Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In wall-mounted air conditioners, the air deflector is driven by a stepper motor. During the installation process, the stepper motor is usually directly mounted on the air conditioner base using bolts and clips. However, this technology has its drawbacks: directly connecting the stepper motor to the air conditioner base can cause the cold airflow or condensation at the air conditioner's outlet to affect the operation of the stepper motor, and may even damage the motor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention can solve the technical problem of cold airflow and condensate from air conditioner outlets affecting the operation of stepper motors.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an air conditioner base, a base body, and a first snap-fit ​​assembly. A drive assembly is installed at the air deflector of the base body to drive the rotation of the air deflector. The drive assembly includes a drive motor and a motor housing. The motor housing has a second snap-fit ​​assembly fitted onto the drive motor, and the second snap-fit ​​assembly can engage with the first snap-fit ​​assembly. When the second snap-fit ​​assembly engages with the first snap-fit ​​assembly, the drive motor is mounted to the base body via the motor housing.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The setting of the first buckle component and the second buckle component realizes the connection between the motor housing and the base body, and the motor housing can protect the drive motor, avoiding the impact of cold air or condensate on the drive motor during the use of the air conditioner, thereby reducing damage to the drive motor and effectively ensuring the efficiency of the drive motor.

[0006] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the base body is provided with a first opening that cooperates with and connects to the second snap-fit ​​component; the first snap-fit ​​component is provided with an installation space, and the second snap-fit ​​component is snapped into the installation space through the first opening.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: the first opening enables the connection between the motor housing and the base body, and the second snap-fit ​​component can be engaged with the first snap-fit ​​component through the first opening, thereby ensuring the connection efficiency between the motor housing and the base body and further shortening the installation time of the drive motor.

[0008] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first buckle assembly includes a first limiting member, the first limiting member being disposed at the first opening, and a snap-fit ​​section being disposed on the side of the first limiting member away from the first opening; wherein, when the second buckle assembly cooperates with the first buckle assembly, the snap-fit ​​section is located between the base body and the second buckle assembly.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the setting of the snap-fit ​​segment realizes the snap-fit ​​of the second snap-fit ​​component. When the second snap-fit ​​component passes through the first opening, it can squeeze the first limiting member, so that under the action of elasticity, the snap-fit ​​segment will snap between the base body and the second snap-fit ​​component, thereby ensuring the snap-fit ​​efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first buckle assembly further includes a second limiting member, the second limiting member being disposed at the first opening and opposite to the first limiting member, and the installation space being located between the first limiting member and the second limiting member.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the second limiting member can cooperate with the first limiting member, so that the second buckle assembly is finally snapped between the first limiting member and the second limiting member; the setting of the first limiting member and the second limiting member enhances the fixing strength of the second buckle assembly, and further ensures the snapping efficiency between the motor housing and the base body.

[0012] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor is provided with a positioning post, and the base body is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning post and the positioning hole can cooperate to realize the positioning and installation between the motor and the base.

[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the setting of the positioning column and the positioning hole realizes the positioning and installation between the drive motor and the base body, further improving the installation efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, three positioning posts are provided, and the three positioning posts are distributed at a position near the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that the setting of the three positioning columns enhances the connection strength between the drive motor and the base body, ensuring connection efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second snap-fit ​​components are provided, and the plurality of second snap-fit ​​components are arranged circumferentially around the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the second buckle is set to multiple, which improves the connection strength between the motor housing and the base body.

[0018] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the base body is provided with an output shaft hole, and the motor housing is provided with an accommodating space. When the motor housing is engaged with the base body, the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the output shaft hole and is exposed outside the accommodating space, and the drive motor is located inside the accommodating space.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: when the motor housing is connected to the base body, the drive motor is located between the motor housing and the base body, and the motor housing protects the drive motor, thereby improving the service life of the drive motor.

[0020] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, multiple first and second latching components are provided. When the drive motor is installed on the base body, the cooperation between the multiple first latching components and the multiple second latching components can restrict the movement of the drive motor on the base body in at least two different directions.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: when multiple first snap-fit ​​components cooperate with multiple second snap-fit ​​components, the stability of the connection between the drive motor and the base body is ensured, and the drive motor is prevented from shaking when the air guide door is rotating, thereby further improving the service life of the drive components and the drive motor.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, an air conditioner is also provided, wherein the air conditioner is provided with the air conditioner base described in the above embodiment.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: After the air conditioner is equipped with the air conditioner base in the above embodiment, it has all the technical features and all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner base in the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0024] In summary, by adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0025] i) The first and second snap-fit ​​components enable the connection between the motor housing and the base body. The motor housing protects the drive motor and prevents the drive motor from being affected by cold air or condensate during the use of the air conditioner, thereby reducing damage to the drive motor and effectively ensuring the efficiency of the drive motor.

[0026] ii) The locking segment enables the locking of the second buckle assembly. When the second buckle assembly passes through the first opening, it can compress the first limiting member. Thus, under the action of elasticity, the locking segment will lock between the base body and the second buckle assembly, thereby ensuring the locking efficiency.

[0027] iii) The positioning post and the positioning hole enable the positioning and installation between the drive motor and the base body, further improving the installation efficiency;

[0028] iv) When the motor housing is connected to the base body, the drive motor is located between the motor housing and the base body, and the motor housing protects the drive motor, thereby improving the service life of the drive motor. Attached image description:

[0042] [First Embodiment]

[0043] See Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner base 50; the air conditioner base 50 includes, for example, a base body 10 and a drive assembly 20; the drive assembly 20 is installed on the base body 10 near the air conditioner air guide door and is used to drive the rotation of the air conditioner air guide door.

[0044] Preferably, the base body 10 has a side plate 17 near the air conditioner air guide door, and a first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 is provided on the inner side of the side plate 17 (i.e. the side facing the air conditioner air guide plate), while an opening corresponding to the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 is provided on the outer side of the side plate 17; the drive assembly 20 is installed on the side plate 17 through the opening, wherein the drive assembly 20 can be installed on the base body 10 by engaging with the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 through the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24.

[0045] Furthermore, an output shaft hole 11 is provided on the side plate 17. When the drive assembly 20 is connected to the base body 10, the drive assembly 20 is located on the outside of the side plate 17, and the output shaft 211 of the drive assembly 20 passes through the output shaft hole 11 from the outside and is exposed on the inside of the side plate 17.

[0046] Preferably, the drive assembly 20 includes a second latching assembly 24; when the drive assembly 20 is connected to the base body 10, the first latching assembly 15 and the second latching assembly 24 engage with each other; wherein, the side plate 17 is provided with a mounting hole 13 at the position corresponding to the first latching assembly 15, and when the second latching assembly 24 engages with the first latching assembly 15, the second latching assembly 24 passes through the mounting hole 13 from the outside of the side plate 17 and finally engages with the first latching assembly 15 on the inside of the side plate 17.

[0047] Furthermore, multiple first latching components 15 and multiple second latching components 24 are provided, with multiple first latching components 15 arranged circumferentially around the output shaft hole 11, and correspondingly, multiple second latching components 24 arranged circumferentially around the output shaft 211; and when the drive motor 21 is installed on the base body 10, the cooperation between the multiple first latching components 15 and the multiple second latching components 24 can restrict the movement of the drive motor 21 on the base body 10 in at least two different directions.

[0048] Specifically, taking the cooperation of the first latching assembly 15 and the second latching assembly 24 to restrict the movement of the drive assembly 20 in the left-right and up-down directions as an example: the first latching assembly 15 includes a first latch 151 and a second latch 152, while the second latching assembly 24 includes a third latch 241 and a fourth latch 242. The first latch 151 and the third latch 241 are engaged, and the second latch 152 and the fourth latch 242 are engaged. The first latch 151 and the third latch 241, when engaged, can restrict the movement of the drive assembly 20 in the left-right direction, and the second latch 152 and the fourth latch 242, when engaged, can restrict the movement of the drive motor in the up-down direction.

[0049] Preferred, see Figure 5The mounting hole 13 includes a first opening 131 and a second opening 132; the third buckle 241 engages with the first buckle 151 through the first opening 131, and the fourth buckle 242 engages with the second buckle 152 through the second opening 132; wherein, the opening shape of the first opening 131 and the second opening 132 can be determined according to the shape of the third buckle 241 and the fourth buckle 242, and of course, the shape of the first opening 131 and the second opening 132 can also be freely set, and can be set to be the same or different, as long as the third buckle 241 and the fourth buckle 242 can pass through.

[0050] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 is provided with a first limiting member 153 and an installation space 155. When the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 engages with the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15, the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 engages with the first limiting member 153, and at this time, the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 is engaged within the installation space 155. Taking the first snap-fit ​​151 as an example: the first limiting member 153 is located on the side plate 17 near the first opening 131, with one end connected to the side plate 17 and the other end suspended. The first limiting member 153 has a snap-fit ​​section 156 facing the first opening 131. When the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 engages with the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15, the snap-fit ​​section 156 is located between the base body 10 and the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​section 156 is located between the extension section 244 of the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 and the side plate 17 of the base body 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 8 (as shown); Similarly, the second limiting member 154 is also provided with a snap-fit ​​section 156, and the structure of the second limiting member 154 is the same as that of the first limiting member 153, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Understandably, since the end of the first limiting member 153 away from the side plate 17 is suspended, the locking section 156 has elasticity. When the third buckle 241 passes through the first opening 131 and engages with the first limiting member 153, the locking section 156 is located between the side plate 17 of the base body 10 and the extension 244 of the third buckle 241. The locking section 156 enables the locking of the second buckle assembly 24. When the second buckle assembly 24 can pass through the first opening 131, it compresses the first limiting member 153. Thus, under the action of elasticity, the locking section 156 will be locked between the base body 10 and the second buckle assembly 24, thereby ensuring the locking efficiency.

[0052] It should be noted that the second buckle 152 has the same structure as the first buckle 151. Similarly, the second buckle 152 is provided with a first limiting member 153 and an installation space 155. The fourth buckle 242 forms a cooperation with the second limiting member 154 through the second opening 132. The cooperation method and structure of the second buckle 152 and the fourth buckle 242 are the same as those of the first buckle 151 and the third buckle 241, and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] It should be noted that the first buckle 151 and the second buckle 152 are also provided with a second limiting member 154. The second limiting member 154 is located on the other side of the first opening 131 and the second opening 132 relative to the first limiting member 153. At this time, the installation space 155 is located between the first limiting member 153 and the second limiting member 154. At the same time, the third buckle 241 and the fourth buckle 242 are engaged between the first limiting member 153 and the second limiting member 154. The second limiting member 154 can cooperate with the first limiting member 153, so that the second buckle assembly 24 is engaged between the first limiting member 153 and the second limiting member 154. The setting of the first limiting member 153 and the second limiting member 154 enhances the fixing strength of the second buckle assembly 24, and further ensures the engagement efficiency between the motor housing 22 and the base body 10.

[0054] Preferred, see Figures 6-7 The drive assembly 20 also includes a drive motor 21 and a motor housing 22. The motor housing 22 has an internal receiving space 23. The drive motor 21 is installed in the receiving space 23. The motor housing 22 can cooperate with the base body 10. When the motor housing 22 and the base body 10 are cooperated, the receiving space 23 with the drive motor opening is formed between the motor housing 22 and the base body 10. The drive motor 21 is installed in the receiving space 23 through the drive motor opening. When the drive motor 21 is installed in the base body 10, the first latching assembly 15 and the second latching assembly 24 can restrict the movement of the drive motor 21 in at least two different directions on the base body 10. The base body 10 has an output shaft hole 11. The motor housing 22 has an internal receiving space 23. When the motor housing 22 and the base body 10 are cooperated, the output shaft 211 of the drive motor 21 passes through the output shaft hole 11 and is exposed outside the receiving space 23 (i.e., the output shaft 211 is located inside the side plate 17). The drive motor 21 is located inside the receiving space 23.

[0055] Furthermore, when the drive assembly 20 is installed onto the base body 10, the motor housing 22 covers the side plate 17 of the base body 10 through the installation opening, further connecting the motor housing 22 to the base body 10. When the motor housing 22 is connected to the base body 10, it prevents the air blown from the air conditioning vent from acting on the drive motor 21 and affecting its operation. It is understood that the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 and the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 connect the motor housing 22 to the base body 10, and the motor housing 22 protects the drive motor 21. To ensure comprehensive protection of the drive motor 21 by the motor housing 22, after the motor housing 22 is installed on the base body 10, a sealed space is formed between the motor housing 22 and the side plate 17, preventing air and condensate from flowing into the drive motor 21.

[0056] Preferably, the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 is disposed on the motor housing 22. Taking the fourth snap-fit ​​242 in the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 as an example: the fourth snap-fit ​​242 is provided with a connecting section 243 and an extension section 244; wherein, the connecting section 243 is connected to the motor housing 22, and the extension section 244 is an extension formed by the connecting section 243 away from the motor housing 22; it should be noted that, in order to ensure the stability of the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 and the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15 after connection, when the fourth snap-fit ​​242 is set, the width of both ends of the fourth snap-fit ​​242 is greater than the width in the middle, that is, the fourth snap-fit ​​242 is set in a dumbbell shape; furthermore, the shape and structure of the third snap-fit ​​241 are the same as those of the fourth snap-fit ​​242, and the third snap-fit ​​241 is also set in a dumbbell shape, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Furthermore, in the second latching assembly 24, there are two third latches 241 and four fourth latches 242. The four fourth latches 242 are located at the four corners of the motor housing 22, and the two third latches 241 are located between any two fourth latches 242. It can be understood that, in order to ensure the stability of the second latching assembly 24, the two third latches 241 are symmetrically arranged between the fourth latches 242. Of course, the number of third latches 241 and fourth latches 242 can also be set to other numbers, depending on the actual situation, and is not limited to the number of third latches 241 and fourth latches 242 in this embodiment.

[0058] Preferred, see Figure 3 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The drive motor 21 is provided with a positioning post 212, and the base body 10 is provided with a positioning hole 12. The positioning post 212 and the positioning hole 12 can cooperate to realize the positioning and installation between the drive motor 21 and the base body 10.

[0059] Furthermore, when connecting the drive assembly 20 to the base body 10, the drive motor 21 is first connected to the base body 10. Then, the motor housing 22 is fitted onto the outside of the drive motor 21. Finally, with the cooperation of the second snap-fit ​​assembly 24 and the first snap-fit ​​assembly 15, the motor housing 22 is fixed to the base body 10, and the drive motor 21 is finally fixed by the motor housing 22.

[0060] Preferably, multiple positioning posts 212 and positioning holes 12 can be provided, and when multiple positioning posts 212 and positioning holes 12 are provided, the multiple positioning posts 212 and multiple positioning holes 12 are matched and positioned one by one; for example, three positioning posts 212 and positioning holes 12 are provided, and the three positioning posts 212 are distributed at the position of the drive motor 21 near the output shaft 211, and the three positioning posts 212 and three positioning holes 12 are arranged in a triangle, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the drive motor 21 and the base body 10. The setting of positioning posts 212 and positioning holes 12 realizes the positioning and installation between the drive motor 21 and the base body 10, further improving the installation efficiency; of course, the number of positioning posts 212 and positioning holes 12 can also be set to other numbers, which can be determined according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0061] Preferably, the positioning post 212 is configured as a cuboid structure, thereby enhancing the stability between the drive motor 21 and the base body 10. It is understood that if the positioning post 212 is configured as a cylinder, the positioning post 212 will rotate relative to the positioning hole 12, which may damage the drive motor 21 and the output shaft 211. However, when the positioning post 212 is configured as a cuboid, the rotation of the positioning post 212 is effectively avoided, and the reliability of the positioning between the positioning post 212 and the positioning hole 12 is enhanced, further ensuring the installation efficiency between the drive motor 21 and the base body 10.
