated location to ensure air conditioning is provided at that location. The upper cover plate 220 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame body 210, and the air guide vanes 230 are detachably connected to the upper cover plate 220, extending into the air outlet cavity 201. The air guide vanes 230 provide airflow guidance to the airflow passing through the air outlet cavity 201, thereby ensuring the airflow flows to the designated location according to a user-defined pattern. It should be noted that when the air guide vane 230 is connected to the upper cover plate 220, the air guide vane 230 and the upper cover plate 220 are rotatably coupled, so that the air guide vane 230 can rotate in the air outlet cavity 201, thereby adjusting the flow direction of the airflow exiting the air outlet cavity 201. In addition, the air outlet frame body 210 is detachably connected to the air conditioning body 100, and the display cover plate 300 is detachably connected to the air conditioning body 100; and the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover plate 300 are arranged in parallel, so that the display cover plate 300 avoids the air outlet frame body 210 and is detached from the air conditioning body 100.

[0039] The term "parallel arrangement" can mean that the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are installed on the same side of the air conditioner body 100, and are adjacent and side-by-side. This allows for independent assembly and disassembly of both the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300. In other words, the assembly and disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 are not restricted by the display cover 300; similarly, the assembly and disassembly of the display cover 300 are not restricted by the air outlet frame body 210. Of course, the parallel arrangement of the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 can also mean that the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are in contact, such as... Figure 3 Alternatively, the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 can be spaced apart, such as... Figure 4 .

[0040] It should be noted that "the display cover 300 avoids the air outlet frame body 210 when detaching from the air conditioner body 100" means that the installation position of the display cover 300 and the installation position of the air outlet frame body 210 do not interfere with each other. This ensures that when disassembling the air outlet frame body 210, the air outlet frame body 210 is not affected by the display cover 300. Therefore, the disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 relative to the air conditioner body 100 can be completed even when the display cover 300 is in place. In other words, even without operating the display cover 300, the normal disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 is not affected. Thus, when the upper cover 220 and the air guide vanes 230 are detached from the air outlet frame body 210, the user can directly remove the air outlet frame body 210 from the air conditioner body 100 without interference from the display cover 300, thereby improving the technical problems of complex disassembly steps and difficult disassembly in the prior art.

[0041] As described above, in this air conditioner 10, when it is necessary to disassemble the air outlet frame body 210, the upper cover 220 can be removed from the air outlet frame body 210 first. Simultaneously with the removal of the upper cover 220, since the air guide vanes 230 are mounted on the upper cover 220, the removal of the upper cover 220 can be completed at the same time as the removal of the air guide vanes 230. After removing the upper cover 220 and the air guide vanes 230, since the display cover 300 and the air outlet frame body 210 are arranged parallel to each other on the air conditioner body 100, and the display cover 300 can avoid the air outlet frame body 210 when disassembling the air outlet frame body 210, the air outlet frame body 210 can be disassembled without removing the display cover 300. This reduces the steps required to disassemble the display cover 300, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the air outlet frame body 210, allowing the user to easily disassemble the air outlet frame body 210. In other words, the air conditioner 10 can improve the technical problems of complex and difficult disassembly of the air outlet frame in the prior art.

[0042] It is worth noting that in the embodiments of this application, when the air conditioner 10 is normally placed, the side of the air outlet frame assembly 200 that discharges air is considered the front of the air conditioner 10. Based on this, the air outlet frame body 210 can be disassembled relative to the air conditioner body 100 in a front-to-back direction, thereby preventing the display cover 300 from interfering with the air outlet frame body 210. Of course, the disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 can also be considered as disassembly in a direction closer to or further away from the air conditioner body 100. Additionally, the display cover 300 can be disassembled in a direction closer to or further away from the air outlet frame body 210. Since the display cover 300 is located above the air outlet frame body 210, its disassembly can be considered as disassembly in a vertical direction.

[0043] Optionally, in order to achieve the independence of the display cover 300 and the air outlet frame body 210, so that the disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 is not interfered with by the display cover 300, in some embodiments of this application, to facilitate the differentiation of the installation positions of the display cover 300 and the air outlet frame body 210, the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a first mounting cavity 110 and a second mounting cavity 120, which are arranged in parallel; the air outlet frame body 210 is housed in the first mounting cavity 110, and the display cover 300 is housed in the second mounting cavity 120. The first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 can be regarded as an installation space formed on the front panel of the air conditioner body 100, which is at least partially divided into the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120; that is, the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 can communicate with each other. During the installation of the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300, the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 can be assembled into the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120, respectively. Of course, since the disassembly and assembly of the air outlet frame body 210 and the air conditioner body 100 do not interfere with the disassembly and assembly of the display cover 300 and the air conditioner body 100, the order of assembling the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 is not restricted.

[0044] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this application, when both the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are assembled onto the air conditioner body 100, the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are in contact with each other. During the process of assembling and disassembling the air outlet frame body 210 relative to the air conditioner body 100, the air outlet frame body 210 can move along the display cover 300. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 can also be set as spaces spaced apart from each other. In other words, the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 can be separated from each other by a spacer. When the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are respectively assembled into the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120, the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 can also be arranged spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, even when the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 are connected to each other, a certain gap can be formed between the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 when both are assembled with the air conditioning body 100.

[0045] Of course, the above-mentioned first mounting cavity 110 and second mounting cavity 120 are only for the convenience of explaining the parallel arrangement of the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300. In other embodiments of this application, the arrangement of at least one of the first mounting cavity 110 and the second mounting cavity 120 can also be omitted. In other words, the air outlet frame body 210 and / or the display cover 300 can be installed in a position on the air conditioner body 100 that does not have a recess to form an installation space. On this basis, it is only necessary to ensure that the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover 300 are arranged in parallel with each other, and that the disassembly and assembly of the air outlet frame body 210 relative to the air conditioner body 100 is not interfered with by the display cover 300.

[0046] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, the upper cover plate 220 and the air guide blades 230 are disposed on the side of the air outlet frame body 210 near the display cover plate 300; and at least a portion of the upper cover plate 220 and at least a portion of the air guide blades 230 extend into the second mounting cavity 120. Based on this, when both the air outlet frame assembly 200 and the display cover plate 300 are installed in place, a portion of the upper cover plate 220 and a portion of the air guide blades 230 interfere with the display cover plate 300 in the front-back direction. In other words, a portion of the upper cover plate 220 and a portion of the air guide blades 230 extend into the gap between the display cover plate 300 and the air conditioning body 100, which can also be regarded as a portion of the upper cover plate 220 and a portion of the air guide blades 230 being located between the display cover plate 300 and the air conditioning body 100. Therefore, when disassembling the upper cover 220 and the air guide blade 230, it is necessary to move the display cover 300 away from the air outlet frame body 210 so that the display cover 300 avoids the disassembly of the upper cover 220 and the air guide blade 230.

[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the display cover 300 is slidably engaged with the air conditioner body 100, and the display cover 300 can slide away from the air outlet frame body 210 to detach from the air conditioner body 100. In other words, when the display cover 300 needs to be removed, it can slide relative to the air conditioner body 100, thereby moving the display cover 300 away from the air outlet frame body 210, and thus the display cover 300 can be removed from the air conditioner body 100; at the same time, when the display cover 300 moves away from the air outlet frame body 210, it can achieve the purpose of avoiding the upper cover 220 and the air guide vane 230. It should be noted that the sliding engagement between the display cover 300 and the air conditioner body 100 can be achieved by: providing a sliding groove (not shown) on the air conditioner body 100 and a slider (not shown) on the display cover 300, thereby achieving the sliding engagement between the display cover 300 and the air conditioner body 100 through the sliding engagement of the slider and the sliding groove; of course, the sliding groove can also be provided on the display cover 300 and the slider can be provided on the air conditioner body 100; or, the side of the display cover 300 can be directly adapted to the sliding groove to achieve the sliding engagement between the display cover 300 and the air conditioner body 100, which means eliminating the need for the slider.

[0048] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, when there is a certain gap between the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover plate 300, part of the upper cover plate 220 and part of the air guide blades 230 can also be accommodated in the gap between the air outlet frame body 210 and the display cover plate 300. This ensures that the upper cover plate 220 and the air guide blades 230 do not interfere with each other with the display cover plate 300, so that the air outlet frame assembly 200 can be disassembled and assembled along the front-back direction without being affected by the display cover plate 300. Of course, the upper cover plate 220 and the air guide blades 230 can also be completely installed inside the first mounting cavity 110, so that the upper cover plate 220 and the air guide blades 230 are located inside the air outlet frame body 210. This allows the upper cover plate 220 and the air guide blades 230 to be disassembled at the same time as the air outlet frame body 210 is disassembled, thus avoiding interference from the display cover plate 300.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air conditioner 10 provided in this application not only improves the technical problem of difficult disassembly of the air outlet frame body 210 in the prior art, but also solves the technical problem of difficult disassembly of the air guide blades 230. In the prior art, multiple air guide blades 230 need to be directly installed into the air outlet cavity 201 of the air outlet frame one by one. The assembly of each air guide blade 230 into the air outlet cavity 201 of the air outlet frame is quite difficult. The assembly of multiple air guide blades 230 consumes a lot of assembly time and effort, thereby reducing assembly efficiency.

[0050] In the air conditioner 10 provided in this application, the assembly of the air guide blade 230 is completed by assembling the air guide blade 230 onto the upper cover plate 220 and then assembling the upper cover plate 220 onto the air outlet frame body 210. This greatly reduces the assembly difficulty of the air guide blade 230 and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0051] Optionally, to simplify the assembly process of the upper cover plate 220 and the air outlet frame body 210 and reduce the difficulty of disassembling the upper cover plate 220 and the air outlet frame body 210, the air outlet frame body 210 is provided with an air outlet cavity 201, and the air outlet frame body 210 has a top plate 211 that surrounds the air outlet cavity 201, and an assembly hole 212 is provided on the top plate 211. The upper cover plate 220 overlaps the top plate 211, and the air guide vane 230 extends into the air outlet cavity 201 through the assembly hole 212; the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 are detachably connected. When installing the upper cover plate 220, the upper cover plate 220 is placed on the top plate 211, so that the air guide blade 230 extends into the air outlet cavity 201 through the assembly hole 212. At the same time, the upper cover plate 220 overlaps the top plate 211. The purpose of assembling the air guide blade 230 on the air outlet frame body 210 can be achieved through the detachable connection between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211, which simplifies the installation process of the air guide blade 230 and reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide blade 230.

[0052] The device comprises multiple guide vanes 230, each detachably connected to the upper cover plate 220. Therefore, when assembling the multiple guide vanes 230, each guide vane 230 is assembled to the upper cover plate 220. Since the upper cover plate 220 and the air outlet frame body 210 are separate units, the assembly difficulty of the upper cover plate 220 and the multiple guide vanes 230 is greatly reduced, allowing for rapid assembly of the multiple guide vanes 230 onto the upper cover plate 220. When assembling the multiple guide vanes 230 onto the upper cover plate 220, the upper cover plate 220 and the multiple guide vanes 230 can be considered as a single module. Thus, the single module formed by the upper cover plate 220 and the multiple guide vanes 230 can be directly assembled onto the air outlet frame body 210, enabling rapid installation and assembly of the multiple guide vanes 230. This improves upon the technical problem of difficult assembly of multiple guide vanes 230 in existing technologies.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the upper cover plate 220 includes a plate body 231 and an overlapping portion 232. The guide vane 230 is detachably connected to the plate body 231, and when connected to the plate body 231, the guide vane 230 can rotate relative to the plate body 231. The guide vane 230 rotates about its own axis. Additionally, the overlapping portion 232 is provided on both sides of the plate body 231. When the upper cover plate 220 is assembled with the top plate 211, the plate body 231 is embedded in the mounting hole 212 and detachably connected to the top plate 211; the overlapping portion 232 overlaps the top plate 211.

[0054] By using an overlapping method to assemble the upper cover 220, the assembly process of the upper cover 220 can be simplified, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty. In particular, the overlapping method of assembling the upper cover 220 with the top plate 211 can also be regarded as the upper cover 220 being assembled onto the air outlet frame body 210 from top to bottom.

[0055] In addition, to facilitate the assembly of the guide vane 230, the upper cover plate 220 also includes a receiving portion 233; the receiving portion 233 protrudes along the edge of the plate body 231 and forms a receiving space 2331; one end of the guide vane 230 passes through the plate body 231 and is received in the receiving space 2331; the overlapping portion 232 is provided on the outside of the receiving portion 233. When the guide vane 230 is engaged with the upper cover plate 220, the end of the guide vane 230 passes through the plate body 231. In this case, by receiving the end of the guide vane 230 in the receiving space 2331, not only is the assembly of the guide vane 230 convenient, but the receiving portion 233 also provides protection for the guide vane 230, preventing other components from affecting it, thus ensuring that the guide vane 230 can rotate stably relative to the upper cover plate 220. In addition, by providing the receiving portion 233, the overlapping portion 232 can be provided on both sides of the receiving portion 233, thereby allowing the plate body 231 to be embedded into the mounting hole 212, so as to facilitate the strengthening of the installation stability of the upper cover plate 220.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the main body 231 of the plate can be flush with the overlapping part 232. When the overlapping part 232 overlaps the top plate 211, the main body 231 of the plate can also be positioned above the top plate 211.

[0057] To improve the installation stability of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211, in some embodiments of this application, the upper cover plate 220 is provided with a first connecting hole 2311; the top plate 211 is provided with a second connecting hole 2111; the air outlet frame assembly 200 also includes a fixing member; the fixing member passes through the first connecting hole 2311 and the second connecting hole 2111 to allow the top plate 211 and the upper cover plate 220 to be detachably connected. It should be noted that connecting the top plate 211 and the upper cover plate 220 with the fixing member can stabilize the connection between the top plate 211 and the upper cover plate 220.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, by providing a first connecting hole 2311 and a second connecting hole 2111, that is, by using a fastener, a stable connection between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 is achieved, which facilitates the disassembly of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211. In other words, simply removing the fastener from the first connecting hole 2311 and the second connecting hole 2111 allows the upper cover plate 220 to be easily detached from the top plate 211, enabling quick removal of the upper cover plate 220.

[0059] The fastener can be a screw, in which case the first connecting hole 2311 is a through hole on the upper cover plate 220, and the second connecting hole 2111 can be a threaded hole on the top plate 211. Of course, the fastener can also be a pin or rivet, and the first connecting hole 2311 and the second connecting hole 2111 can be set as a pin hole and a riveting hole, respectively.

[0060] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 can also achieve a stable connection in other ways. For example, mutually cooperating snap-fit ​​parts can be provided on the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211, thereby achieving assembly of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 by snap-fit. Alternatively, an interference fit can be made between the plate body 231 and the mounting hole 212 to achieve a stable connection between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211. Yet another example is that both the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 are provided with magnetic elements to achieve connection between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 by magnetic connection.

[0061] In addition, to improve the stability of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 after connection, the first connecting hole 2311 is set in the middle of the upper cover plate 220. Since the fastener passes through the first connecting hole 2311 and the second connecting hole 2111, the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 can be detachably connected. The fastener can provide a restraining force from the middle of the upper cover plate 220 to the upper cover plate 220, thereby making the upper cover plate 220 uniformly stressed as a whole, thus improving the problem of the upper cover plate 220 lifting at the end, and thus improving the stability of the installation of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211.

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the position of the first connecting hole 2311 can also be set at other positions of the upper cover plate 220, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the connection between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 can also be achieved by using multiple fasteners.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, to improve the assembly stability of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211, a mounting portion 234 protrudes from the side of the upper cover plate 220 near the air outlet cavity 201, and a mounting hole 2341 is formed on the upper cover plate 220, through which the mounting hole 2341 passes. One end of the guide vane 230 is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole 2341. A mating groove 2121 is formed on the peripheral wall surrounding the assembly hole 212; the mounting portion 234 is accommodated inside the mating groove 2121. Through the cooperation of the mating groove 2121 and the mounting portion 234, a limiting effect can be provided to the upper cover plate 220, thereby improving the fit stability between the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211; and, through the cooperation of the mounting portion 234 and the mating groove 2121, a positioning effect can be provided to the upper cover plate 220, thereby facilitating the assembly of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0065] It is worth noting that by providing a mounting part 234 on the upper cover plate 220, the depth of the mounting hole 2341 can be increased, thereby facilitating the rotational connection between the air guide blade 230 and the mounting hole 2341. At the same time, it can also ensure the assembly stability of the air guide blade 230.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting part 234 may also be located on the side of the plate body 231 away from the air outlet cavity 201, so that part of the mounting part 234 is accommodated inside the accommodating space 2331 to facilitate the assembly of the air guide blade 230.

[0067] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting part 234 includes a plurality of mounting cylinders 2342, all of which are cylindrical, and each mounting cylinder 2342 is provided with a corresponding mounting hole 2341; the mating groove 2121 includes a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 2122, and the plurality of mounting cylinders 2342 are respectively accommodated in the plurality of arc-shaped grooves 2122.

[0068] The combination of multiple mounting cylinders 2342 and multiple arc grooves 2122 can further improve the assembly stability of the upper cover plate 220 and the top plate 211; and the combination of multiple mounting cylinders 2342 and multiple arc grooves 2122 can provide an effective positioning function for assembling the upper cover plate 220 onto the top plate 211, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the upper cover plate 220.

[0069] The arrangement of multiple arc-shaped grooves 2122 makes the inner peripheral wall of the mating groove 2121 approximately wavy. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the arrangement of multiple mounting cylinders 2342 can also be in other ways. For example, the mounting cylinders 2342 can be prismatic, and based on this, the arc shape can also be adapted to the prismatic shape.

[0070] In summary, the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment allows the upper cover 220 to be detached from the air outlet frame body 210. Simultaneously with the detachment of the upper cover 220, the air guide vanes 230 are mounted on the upper cover 220, thus enabling the removal of the air guide vanes 230 at the same time. After removing the upper cover 220 and the air guide vanes 230, since the display cover 300 and the air outlet frame body 210 are arranged parallel to each other on the air conditioner body 100, and the display cover 300 can avoid the air outlet frame body 210 during disassembly, the air outlet frame body 210 can be disassembled without removing the display cover 300. This reduces the steps required to disassemble the display cover 300, thereby lowering the difficulty of disassembling the air outlet frame body 210, allowing users to easily disassemble the air outlet frame body 210. In other words, this air conditioner 10 can improve upon the technical problems of complex and difficult disassembly of the air outlet frame in the prior art. In addition, by detaching the upper cover 220 and the air outlet frame body 210 to assemble the air guide blades 230, the assembly process of multiple air guide blades 230 can be simplified, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of multiple air guide blades 230 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0071] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
