[0040] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, an air conditioner cabinet unit includes: an air conditioner cabinet unit body 1, a top cover 4, a round fish tank 14, and a control panel 11;

[0041] In specific implementation, a top cover 4 is threaded onto the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1. Inside the top cover 4 is a circular fish tank 14 that can rotate and adjust its position. An observation groove 7 is provided on the front of the top cover 4. A control panel 11 that can move in an arc along the length of the observation groove 7 is provided inside the observation groove 7. An arc groove 27 is provided inside the cover wall of the top cover 4 and is connected to the observation groove 7. The control panel 11 can move in an arc and enter or leave the arc groove 27. By adjusting the rotation angle of the circular fish tank 14, a rotating viewing angle can be provided. The control panel 11 has an adjustable position. In daily use, the control panel can be positioned in the arc groove 27 without obstructing the observation groove 7. When the control panel needs to be used, it can be pulled out.

[0042] As a specific technical solution, the control panel 11 is wirelessly connected to the air conditioner cabinet body 1; a base 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air conditioner cabinet body 1, and an air outlet 3 is provided on the front of the air conditioner cabinet body 1. Wireless modules are provided inside the air conditioner cabinet body 1 and the control panel 11; a battery mounting slot is provided on the shell of the control panel 11, and a battery is installed inside the battery mounting slot, which is covered by a battery cover 1101; the battery cover 1101 is connected to the shell of the control panel 11 by screws, and the control is performed through the control panel 11 and wirelessly connected through the wireless module, thereby realizing the control of the air conditioner cabinet body 1.

[0043] In specific implementation, a uniformly distributed anti-slip texture 12 is formed on the top outer wall of the top cover 4; a through hole 6 is formed at the top center of the top cover 4, and an internal thread 13 is formed on the bottom inner ring of the top cover 4; a top seat 20 is provided on the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1, and a rubber gasket 5 is laid on the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1; an external thread 21 is formed on the outer wall of the top seat 20; a bottle mouth 18 is provided at the top center of the round fish tank 14, the bottle mouth 18 is connected to the round fish tank 14, a bottle cap 19 is provided on the bottle mouth 18, and a vent hole is provided on the bottle cap 19; a silicone gasket 16 is laid on the top of the round fish tank 14, and multiple protrusions 17 are provided on the silicone gasket 16. The round fish tank 14 is positioned and installed by the threaded installation of the top cover 4 and the top seat 20.

[0044] Specifically, the top of the top seat 20 has a circular groove 25, and a drive motor 26 is arranged below the circular groove 25. The drive motor 26 is fixedly installed inside the top seat 20, and a frustum 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 26. The frustum 23 is connected to the circular groove 25 with clearance fit. The top of the top seat 20 has several ball holes arranged in a circular array, and ball bearings 22 are installed in the ball holes with clearance fit. The top of the ball bearings 22 is not lower than the top of the frustum 23. For example, the top of the ball bearings 22 is flush with the top of the frustum 23, or the top of the ball bearings 22 is slightly higher than the top of the frustum 23. A block 24 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the frustum 23. The block 24 is connected to the positioning square groove 15 located at the center of the bottom of the circular fish tank 14 with clearance fit, realizing the rotation drive of the circular fish tank 14 and allowing for adjustment of the display angle. At the same time, the ball bearings 22 provide support, and rolling friction is achieved when adjusting the angle to reduce friction.

[0045] The control panel 11 is fixedly fitted with a frame 8 around its perimeter. A side strip 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 8, and an arc-shaped strip 9 is fixedly installed on the other side of the frame 8. The arc-shaped strip 9 is embedded in an arc-shaped groove 27, and a spring wire 28 is provided inside the arc-shaped groove 27. One end of the spring wire 28 is fixedly connected to the end of the arc-shaped strip 9 away from the frame 8, and the other end of the spring wire 28 is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the arc-shaped groove 27. When the control panel 11 needs to be operated, the side strip 10 is pulled, causing the frame 8, arc-shaped strip 9, and control panel 11 to leave the arc-shaped groove 27 and enter the observation groove 7, exposing the control panel 11 for easy operation. At the same time, the spring wire 28 is stretched. When the control panel 11 is not in use, the side strip 10 can be released, and the elastic force of the spring wire 28 causes the frame 8, arc-shaped strip 9, and control panel 11 to retract into the arc-shaped groove 27. The spring wire 28 achieves the limiting position of the control panel 11 through its elastic force.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, as another aspect of this application, an installation method is provided for installing the above-mentioned air conditioner unit, the installation method comprising the following steps:

[0047] S100, positioned placement, is placed on the truncated cone 23 and connected to the block 24 through the positioning slot 15 to achieve positioning placement; wherein, the inside of the fish tank contains ornamental fish;

[0048] S200, top sealing: Place the top cover 4 on the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1. By twisting the top cover 4, the internal thread 13 of the top cover 4 is threadedly connected with the external thread 21 on the top seat 20, thus realizing the installation of the top cover 4 and the positioning of the round fish tank 14. The bottom of the top cover 4 is clamped between the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1 and the top of the air conditioner cabinet body 1. The top inner wall of the top cover 4 contacts the protrusion 17 on the silicone gasket 16, thus achieving top sealing.

[0049] S300, rotating display: In daily use, the round fish tank 14 can be displayed through the observation slot 7. Due to the elastic limit of the spring wire 28, the frame 8, the arc strip 9, and the control panel 11 are all contained in the arc groove 27, so they will not obstruct the display of the round fish tank 14. The drive motor 26 is a servo motor, and the drive motor 26 is controlled through the control panel 11. The drive motor 26 drives the round platform 23 to rotate. Through the action of the square block 24, the round fish tank 14 can rotate, realizing the adjustment of the display angle and allowing for display in different positions.

[0050] S400, the use of control panel 11: When operating control panel 11, by pulling side strip 10, the frame 8, arc strip 9, and control panel 11 are moved out of arc groove 27 and into observation groove 7, thus exposing control panel 11 and allowing operation of control panel 11. At the same time, spring wire 28 is stretched. After operation, side strip 10 can be released, and the elasticity of spring wire 28 causes frame 8, arc strip 9, and control panel 11 to retract into arc groove 27.

[0051] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
