Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning, and more specifically, to a sound-generating module mounting structure and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in daily life. In cold places, air conditioners can be turned on to provide heating; in hot places, they can be turned on to provide cooling, keeping the indoor temperature within a comfortable range and improving the quality of life for users.
[0003] With the gradual advancement of technology, air conditioners have also evolved from the initial remote control to voice control in order to better serve users. Therefore, air conditioners are equipped with a voice module to respond to user commands.
[0004] In existing cabinet-style indoor units, considering the aesthetics of the unit's appearance, the sound module is usually located at the rear of the unit. Since the indoor unit cabinet is usually placed near a corner, it can easily affect the sound output of the sound module, affecting the implementation of voice control commands and resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The problem solved by this invention is that in the prior art, the sound module is usually located on the rear side of the cabinet unit. Since the indoor cabinet unit is usually located near the corner of the wall, it can easily affect the sound output of the sound module, affecting the implementation of voice control commands and resulting in a poor user experience.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a sound-generating module installation structure, including a front housing, a first covering portion and a detachable top cover plate provided on the front housing, the first covering portion and the top cover plate forming the top of the front housing, a sound-generating hole provided on the top cover plate, and a sound-generating module provided on the lower side of the top cover plate, the sound-generating module being correspondingly provided with the sound-generating hole for emitting sound through the sound-generating hole.
[0007] By placing the sound-generating module at the top of the front housing, the above-described configuration does not affect the appearance of the cabinet-type indoor unit and is not affected by its placement in a corner. Compared with existing technologies, this significantly improves the clarity of the sound, allowing users to control the air conditioner via voice commands and enhancing the user experience. The top cover is detachably mounted on the front housing, and can be removed to maintain or replace the sound-generating module, making maintenance and replacement of the sound-generating module more convenient.
[0008] Furthermore, a limiting support structure is provided between the first covering part and the top cover plate. The limiting support structure is used for the installation and positioning support of the top cover plate. A first support part is provided on the front housing. The first support part is provided on the side wall of the front housing, and / or the first support part is provided on the lower side of the first covering part.
[0009] The limiting support structure and the first support part are used to support and position the top cover plate, and to make the first covering part and the top cover plate on the same plane, thereby keeping the top of the front housing smooth. This configuration is simple and quick to assemble, which can effectively shorten the assembly time of the top cover plate. At the same time, the limiting support structure helps the third fixing part and the fourth fixing part to be aligned, which can quickly complete the fixed connection between the top cover plate and the electrical control box, complete the assembly and fixation of the top cover plate, and improve the assembly efficiency of the top cover plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting support structure includes a limiting support part and a support plate, wherein the support plate overlaps with the limiting support part for supporting and limiting the top cover plate.
[0011] The limiting support is disposed on the first covering part and / or the top cover plate, and the support plate is correspondingly disposed on the top cover plate and / or the first covering part. The limiting support is a semi-enclosed recessed platform structure, and the support plate is a protruding plate structure. After the support plate overlaps with the limiting support, it can limit the top cover plate. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.
[0012] Furthermore, the sound-generating module mounting structure also includes a middle frame and an electrical control box, with the sound-generating module mounted on the electrical control box, which is fixedly connected to the middle frame and the top cover plate respectively.
[0013] In this configuration, the electrical control box is fixedly connected to the top cover plate, which fixes the relative positions of the two, thereby ensuring the corresponding setting of the sound-generating module and the sound-generating hole, so as to ensure the sound-generating effect of the sound-generating module. When it is necessary to repair or replace the sound-generating module, the top cover plate needs to be removed. At this time, the electrical control box needs to be separated from the top cover plate. The electrical control box is fixedly connected to the middle frame to provide corresponding support for the electrical control box and avoid the risk of the electrical control box falling when the top cover plate is removed.
[0014] Furthermore, the electrical control box includes a base plate, two oppositely arranged side plates, and two oppositely arranged end plates. The base plate, side plates, and end plates are arranged to form a frame structure with an open top. A sound-generating support is provided on the base plate, and the sound-generating module is disposed on the sound-generating support.
[0015] The opening on one side of the electrical control box relative to the top cover plate allows for the corresponding arrangement of the sound-generating module and the sound-generating hole, thereby achieving a better sound output effect.
[0016] Furthermore, an electrical control mounting part is provided on the middle frame, and a first fixing part and a limiting plate are provided on the electrical control mounting part. A second fixing part is provided on one side plate of the electrical control box. The limiting plate is used to abut and limit the side plate. The second fixing part cooperates with the first fixing part to fix the electrical control box to the middle frame.
[0017] The limiting plate can limit the movement of the electrical control box when it is assembled with the middle frame, so as to achieve the correspondence between the first fixing part and the second fixing part. On the other hand, it provides corresponding support for the electrical control box, so that it remains stable when the top cover is removed, and prevents the electrical control box from tilting or falling off.
[0018] Furthermore, a circuit board is also provided on the base plate, and a thin film is provided on the outside of the base plate. The thin film is arranged correspondingly to the circuit board and is used to shield electromagnetic interference.
[0019] A display module is also provided on the front panel of the air conditioner to display parameters such as the air conditioner's operating status and / or temperature information, and a corresponding display control box and other structures are provided. Due to the limited internal space of the air conditioner, the display control box and the control box are located close to each other, which can easily cause signal interference between them, affecting their performance. The thin film can significantly improve such interference and ensure the normal operation of the circuit board.
[0020] Furthermore, heat dissipation holes are also provided on the thin film for heat dissipation of the circuit board.
[0021] The thin film affects the heat dissipation of the circuit board. If it is not discharged in time, it will seriously affect the service life of the circuit board. The heat dissipation holes are set for the heat-generating components on the circuit board, including but not limited to chips and capacitors. This setting can enable the circuit board to achieve good heat dissipation, so that the electrical control box can work stably for a long time.
[0022] The present invention also discloses an air conditioner, which includes the sound-generating module mounting structure described above.
[0023] The air conditioner and the aforementioned sound-generating module installation structure have the same advantages over the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
[0024] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a rear housing, with a second covering portion provided at the top of the rear housing. When the front housing is fixedly connected to the rear housing, the first covering portion, the top cover plate, and the second covering portion form the top cover of the air conditioner, and the top cover is arranged in an inclined structure.
[0025] The tilted design of the top cover helps to accommodate the tilted speaker structure, thereby achieving a better sound output.
[0026] Compared to existing technologies, this invention, through the placement of a top cover and its lower sound-emitting module, allows the indoor unit of the air conditioner to emit sound from the top. This not only does not affect the appearance of the cabinet-type indoor unit but also avoids the impact of placement in a corner, improving the clarity of the air conditioner's sound. This facilitates user control of the air conditioner via voice commands, enhancing the user experience. The detachable top cover also simplifies the maintenance of the sound-emitting module. The connection method between the electrical control box and the middle frame and top cover improves the installation stability of the electrical control box. The thin film provides excellent heat dissipation for the electrical control box while shielding against electromagnetic interference, and also saves on the manufacturing cost of the electrical control box casing. This invention has a simple structure, is easy and convenient to assemble, improves the overall aesthetics of the front panel, and enhances the accuracy of user voice command control.

Detailed Implementation
[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0043] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a sound-generating module installation structure and an air conditioner having the same.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] This embodiment provides a sound-generating module installation structure, such as Figure 1-3 , Figure 8-10As shown, the device includes a front housing 1, on which a first covering portion 11 and a detachable top cover plate 12 are provided. The first covering portion 11 and the top cover plate 12 form the top of the front housing 1. A sound-emitting hole 124 is provided on the top cover plate 12, and a sound-emitting module 54 is provided on the lower side of the top cover plate 12. The sound-emitting module 54 is correspondingly arranged with the sound-emitting hole 124 and is used to emit sound through the sound-emitting hole 124. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the lower side refers to the traditional lower side after the indoor unit of the air conditioner is installed, and can also be considered as the inner structure of the air conditioner covered by the top cover plate 12. By positioning the sound-emitting module 54 at the top of the front housing 1, the above-described arrangement does not affect the appearance of the current cabinet-type indoor unit, nor is it affected by its placement in a corner. Compared to existing technologies, this significantly improves the clarity of the sound, allowing users to control the air conditioner via voice commands and enhancing the user experience. In existing technologies, the front panel 4 needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement of the sound-emitting module 54. In this embodiment, the top cover 12 is detachably mounted on the front housing 1, allowing for easy removal of the top cover 12 when needed, making maintenance and replacement of the sound-emitting module 54 much simpler. In some optional embodiments, the sound-emitting hole 124 has a gradually inclined and concave structure. A speaker grille 1241 is provided on the hole wall of the sound-emitting hole 124 corresponding to the sound-emitting module 54. The sound emitted by the sound-emitting module 54 is transmitted to the outside of the air conditioner sequentially through the speaker grille 1241 and the sound-emitting hole 124.
[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, a limiting support structure is provided between the first covering part 11 and the top cover plate 12. The limiting support structure is used for the installation and positioning support of the top cover plate 12. A first support part 13 is provided on the front housing 1. The first support part 13 is provided on the side wall 14 of the front housing 1, and / or the first support part 13 is provided on the lower side of the first covering part 11. The limiting support structure and the first support part 13 are used to support and position the top cover plate 12, and to make the first covering part 11 and the top cover plate 12 on the same plane, thereby maintaining the smoothness of the top of the front housing 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support part 13 is disposed on the side of the front housing 1 away from the front panel 4, and the limiting support structure is disposed on the side of the front housing 1 close to the front panel 4. During installation, the limiting support structure is first used to limit the position, and then the top cover plate 12 is lowered so that it is supported on the first support part 13, thus completing the initial assembly of the top cover plate 12. This configuration is simple and quick to assemble, which can effectively shorten the assembly time of the top cover plate 12. At the same time, the limiting support structure helps the third fixing part 122 and the fourth fixing part 56 to align, which can quickly complete the fixed connection between the top cover plate 12 and the electrical control box 5, complete the assembly and fixation of the top cover plate 12, and improve the assembly efficiency of the top cover plate 12. In some optional embodiments, the third fixing part 122 is a countersunk screw hole, and the fourth fixing part 56 is a screw post. The two are fixedly connected by screws. The countersunk screw hole can hide the screw nut, which significantly improves the aesthetics of the product.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the limiting support structure includes a limiting support part 111 and a support plate 121. The support plate 121 overlaps with the limiting support part 111 and is used for supporting and limiting the top cover plate 12. It should be noted that the limiting support part 111 is disposed on the first covering part 11 and / or the top cover plate 12, and the support plate 121 is correspondingly disposed on the top cover plate 12 and / or the first covering part 11. That is, when there are two or more limiting support structures, the limiting support parts 111 can all be disposed on the first covering part 11, and the support plates 121 can all be disposed on the top cover plate 12. When the limiting support parts 111 are all disposed on the top cover plate 12, the support plates 121 are all disposed on the first covering part 11. When several limiting support parts 111 are disposed on the first covering part 11 and several limiting support parts 111 are disposed on the top cover plate 12, the support plates 121 and the limiting support parts 111 are disposed one-to-one on the top cover plate 12 or the first covering part 11, forming a stable limiting support structure. In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the limiting support part 111 is a semi-enclosed recessed platform structure, and the support plate 121 is a protruding plate structure. After the support plate 121 overlaps with the limiting support part 111, it can limit the top cover plate 12. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.
[0048] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the top cover plate 12 is also provided with a handle 123, which is used to assist in disassembling the top cover plate 12. Since the top cover plate 12 forms a plane with the first covering part 11 after assembly, there is no gripping position during disassembly, making it difficult to remove and affecting its disassembly and maintenance efficiency. The handle 123 can significantly shorten the disassembly speed of the top cover plate 12 and reduce maintenance time. In one embodiment, the handle 123 includes an upwardly protruding support plate and a cap for lifting. This structure allows the top cover plate 12 to be lifted with just one finger, making it simple and convenient.
[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, the sound-generating module mounting structure further includes a middle frame 3 and an electrical control box 5, the sound-generating module 54 is disposed on the electrical control box 5, and the electrical control box 5 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 3 and the top cover plate 12 respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 6-10 As shown, an electrical control mounting part 31 is provided on the middle frame 3, a first fixing part 311 is provided on the electrical control mounting part 31, a second fixing part 521 is provided on the electrical control box 5, the second fixing part 521 is correspondingly provided with the first fixing part 311, and is used to fix the electrical control box 5 to the middle frame 3. A third fixing part 122 is provided on the top cover plate 12, and a fourth fixing part 56 is provided on the electrical control box 5, the fourth fixing part 56 is correspondingly provided with the third fixing part 122, and is used to fix the top cover plate 12 to the electrical control box 5. In this configuration, the electrical control box 5 is fixedly connected to the top cover plate 12, which fixes the relative positions of the two, thereby ensuring the corresponding setting of the sound-emitting module 54 and the sound-emitting hole 124, so as to ensure the sound-emitting effect of the sound-emitting module 54. When it is necessary to repair or replace the sound-emitting module 54, the top cover plate 12 needs to be removed. At this time, the electrical control box 5 needs to be separated from the top cover plate 12. The electrical control box 5 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 3 to provide corresponding support for the electrical control box 5, avoiding the risk of the electrical control box 5 falling when the top cover plate 12 is removed. In some optional embodiments, there are two or more of the first fixing part 311, the second fixing part 521, the third fixing part 122, and the fourth fixing part 56, which helps to form a stable fixed connection structure.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11As shown, the electrical control box 5 includes a base plate 57, two oppositely arranged side plates 52, and two oppositely arranged end plates 51. The base plate 57, side plates 52, and end plates 51 form a frame structure with an open top. A sound-generating support part 53 is provided on the base plate 57, and the sound-generating module 54 is disposed on the sound-generating support part 53. In this embodiment, the opening of the electrical control box 5 relative to the top cover plate 12 can meet the requirement of correspondingly arranging the sound-generating module 54 with the sound-generating hole 124 to obtain a better sound-generating effect. Specifically, a connecting structure is provided between the sound-generating support part 53 and the sound-generating module 54 for connecting the two. Optionally, the connecting structure is a snap-fit connection. Further, as... Figure 10 As shown, a hook 531 is provided on the sound-generating support part 53, and a locking post 541 is provided on the sound-generating module 54. The locking post 541 extends into the hook 531 to complete the connection between the sound-generating support part 53 and the sound-generating module 54. This connection method is stable and easy to disassemble and assemble, which is beneficial to the maintenance or replacement of the sound-generating module 54. In some embodiments, the sound-generating module 54 is a speaker.
[0051] In some embodiments, a wire routing groove 511 is provided on the side plate 52 and / or end plate 51 for routing wires. It should be understood that several connecting wires need to be led out from the electrical control box 5. If the wires are led out from the upper side of the side plate 52 and / or end plate 51, there are problems such as messy wire bundles, easy cutting by the side plate 52 and / or end plate 51, and long wires when routing downwards. The wire routing groove 511 can be used for routing wires, and also plays a corresponding role in wire bundling, and can also reasonably configure the length of the corresponding wires.
[0052] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10As shown, an electrical control mounting part 31 is provided on the middle frame 3, and a first fixing part 311 and a limiting plate 312 are provided on the electrical control mounting part 31. A second fixing part 521 is provided on one side plate 52 of the electrical control box 5. The limiting plate 312 is used to abut and limit the side plate 52. The second fixing part 521 cooperates with the first fixing part 311 to fix the electrical control box 5 to the middle frame 3. In some embodiments, the first fixing part 311 is a recessed platform and a hole provided on the recessed platform, and the second fixing part 521 is a connecting piece provided on the top of the side plate 52 and extending outward, and a hole provided on the connecting piece. The connecting piece and the recessed platform can be used to align the holes on both. During assembly, the side plate 52 with the second fixing part 521 abuts against the limiting plate 312, and then the connecting piece is engaged with the recessed platform to complete the alignment of the holes on both. Then, the two are fixedly connected by a fastener. In one embodiment, the fastener is a screw. The setting of the recessed platform and the connecting piece can realize the quick alignment of the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 521, saving assembly time. The setting of the limiting plate 312 can limit the position when the electrical control box 5 is assembled with the middle frame 3 to achieve the correspondence of the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 521. On the other hand, it provides corresponding support for the electrical control box 5, so that it remains stable when the top cover plate 12 is removed, and avoids the electrical control box 5 from tilting or falling off.
[0053] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, a circuit board 55 is also provided on the base plate 57, and a thin film 6 is provided on the outer side of the base plate 57. The thin film 6 is correspondingly provided with the circuit board 55 and is used to shield electromagnetic interference. Generally, a display module is also provided on the front panel 4 of the air conditioner to display parameters such as the operating status and / or temperature information of the air conditioner, and a display control box and other structures are provided accordingly. Due to the limited internal space of the air conditioner, the display control box and the control box 5 are located close to each other, and signal interference is likely to occur between them, affecting their performance. The thin film 6 can significantly improve such interference and ensure the normal operation of the circuit board 55. Optionally, the thin film 6 is attached to the base plate 57 by adhesive. It should be noted that in this embodiment, "outer side" refers to the outer side relative to the frame structure of the control box 5, and the outer side of the base plate 57 is the bottom surface of the control box 5.
[0054] Preferably, heat dissipation holes 61 are also provided on the thin film 6 for heat dissipation of the circuit board 55. During the operation of the circuit board 55, some components on it will generate a lot of heat. The thin film 6 will affect the heat dissipation of the circuit board 55. If the heat is not dissipated in time, it will seriously affect the service life of the circuit board 55. The heat dissipation holes 61 are provided for the heat-generating components on the circuit board 55, including but not limited to chips and capacitors. This arrangement can enable the circuit board 55 to obtain a good heat dissipation effect, so that the electrical control box 5 can work stably for a long time.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] This embodiment discloses an air conditioner, which includes the sound-generating module mounting structure as described in Embodiment 1.
[0057] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment has the same advantages over the prior art as the sound-generating module installation structure described in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a rear housing 2, with a second covering portion 21 provided at the top of the rear housing 2. When the front housing 1 is fixedly connected to the rear housing 2, the first covering portion 11, the top cover plate 12, and the second covering portion 21 form the top cover of the air conditioner, which is arranged in an inclined structure. The inclined arrangement of the top cover helps to correspond to the inclined speaker structure, thereby obtaining a better sound emission effect. In one preferred embodiment, the top cover gradually decreases from front to back. This arrangement makes the structure of the rear housing 2 and the top cover invisible from the front of the air conditioner, making the air conditioner more aesthetically pleasing. It should be noted that in this embodiment, "front and back" refers to the traditional front-back direction of the air conditioner after the housing is assembled.
[0059] The tilted design of the top cover will affect the installation space of the electrical control box 5 and other components. To save space, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the end plate 51 is trapezoidal. As the top cover gradually decreases from front to back, the electrical control box 5 gradually becomes thinner from front to back. This design can reduce the space occupied by the electrical control box 5, which is beneficial for the installation of other components inside the air conditioner.
[0060] In this invention, any air conditioner may include the sound-generating module installation structure described in this embodiment. Based on the relevant structures and assembly relationships of the sound-generating module installation structure provided in this embodiment, the air conditioner also includes conventional air conditioner components such as heat exchangers, compressors, and outdoor units. Since these are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here.
[0061] It should be noted that all directional and positional terms used in this invention, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," "top," "lower," "tail end," "head end," and "center," are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and connection situations between components in a specific state. They are merely for the convenience of describing the invention and do not require the invention to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.
[0062] 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.
