Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In existing air conditioning units, the display box is detachably mounted on the front panel liner to facilitate cleaning of the internal air ducts. Generally, the display box can slide up and down along the front panel liner. When it is necessary to clean the internal air ducts, the display box can be slid upward relative to the front panel liner to facilitate cleaning of the internal air ducts.

[0003] However, the existing display box is prone to jamming during the sliding process on the front panel backing, resulting in poor sliding. In some cases, the display box may also accidentally fall off the front panel backing, causing damage to the component. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is that the display box is prone to jamming or accidental detachment during the sliding process.

[0005] To address the above problems, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a cabinet air conditioner, which includes:

[0006] The front panel liner has two first wedge blocks. The two first wedge blocks are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. The surface of the first wedge block facing the front panel liner is the first mating surface, which extends vertically.

[0007] The display box is provided with two second wedge blocks. The two second wedge blocks are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. The surface of the second wedge block facing the display box is the second mating surface. The second mating surface can slide with the first mating surface to restrict the display box from moving in the horizontal direction.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment include:

[0009] 1. By slidingly engaging two second wedge blocks on the display box with two first wedge blocks on the front panel liner, and with the second wedge blocks and the first wedge blocks located inside each other respectively, that is, the second mating surface of the second wedge block slidingly engaging with the first mating surface of the first wedge block, the movement of the display box in the horizontal direction away from the front panel liner can be restricted, that is, the movement of the display box in the forward and backward direction can be restricted.

[0010] 2. The two first wedge blocks are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. When the second mating surface of the second wedge block slides into contact with the first mating surface of the first wedge block, the movement of the display box in the left and right directions can be restricted.

[0011] 3. Through the cooperation of the first wedge block and the second wedge block, the display box can only slide up and down along the first wedge block on the front panel liner, which restricts the movement of the display box in four directions: front, back, left, and right. This can prevent the display box from accidentally falling off the front panel liner during the sliding process. Moreover, the display box slides up and down smoothly and is easy to operate.

[0012] In an optional implementation, the two first wedges extend at an angle away from each other, and the two second wedges extend at an angle towards each other.

[0013] Alternatively, the two first wedges extend at an angle toward each other, and the two second wedges extend at an angle toward each other.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, a baffle is provided on the display box, and the baffle and the second wedge are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The baffle, the second wedge, and the display box form a sliding groove, and the sliding groove moves from top to bottom to insert the first wedge into the sliding groove.

[0015] In this way, by forming a groove with the baffle, the second wedge block, and the display box, the first wedge block can be inserted into the groove, which can make the sliding process of the display box on the front panel backing plate more stable.

[0016] In an alternative implementation, the width of the opening of the chute is smaller than the width of the interior of the chute.

[0017] In this way, as the first wedge slides in the groove, it will not detach from the groove opening. Instead, it can only be pulled out from the top of the groove, further preventing the display box from detaching from the front panel backing along the front-back direction.

[0018] In an alternative implementation, the second wedge extends at an angle toward the baffle.

[0019] In this way, the second wedge and the baffle form a semi-encirclement of the first wedge, which can further prevent the display box from detaching from the front panel backing in the front-back direction.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the second wedge block has a notch along the vertical direction, and the baffle is located within the height range of the notch.

[0021] Thus, at the same height of the front panel liner, the second wedge block and the baffle are not both present, but are staggered vertically. If they were at the same height, they might not be able to be demolded during the manufacturing demolding process. However, in this embodiment, the baffle is located within the height range of the notch. During the manufacturing demolding process, demolding is performed in the left-right direction, and the mold part forming the baffle can be demolded through the notch, simplifying the production process, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the front panel liner is further provided with a flat portion, the surface of the flat portion away from the first wedge block is the third mating surface, and the surface of the baffle near the second wedge block is the fourth mating surface, and the fourth mating surface and the third mating surface are slidably mated.

[0023] In this way, the display box is essentially clamped on the third mating surface and the first mating surface, and slides along the third mating surface and the first mating surface, which can improve the stability of the display box sliding.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, the first wedge block is connected to the front panel liner via a straight section;

[0025] Alternatively, both the first wedge and the straight portion are directly connected to the front panel liner, and the first wedge and the straight portion are spaced apart.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, a support portion is also provided on the front panel liner, the support portion being located below the first wedge block, and the support portion being used to support the bottom surface of the display box.

[0027] In this way, after the display box slides down into place, the support part holds the display box in place, preventing the display box from moving further downward.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the front panel liner is also provided with an elastic buckle, and the display box is provided with a slot. When the display box slides down into place, the elastic buckle engages with the slot.

[0029] In this way, after the display box slides down into place, the elastic buckle and the slot cooperate to fix the display box in place, preventing the display box from shaking during the use of the air conditioner. When it is necessary to slide the display box again, pressing the elastic buckle or applying a certain amount of external force can release the cooperation between the elastic buckle and the slot, allowing the display box to continue to slide.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] 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.

[0043] First Embodiment

[0044] Please see Figure 1 The air conditioner unit 1 includes a front panel liner 11 and a display box 12. The display box 12 is slidably connected to the front panel liner 11. When it is necessary to disassemble and clean the internal air duct, the display box 12 can be slid upward relative to the front panel liner 11.

[0045] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The front panel liner 11 is provided with a flat part 111, a first wedge block 113, a support part 115 and an elastic buckle 116.

[0046] Specifically, the two first wedge blocks 113 are inclined relative to each other in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the two first wedge blocks 113 extend inclined in a direction away from each other. In other embodiments, the two first wedge blocks 113 may extend inclined in a direction closer to each other.

[0047] Please see Figure 4The two first wedge blocks 113 mentioned here extending in a direction away from each other mean: Figure 4 The first wedge-shaped block 113 on the left side gradually moves away from the first wedge-shaped block 113 on the right side from one side connecting to the front panel liner 11 to the other side. Similarly, Figure 4 The first wedge 113 on the right side gradually moves away from the first wedge 113 on the left side from one side connected to the front panel liner 11 to the other side.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two first wedge blocks 113 are tilted at equal angles relative to the front panel liner 11. In other embodiments, the two first wedge blocks 113 may be tilted at unequal angles relative to the front panel liner 11, as long as their tilting directions are opposite.

[0049] The surface of the first wedge block 113 facing the front panel liner 11 is the first mating surface 114. The first mating surface 114 extends in the vertical direction and is used to slide with the display box 12, so that the display box 12 can slide along the first mating surface 114 in the vertical direction.

[0050] The first mating surface 114 is located inside the first wedge block 113. During the sliding of the display box 12 along the first mating surface 114, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving in the horizontal direction away from the front panel liner 11, that is, the display box 12 is restricted from moving in the forward and backward direction.

[0051] The two first wedge blocks 113 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. After the display box 12 slides into contact with the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113, the movement of the display box 12 in the left and right directions can be restricted.

[0052] The front panel liner 11 is also provided with a straight part 111. The surface of the straight part 111 away from the first wedge block 113 is the third mating surface 112. The third mating surface 112 is also used to slide with the display box 12. In this way, the display box 12 is equivalent to being clamped on the third mating surface 112 and the first mating surface 114, and slides along the third mating surface 112 and the first mating surface 114, which can improve the stability of the sliding of the display box 12.

[0053] In this embodiment, the straight portion 111 and the first wedge block 113 are integrally formed, and the first wedge block 113 is connected to the front panel liner 11 through the straight portion 111. In other embodiments, the first wedge block 113 and the straight portion 111 can both be directly connected to the front panel liner 11, and the first wedge block 113 and the straight portion 111 are spaced apart.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The front panel liner 11 is also provided with a support part 115, which is located below the first wedge block 113. The support part 115 is used to support the bottom surface of the display box 12. In this way, after the display box 12 slides down into place, the support part 115 supports the display box 12, preventing the display box 12 from moving further downward.

[0055] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The elastic buckle 116 is installed on the front panel liner 11. When the display box 12 slides down into position, the elastic buckle 116 engages with the display box 12. In this way, after the display box 12 slides down into position, the elastic buckle 116 provides a certain degree of fixation for the display box 12, preventing the display box 12 from shaking during the use of the air conditioner unit 1. When it is necessary to slide the display box 12 again, pressing the elastic buckle 116 or applying a certain external force can release the restriction of the elastic buckle 116, allowing the display box 12 to continue sliding.

[0056] Please see Figures 5 to 8 The display box 12 is provided with a second wedge block 121 and a baffle 124.

[0057] Specifically, the two second wedge blocks 121 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the two second wedge blocks 121 extend inclined in the direction that they are closer together. In other embodiments, the two second wedge blocks 121 may extend inclined in the direction that they are farther apart.

[0058] The surface of the second wedge 121 facing the display box 12 is the second mating surface 122. The second mating surface 122 is slidably engaged with the first mating surface 114 to restrict the horizontal movement of the display box 12. That is, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second wedge block 121 and the first wedge block 113 are located inside each other, that is, the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 and the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113 are in sliding engagement. In this way, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving in the horizontal direction away from the front panel liner 11, that is, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving in the forward and backward direction.

[0059] The baffle 124 and the second wedge block 121 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The baffle 124, the second wedge block 121, and the display box 12 form a sliding groove 126. The sliding groove 126 moves from top to bottom, causing the first wedge block 113 to insert into the sliding groove 126. In this way, by forming the sliding groove 126 with the baffle 124, the second wedge block 121, and the display box 12, and by inserting the first wedge block 113 into the sliding groove 126, the sliding process of the display box 12 on the front panel backing plate 11 can be made more stable.

[0060] Preferably, the width of the opening of the groove 126 is smaller than the width of the interior of the groove 126. See also... Figure 7 and Figure 8 During the process of the first wedge block 113 sliding in the slide groove 126, the first wedge block 113 will not disengage from the slide groove 126 through the opening of the slide groove 126. The first wedge block 113 can only be pulled out from the top of the slide groove 126, further preventing the display box 12 from disengaging from the front panel liner 11 in the front-back direction.

[0061] The second wedge 121 extends at an angle toward the baffle 124. In this way, the second wedge 121 and the baffle 124 form a semi-encirclement of the first wedge 113, which can further prevent the display box 12 from detaching from the front panel liner 11 in the front-rear direction.

[0062] The surface of the baffle 124 near the second wedge block 121 is the fourth mating surface 125, which can slidably engage with the third mating surface 112 of the straight portion 111. This improves the stability of the sliding of the display box 12.

[0063] Please see Figure 5 The second wedge block 121 has a notch 123 in the vertical direction, and the baffle 124 is located within the height range of the notch 123. Thus, at the same height of the front panel liner 11, the second wedge block 121 and the baffle 124 are not both present, but are staggered vertically. If they were at the same height, they might be unable to be demolded during the manufacturing process. However, in this embodiment, the baffle 124 is located within the height range of the notch 123. During the manufacturing process, demolding occurs in the left-right direction, and the mold portion forming the baffle 124 can be demolded through the notch 123, simplifying the production process, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0064] The display box 12 has a slot 127. When the display box 12 slides down into place, the elastic buckle 116 on the display box 12 cooperates with the slot 127 to fix the display box 12.

[0065] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner unit 1 provided in this embodiment include:

[0066] 1. By slidingly engaging the two second wedge blocks 121 on the display box 12 with the two first wedge blocks 113 on the front panel liner 11, and with the second wedge blocks 121 and the first wedge blocks 113 located inside each other, that is, the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 and the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113 are slidably engaged, the movement of the display box 12 in the horizontal direction away from the front panel liner 11 can be restricted, that is, the movement of the display box 12 in the forward and backward direction can be restricted.

[0067] 2. The two first wedge blocks 113 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. When the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 slides into contact with the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving in the left and right directions.

[0068] 3. By forming a sliding groove 126 with the baffle 124, the second wedge block 121, and the display box 12, the first wedge block 113 can be inserted into the sliding groove 126, which can make the sliding process of the display box 12 on the front panel backing plate 11 more stable.

[0069] 4. Through the cooperation of the first wedge block 113 and the second wedge block 121, the display box 12 can only slide up and down along the first wedge block 113 on the front panel liner 11, which restricts the movement of the display box 12 in four directions: front, back, left, and right. This can prevent the display box 12 from accidentally falling off the front panel liner 11 during the sliding process. Moreover, the display box 12 slides up and down smoothly and is easy to operate.

[0070] Second Embodiment

[0071] This embodiment provides an air conditioner cabinet unit 1, which has a similar structure to the air conditioner cabinet unit 1 provided in the first embodiment. The difference is that the air conditioner cabinet unit 1 provided in this embodiment does not have a baffle 124.

[0072] For details, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The air conditioner unit 1 includes a front panel liner 11 and a display box 12. The display box 12 is slidably connected to the front panel liner 11. When it is necessary to disassemble and clean the internal air duct, the display box 12 can be slid upward relative to the front panel liner 11.

[0073] A first wedge block 113 is provided on the front panel liner 11. Specifically, the two first wedge blocks 113 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the two first wedge blocks 113 extend inclined in the direction away from each other. The surface of the first wedge block 113 facing the front panel liner 11 is the first mating surface 114, which extends vertically.

[0074] The display box 12 is provided with a second wedge block 121. Specifically, the two second wedge blocks 121 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the two second wedge blocks 121 extend inclined in the direction that they are close to each other.

[0075] The surface of the second wedge block 121 facing the display box 12 is the second mating surface 122. The second mating surface 122 is slidably engaged with the first mating surface 114 to restrict the display box 12 from moving horizontally. That is, the second wedge block 121 and the first wedge block 113 are located inside each other, that is, the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 is slidably engaged with the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113. In this way, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving horizontally away from the front panel liner 11, that is, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving forward and backward.

[0076] Meanwhile, the two second wedge blocks 121 on the display box 12 are located outside the two first wedge blocks 113 on the front panel liner 11, that is, the two first wedge blocks 113 are located in the middle of the two second wedge blocks 121. In this way, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving to the left and right.

[0077] It is understood that in this embodiment, the two first wedge blocks 113 can also extend tilted towards each other, and the two second wedge blocks 121 can extend tilted away from each other. In this way, the two second wedge blocks 121 are located in the middle of the two first wedge blocks 113, which can also restrict the display box 12 from moving to the left and right.

[0078] The other structures of the air conditioner unit 1 provided in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner unit 1 provided in this embodiment include:

[0080] 1. By slidingly engaging the two second wedge blocks 121 on the display box 12 with the two first wedge blocks 113 on the front panel liner 11, and with the second wedge blocks 121 and the first wedge blocks 113 located inside each other, that is, the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 and the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113 are slidably engaged, the movement of the display box 12 in the horizontal direction away from the front panel liner 11 can be restricted, that is, the movement of the display box 12 in the forward and backward direction can be restricted.

[0081] 2. The two first wedge blocks 113 are inclined relative to each other and in opposite directions. When the second mating surface 122 of the second wedge block 121 slides into contact with the first mating surface 114 of the first wedge block 113, the display box 12 can be restricted from moving in the left and right directions.

[0082] 3. Through the cooperation of the first wedge block 113 and the second wedge block 121, the display box 12 can only slide up and down along the first wedge block 113 on the front panel liner 11, which restricts the movement of the display box 12 in four directions: front, back, left, and right. This can prevent the display box 12 from accidentally falling off the front panel liner 11 during the sliding process. Moreover, the display box 12 slides up and down smoothly and is easy to operate.

[0083] It is understood that the core of the embodiments of the present invention lies in: two first wedge blocks 113 are provided on the front panel liner 11, and two second wedge blocks 121 are provided on the display box 12. Through the sliding cooperation of the first wedge blocks 113 and the second wedge blocks 121, the display box 12 can slide up and down relative to the front panel liner 11. At the same time, the horizontal movement of the display box 12 relative to the front panel liner 11 is restricted, including the movement of the display box 12 relative to the front panel liner 11 in the front, back and left and right directions. Thus, the display box 12 can slide smoothly up and down on the front panel liner 11 and the display box 12 is prevented from accidentally falling off the front panel liner 11.

[0084] To achieve the above objectives, the specific structural forms of the first wedge block 113 and the second wedge block 121 are not limited to the specific structural forms provided in the first and second embodiments of the present invention. For example, the first wedge block 113 and the second wedge block 121 can be interchanged to achieve the above technical effects; or, the first wedge block 113 and the second wedge block can be replaced with other snap-fit ​​structures, as long as they can restrict each other to move in the horizontal direction while being able to slide in the vertical direction.

[0085] 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.
