Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a detector mounting structure, an air conditioner humidifying device and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the operation of an air conditioner, indoor air circulation is accelerated, and indoor air is also drier, which makes users feel uncomfortable. Especially in northern regions, because the outdoor climate in winter is relatively cold, indoor heating is generally achieved by using a heater or an air conditioner, so the indoor air is usually dry and hot, which easily causes a large amount of water loss of respiratory mucosa, and further causes problems such as heatiness and respiratory diseases.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent authorization announcement document CN208296033U (authorization announcement date: December 28, 2018) discloses an air conditioner humidifying system. In order to solve the problems such as low automation of existing air conditioners without humidifying function or with humidifying function, the system includes a water storage device independent of an outdoor unit, a water delivery device, and a drainage device arranged in an indoor unit; the water storage device includes a water molecule permeable membrane and a water storage part, water molecules in air can enter the water storage part through the water molecule permeable membrane; the water delivery device is used to deliver water from the water storage device to the drainage device; the drainage device is used to drain the water delivered by the water delivery device to an indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit; in the case that the air conditioner is in a heating operation, the water on the indoor heat exchanger can be vaporized into water vapor and dispersed into the indoor.

[0004] Among them, the installation between the humidity detector and the indoor unit is generally through a screw, which is complicated and inconvenient for people to disassemble and assemble the humidity detector. SUMMARY

[0005] The first object of the present application is to provide a detector mounting structure to solve the technical problem of complicated disassembly and assembly of the existing detector on the panel.

[0006] The detector mounting structure provided by the present application comprises a protruding block and a first accommodating cavity, the first accommodating cavity is arranged on a panel for fixed installation in an indoor unit of an air conditioner, the protruding block is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity and is configured to be relatively rotatable with the first accommodating cavity and fixedly connected with a detector body; a positioning member is movably installed in the protruding block along a radial direction of the protruding block, a cavity side wall of the first accommodating cavity is provided with a positioning groove, and the positioning member can be inserted into the positioning groove; the positioning member is fixedly arranged with a first guide part, the first guide part cooperates with a second guide part arranged on a cavity bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity, and the first guide part and the second guide part are configured to make the positioning member extend and retract relative to the protruding block when the protruding block rotates in the first accommodating cavity.

[0007] By providing a first guide and a second guide, when the protrusion, which can be fixedly connected to the detector body, rotates relative to the first receiving cavity, the positioning member can extend or retract relative to the protrusion. Before the protrusion needs to be placed into the first receiving cavity, the positioning member can be in a retracted state within the protrusion. After being placed into the first receiving cavity, the first guide and the second guide engage, allowing the protrusion and the first receiving cavity to rotate relative to each other. The first guide drives the positioning member, which is fixedly connected to it, to move in the direction of extending out of the protrusion, thereby inserting it into the positioning groove. This achieves axial positioning of the protrusion and prevents the detector body from detaching from the mounting plate.

[0008] When it is necessary to remove the detector body, the detector body can be rotated in the opposite direction relative to the first receiving cavity, that is, the protrusion fixedly connected to the detector body rotates in the opposite direction relative to the first receiving cavity. With the cooperation of the first guide part and the second guide part, the positioning member moves radially back into the protrusion block, the positioning member exits from the positioning groove, releases the axial positioning of the protrusion block, and allows the detector body to be separated from the plate, thereby realizing the removal of the detector.

[0009] Both the installation and disassembly processes can be completed by rotating the detector body and the mounting plate relative to each other. This eliminates the need for the cumbersome and complicated process of using screws and screwdrivers to tighten or loosen multiple screws, which is a common method in existing detector fixing methods. This significantly reduces the number of external parts required for disassembly and assembly, simplifies the operation process, and improves disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning member is fixedly connected to the axial rod, the first guide portion is the first end of the axial rod protruding from the protrusion; the second guide portion is a guide groove, and the distance between the guide groove and the rotation axis of the protrusion changes along the length direction of the guide groove; the first end extends into the guide groove.

[0011] Because the distance between the guide groove and the rotation axis of the protrusion changes along the length of the guide groove, when the protrusion rotates relative to the first receiving cavity, the first end of the axial rod, acting as the first guide portion, moves within the guide groove, which acts as the second guide portion. This changes the distance between the first end of the axial rod and the rotation axis of the protrusion, thereby causing the positioning member to extend and retract radially, thus changing whether the outer end of the positioning member is inserted into the positioning groove. Choosing the second guide portion located on the bottom wall of the cavity as the guide groove reduces the structural complexity of the moving protrusion and facilitates the insertion of the axial rod into the protrusion.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a first spring is fixedly connected to the second end of the axial rod, and the other end of the first spring is connected to the protrusion. The first spring is used to provide a force that causes the positioning member to protrude outward from the protrusion.

[0013] By setting a first spring, the force that pushes the positioning component outward can be maintained, preventing the positioning component from retracting into the protrusion due to unexpected factors. This ensures that when the humidity detector does not need to be removed and is not actively rotated to cause the positioning component to retract inward, the positioning component can remain in the positioning groove, thus improving the reliability of the installation.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the guide groove is a planar spiral shape.

[0015] The planar helical structure of the guide groove reduces the radial distance change caused by the first guide part rotating once in the cavity bottom wall. This correspondingly reduces the helix angle of the guide groove, which facilitates frictional self-locking between the guide groove and the first guide part. In other words, when the helix angle of the guide groove is less than the frictional self-locking angle, no other special locking mechanism is needed; as long as the protrusion is not rotated, the positioning element can be prevented from dislodging from the positioning groove.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion is further provided with a radial limiting component, which includes a limiting member, an axial moving member, and a second spring. The limiting member has a limiting portion and is fixedly connected to the axial moving member. The outer circumferential surface of the positioning member is provided with a limiting recess, and the second spring is used to apply a force to the axial moving member to drive the limiting portion into the limiting recess.

[0017] By connecting the second spring to the axial moving part, the axial moving part can apply a force to the limiting part to insert into the limiting recess on the positioning part. As long as the limiting recess is aligned with the limiting part, the limiting part can be inserted into the limiting recess, thereby limiting the radial position of the positioning part and reducing the maximum outer diameter of the component on the protrusion, making it easier to put the protrusion into the first receiving cavity during installation.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic attraction component is further included, comprising a first magnetic attraction element and a second magnetic attraction element. The first magnetic attraction element is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, and the second magnetic attraction element is fixedly connected to the limiting element. The first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element are configured to generate attraction between them.

[0019] The attraction between the first and second magnetic suction components allows the limiting component to move towards the bottom wall of the cavity via the second magnetic suction component and the axial moving component. When the protrusion is inserted into the first receiving cavity, the first and second magnetic suction components are positioned opposite and close to each other. The attraction between them is greater than the pulling force provided by the second spring to the axial moving component, which is sufficient to move the axial moving component and the limiting component towards the bottom wall of the cavity. This causes the limiting part to disengage from the limiting recess, releasing the locking of the limiting component to the positioning component, thus achieving automatic unlocking of the positioning component. Only rotating the humidity detector is required, without any other actions, improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the positioning component can be pushed radially outward by the axial rod and then enter the positioning groove to install and fix the humidity detector.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic shielding mechanism is further included, which includes a magnetic shielding plate. The magnetic shielding plate and the protrusion are movably disposed relative to each other along the radial direction of the protrusion. The magnetic shielding plate is configured to be movable between the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor and to be movable out of the space between the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor.

[0021] By setting a magnetic shield, when the magnetic shield moves between the first and second magnetic suction components, it can weaken, reduce, or even eliminate the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic suction components. When the limiting part of the limiting component is inserted into the limiting recess, the magnetic attraction is less than the pulling force of the second spring on the axially moving component. As a result, the limiting component begins to move away from the bottom wall of the cavity, and the limiting part can be automatically inserted into the limiting recess to automatically lock the positioning component, preventing the positioning component from interfering with the axial movement of the protrusion when the protrusion is removed from the first receiving cavity.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the plate is provided with a magnetically shielding movement groove, and the magnetically shielding plate is slidably disposed relative to the magnetically shielding movement groove; the outer circumferential surface of the protrusion is provided with an anti-rotation groove, and the magnetically shielding plate is used to insert into the anti-rotation groove and cooperate with the end wall of the anti-rotation groove in the circumferential direction of the protrusion.

[0023] When the protrusion tends to rotate, the end wall of the anti-rotation groove contacts the magnetic shielding plate. The magnetic shielding plate is then restricted by the magnetic shielding movement groove and cannot move in the direction perpendicular to the extension of the magnetic shielding movement groove. This restricts the movement of the anti-rotation groove, thereby restricting the circumferential rotation of the protrusion and achieving circumferential fixation of the protrusion. The magnetic shielding plate not only reduces or eliminates the magnetic force between the first and second magnetic attracting components but also prevents the protrusion from rotating, serving a dual purpose.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic shielding mechanism further includes a traction member and a third spring. One end of the traction member is connected to the magnetic shielding plate via a magnetic shielding moving block, and the other end of the traction member is connected to a magnetic shielding driving assembly. The magnetic shielding driving assembly is disposed on one side of the plate facing the detector body. The third spring is used to drive the magnetic shielding plate to move between the first magnetic suction member and the second magnetic suction member via the magnetic shielding moving block.

[0025] By incorporating a traction component and a third spring, the traction component can pull the magnetic shielding plate outward, causing it to move out of the space between the first and second magnetic suction components, where they can generate a strong attraction. The third spring, which pushes the magnetic shielding moving block, allows the magnetic shielding plate to automatically reset, weakening or even eliminating the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic suction components. The limiting component, under the action of the second spring, can insert its limiting part into the limiting recess, achieving automatic locking of the positioning component.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic isolation drive assembly includes a winding component and a rotating component fixedly connected to the winding component and located outside the plate, wherein the winding component is rotatably connected to the plate.

[0027] By setting up a winding component and a rotating component, the operator can change the length of the non-winding part of the traction component by operating the rotating component outside the plate, thereby controlling the position of the magnetic shielding plate. This allows for adjustment of the attraction between the first and second magnetic components and locking of the protrusion block in a circumferential rotation, improving the ease of operation.

[0028] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioning humidification device to solve the technical problem of the cumbersome and complicated disassembly and assembly of existing detectors on the mounting plate.

[0029] The air conditioning humidification device provided by the present invention includes the detector mounting structure described above.

[0030] By incorporating the aforementioned detector mounting structure into the air conditioning humidifier, the air conditioning humidifier acquires all the advantages of the aforementioned detector mounting structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0031] The third objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that solves the technical problem of the cumbersome and complicated disassembly and assembly of existing detectors on the mounting plate.

[0032] The air conditioner provided by the present invention includes the above-mentioned air conditioning humidification device.

[0033] By installing the aforementioned air conditioning humidification device in the air conditioner, the air conditioner accordingly possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned air conditioning humidification device, which will not be elaborated upon here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0045] 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. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the detector mounting structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of part A; please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The detector mounting structure provided in this embodiment includes a protrusion 210 and a first receiving cavity 110. The first receiving cavity 110 is disposed on a mounting plate 100 for fixed installation in an indoor air conditioning unit. The protrusion 210 is accommodated in the first receiving cavity 110 and configured to be rotatably disposed relative to the first receiving cavity 110 and fixedly connected to the detector body 299. A positioning member 221 is movably installed in the protrusion 210 along the radial direction of the protrusion 210. The cavity sidewall 112 of the first receiving cavity 110 is provided with a positioning groove 114, and the positioning member 221 can be inserted into the positioning groove 114. The positioning member 221 is fixedly disposed with a first guide portion. The first guide portion cooperates with a second guide portion disposed on the cavity bottom wall 111 of the first receiving cavity 110. The first guide portion and the second guide portion are configured to extend and retract relative to the protrusion 210 when the protrusion 210 rotates in the first receiving cavity 110.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protrusion 210 has a second receiving cavity 213, and a portion of the positioning member 221 can move within the second receiving cavity 213. A telescopic through-hole 214 is provided on the side wall of the peripheral surface of the protrusion 210. The positioning member 221 passes through the telescopic through-hole 214 and is slidably connected to the telescopic through-hole 214 to achieve telescopic movement relative to the protrusion 210. It should be noted that although the side wall of the telescopic through-hole 214 and the positioning member 221 are not in contact in the accompanying drawings, this is a modified drawing method used to conveniently show and label the telescopic through-hole 214. In reality, the telescopic through-hole 214 and the positioning member 221 can have a sliding fit. Similarly, although the side wall of the positioning groove 114 and the positioning member 221 are not in contact in the accompanying drawings, this is a modified drawing method used to conveniently show and label the positioning groove 114. In reality, the positioning groove 114 and the positioning member 221 can have a sliding fit.

[0048] Furthermore, if the protrusion 210 needs to rotate more than one revolution, or if n positioning elements 221 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the protrusion 210, and the rotation angle of the protrusion 210 is greater than 360° / n, then the positioning groove 114 should be a full annular groove. If the above requirements cannot be met, the positioning groove 114 can be a groove provided on the cavity sidewall 112 and extending circumferentially along the cavity sidewall 112, as long as sufficient positioning elements 211 can rotate within it, without needing to be a full annular groove.

[0049] The positioning element 221 can be a rod-shaped positioning rod, or it can be a positioning piece or plate whose thickness direction is consistent with the width direction of the positioning groove, or it can be a positioning block in which there is no significant difference in height, diameter, width, and thickness directions. In this embodiment, a rod-shaped form is used.

[0050] In this embodiment, at least two sets of positioning members 221 and a first guide portion can be provided. Specifically, two sets can be symmetrically arranged along the rotation axis of the protrusion 210. Of course, more sets can be provided, such as three, four, or five sets.

[0051] By providing a first guide portion and a second guide portion, when the protrusion 210, which can be fixedly connected to the detector body 299, rotates relative to the first receiving cavity 110, the positioning member 221 can extend and retract relative to the protrusion 210. Before the protrusion 210 needs to be placed into the first receiving cavity 110, the positioning member 221 can be in a state where it is more retracted into the protrusion 210; after being placed into the first receiving cavity 110, after the first guide portion and the second guide portion are properly engaged, the protrusion 210 and the first receiving cavity 110 can be rotated relative to each other. The first guide portion drives the positioning member 221, which is fixedly disposed therewith, to move in the direction of extending out of the protrusion 210, thereby inserting it into the positioning groove 114, realizing the axial positioning of the protrusion 210, and thus preventing the detector body 299 from detaching from the plate 100.

[0052] When it is necessary to remove the detector body 299, the detector body 299 can be rotated in the opposite direction relative to the first receiving cavity 110, that is, the protrusion 210 fixedly connected to the detector body 299 rotates in the opposite direction relative to the first receiving cavity 110. With the cooperation of the first guide part and the second guide part, the positioning member 221 moves radially back into the protrusion 210, the positioning member 221 exits from the positioning groove 114, releasing the axial positioning of the protrusion 210, so that the detector body 299 can be separated from the plate 100, thereby realizing the removal of the detector.

[0053] Both the installation and disassembly processes can be completed by rotating the detector body 299 and the mounting plate 100 relative to each other. This eliminates the need for the cumbersome and complicated process of using screws and screwdrivers to tighten or loosen multiple screws, which is required in the existing method of fixing the detector with screws. This significantly reduces the number of external parts that need to be used for disassembly and assembly, simplifies the operation process, and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, the positioning member 221 is fixedly connected to the axial rod, the first guide part is the axial rod 222 protruding from the first end of the protrusion 210; the second guide part is the guide groove 113, and the distance between the guide groove 113 and the rotation axis of the protrusion 210 changes along the length direction of the guide groove 113; the first end extends into the guide groove 113.

[0055] In this embodiment, the positioning element 221 and the axial rod 222 can be perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The axial rod 222 is T-shaped or inverted T-shaped. That is, the axial rod 222 can be parallel to the axis of rotation of the protrusion 210. Since the axial rod 222 is fixedly connected to the positioning member 221, the first end of the axial rod 222, which serves as the first guide part, is also relatively fixedly set with respect to the positioning member 221.

[0056] A through telescopic elongated hole 211 is provided on the side wall of the protrusion 210 facing the bottom wall 111 of the cavity. The telescopic elongated hole 211 extends radially along the rotation of the protrusion 210. The first end of the axial rod 222 passes through the telescopic elongated hole 211, exits the protrusion 210, and extends into the guide groove 113. It should be noted that although the cross-sectional width of the guide groove 113 in the attached figure is greater than the vertical height of the first end of the axial rod 222, this is a deformed drawing method used to facilitate the display and labeling of the positioning groove 114. In reality, the guide groove 113 and the axial rod 222 can be in a sliding fit relationship.

[0057] Because the distance between the guide groove 113 and the axis of rotation of the protrusion 210 changes along the length of the guide groove 113, when the protrusion 210 rotates relative to the first receiving cavity 110, the first end of the axial rod 222 moves in the guide groove 113, which serves as the second guide part, as the first guide part. This changes the distance between the first end of the axial rod 222 and the axis of rotation of the protrusion 210, thereby causing the positioning member 221 to extend and retract radially, thus changing whether the outer end of the positioning member 221 is inserted into the positioning groove 114. Choosing the guide groove 113 as the second guide part located on the cavity bottom wall 111 reduces the structural complexity of the moving protrusion 210, making it easier for the axial rod 222 to be inserted into the second receiving cavity 213.

[0058] In another implementation, the first guide portion can be configured as a guide groove 113, and the second guide portion as a guide post. The guide groove 113 is an elongated hole extending along an arc on a plate. This elongated hole may or may not penetrate the thickness direction of the plate. The plate is located outside the protrusion 210, fixedly connected to the first end of the axial rod 222, and perpendicular to the axial rod 222. However, this solution would result in a complex component structure in the protrusion 210 and may increase the overall volume of the detector mounting structure, making it less superior than the solution described in the above embodiment.

[0059] Figure 3 for Figure 1 A magnified view of part B; please continue to refer to it. Figure 1 and Figure 2 and combined Figure 3 Preferably, the second end of the axial rod 222 is fixedly connected to a first spring 224, and the other end of the first spring 224 is connected to the protrusion 210. The first spring 224 is used to provide a force that causes the positioning member 221 to protrude outward from the protrusion 210.

[0060] The second end of the axial rod 222 is directly fixedly connected to the radial slider 223, which can slide on the radial slide rail 212 provided on the protrusion 210. The radial slider 223 is directly connected to one end of the first spring 224, and the other end of the first spring 224 is directly connected to the inner end of the radial slide rail 212. That is, the first spring 224 can push the radial slider 223 to move towards the end of the radial slide rail 212 that is farther from the axis of rotation from the protrusion 210. The first spring 224 can be a compression spring. When the compression spring deforms, it can push the positioning member 221 into the positioning groove 114 through the radial slider 223 and the axial rod 222.

[0061] By setting the first spring 224, the force pushing the positioning member 221 outward can be maintained, preventing the positioning member 221 from retracting into the protrusion 210 due to unexpected factors. This ensures that when the humidity detector 200 does not need to be removed and the positioning member 221 is not actively rotated to retract inward, the positioning member 221 can remain in the positioning groove 114, thus improving the reliability of installation.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 Preferably, the guide groove 113 is a planar spiral shape.

[0063] More specifically, a planar spiral guide groove 113 can be provided for each first guide portion. That is, when two sets of the above-mentioned positioning member 221 related structures are provided in the protrusion 210, two planar spiral guide grooves 113 can be machined on the bottom wall 111 of the cavity. The planar spiral shape can be the shape of an Archimedean spiral.

[0064] The guide groove 113, employing a planar helical structure, reduces the radial distance change caused by the first guide portion rotating once within the cavity bottom wall 111. Consequently, the helix angle of the guide groove 113 is reduced, which facilitates frictional self-locking between the guide groove 113 and the first guide portion. In other words, when the helix angle of the guide groove 113 is less than the frictional self-locking angle, no other dedicated locking mechanism is needed; as long as the protrusion 210 is not rotated, the positioning member 221 can be prevented from dislodging from the positioning groove 114.

[0065] Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of the radial limiting assembly and positioning element in the detector mounting structure described above, after the positioning element has exited the positioning groove; please continue to refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 and combined Figure 4 Preferably, a radial limiting component is also installed in the protrusion 210. The radial limiting component includes a limiting member 231, an axial moving member 232, and a second spring 233. The limiting member 231 has a limiting part and is fixedly connected to the axial moving member 232. The outer peripheral surface of the positioning member 221 is provided with a limiting recess 2211. The second spring 233 is used to apply a force to the axial moving member 232 to drive the limiting part to insert into the limiting recess 2211.

[0066] Specifically, an axial groove 216 extending radially is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 210, and the axial groove 216 does not penetrate the wall thickness of the protrusion 210. The axial moving member 232 can be a rod extending radially along the rotation of the protrusion 210, and the inner end of the axial moving member 232 is slidably disposed in the axial groove 216. The limiting member 231 is a rod extending in the axial direction of the rotation of the protrusion 210, one end of the rod is fixedly connected to the axial moving member 232, and the other end of the rod can be inserted into the limiting recess 2211 as a limiting part. The limiting recess 2211 can be a countersunk hole provided on the outer peripheral surface of the positioning member 221 and facing the bottom wall 111 of the cavity.

[0067] The second spring 233 can be a tension spring. One end of the second spring 233 is connected to the axial moving member 232, and the other end of the second spring 233 is connected to the end of the axial groove 216 that is farther from the bottom wall 111 of the cavity. As long as the limiting part of the limiting member 231 is not inserted into the limiting recess 2211, the second spring 233 has already deformed, applying force to the axial moving member 232. Figure 2The force acting on the right side of the middle.

[0068] By connecting the second spring 233 to the axial moving member 232, the axial moving member 232 can apply a force to the limiting member 231 to insert it into the limiting recess 2211 on the positioning member 221. As long as the limiting recess 2211 is aligned with the limiting member 231, the limiting member can be inserted into the limiting recess 2211, thereby limiting the radial position of the positioning member 221 and reducing the maximum outer diameter of the component on the protrusion 210, making it easier to put the protrusion 210 into the first receiving cavity 110 during installation.

[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 Preferably, the detector mounting structure further includes a magnetic suction assembly, which includes a first magnetic suction member 121 and a second magnetic suction member 241. The first magnetic suction member 121 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 111 of the first receiving cavity 110, and the second magnetic suction member 241 is relatively fixedly connected to the limiting member 231. The first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241 are configured to generate attraction between them.

[0070] The first magnetic attractor 121 and the second magnetic attractor 241 can be two magnets configured to attract each other with opposite polarities, or one can be a magnet and the other a ferromagnetic material. Specifically, the second magnetic attractor 241 can be a magnetic ring, fitted onto the axially moving component 232. In another implementation, the second magnetic attractor 241 can also be fixedly connected to the limiting component 231, for example, by adhesive bonding to the end of the limiting component 231 facing the cavity bottom wall 111.

[0071] The attraction between the first magnetic chuck 121 and the second magnetic chuck 241 allows the second magnetic chuck 241 and the axial moving member 232 to drive the limiting member 231 towards the cavity bottom wall 111. When the protrusion 210 is inserted into the first receiving cavity 110, the first magnetic chuck 121 and the second magnetic chuck 241 are opposite and close to each other. The attraction between them is greater than the pulling force provided by the second spring 233 to the axial moving member 232, which is sufficient to drive the axial moving member 232 and the limiting member 231 towards the cavity bottom wall 111, causing the limiting part to disengage from the limiting recess 2211, releasing the locking of the limiting member 231 to the positioning member 221, thereby achieving automatic unlocking of the positioning member 221. Only rotating the humidity detector 200 is required, without any other actions, improving operational efficiency. Thus, the positioning member 221 can be pushed radially outward by the axial rod 222 and then enter the positioning groove 114 to install and fix the humidity detector 200.

[0072] Figure 5 for Figure 2 A magnified view of part D; please continue to refer to it. Figure 2 and combined Figure 5Preferably, the detector mounting structure further includes a magnetic shielding mechanism, which includes a magnetic shielding plate 131. The magnetic shielding plate 131 and the protrusion 210 are movably arranged relative to each other along the radial direction of the protrusion 210. The magnetic shielding plate 131 is configured to be able to move between the first magnetic attractor 121 and the second magnetic attractor 241 and to be able to move out of the space between the first magnetic attractor 121 and the second magnetic attractor 241.

[0073] By setting the magnetic shielding plate 131, when the magnetic shielding plate 131 moves between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241, the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241 can be weakened, reduced, or even eliminated. When the limiting part of the limiting member 231 is inserted into the limiting recess 2211, the magnetic attraction force is less than the pulling force of the second spring 233 on the axially moving member. As a result, the limiting member 231 begins to move away from the bottom wall 111 of the cavity, and the limiting part can be automatically inserted into the limiting recess 2211 to automatically lock the positioning member 221, preventing the positioning member 221 from interfering with the axial movement of the protrusion 210 when the protrusion 210 is removed from the first receiving cavity 110.

[0074] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 Preferably, the plate 100 is provided with a magnetic isolation groove 116, and the magnetic isolation plate 131 is slidably disposed relative to the magnetic isolation groove 116; the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 210 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 217, the magnetic isolation plate 131 is used to insert into the anti-rotation groove 217, and the magnetic isolation plate 131 and the anti-rotation groove 217 cooperate with the end wall of the protrusion 210 in the circumferential direction.

[0075] Specifically, the anti-rotation groove 217 can be provided at one end of the protrusion 210 near the bottom wall 111 of the cavity. The anti-rotation groove 217 extends circumferentially along the rotation of the protrusion 210. The anti-rotation groove 217 has end walls at both ends in its length direction. The magnetic isolation movement groove 116 extends radially along the rotation of the protrusion 210 at a position near the bottom wall 111 of the cavity side wall 112 of the first receiving cavity 110. The magnetic isolation plate 131 can slide relative to the magnetic isolation movement groove 116 along the extension direction of the groove, but cannot move perpendicular to the extension direction.

[0076] When the protrusion 210 tends to rotate, the end wall of the anti-rotation groove 217 contacts the magnetic shielding plate 131. The magnetic shielding plate 131 is then restricted by the magnetic shielding movement groove 116 and cannot move along the extension direction perpendicular to the magnetic shielding movement groove 116. Therefore, the movement of the anti-rotation groove 217 is restricted, thereby restricting the circumferential rotation of the protrusion 210, thus achieving circumferential fixation of the protrusion 210. The magnetic shielding plate 131 not only reduces or eliminates the magnetic force between the first magnetic attractor 121 and the second magnetic attractor 241, but also prevents the protrusion 210 from rotating, serving a dual purpose.

[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5Preferably, the magnetic shielding mechanism further includes a traction member 132 and a third spring 134. One end of the traction member 132 is connected to the magnetic shielding plate 131 through the magnetic shielding moving block 133, and the other end of the traction member 132 is connected to the magnetic shielding driving assembly. The magnetic shielding driving assembly is disposed on one side of the plate 100 facing the detector body 299. The third spring 134 is used to drive the magnetic shielding plate 131 to move between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241 through the magnetic shielding moving block 133.

[0078] The third spring 134 and the magnetically shielding moving block 133 are disposed in the aforementioned magnetically shielding moving groove 116. The third spring 134 can be a compression spring, with one end abutting against the magnetically shielding moving block 133 and the other end abutting against the radially distal end of the magnetically shielding moving groove 116. The magnetically shielding moving block 133 is slidably disposed in the magnetically shielding moving groove 116 and cannot move perpendicular to the extending direction of the magnetically shielding moving groove 116. The magnetically shielding moving block 133 is fixedly connected to the magnetically shielding plate 131. The traction member 132 can be led out of the solid part of the plate 100 through the wire hole 115 disposed in the plate 100. The traction member 132 can be a strip, bar, or wire-shaped component capable of withstanding tension.

[0079] By setting up the traction member 132 and the third spring 134, the traction member 132 can pull the magnetic shielding plate 131 outward, causing the magnetic shielding plate 131 to move outward between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241, whereby the two can generate a large attraction force. The third spring 134 pushes the magnetic shielding moving block 133, which can realize the automatic reset of the magnetic shielding plate 131, thereby weakening or even eliminating the attraction force between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241. Under the action of the second spring 233, the limiting member 231 can drive the limiting part to insert into the limiting recess 2211, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the positioning member 221.

[0080] Figure 6 for Figure 1 A magnified view of part C; please refer to... Figure 6 Preferably, the magnetically shielded drive assembly includes a winding member 135 and a rotating member 136 fixedly connected to the winding member 135 and located outside the plate 100, wherein the winding member 135 is rotatably connected to the plate 100.

[0081] Specifically, a winding member 135 is provided for each traction member 132. The winding member 135 can be, for example, a winding rod located in the winding cavity 117 of the plate 100 facing the detector body 299. As the length of the traction member 132 wound on the winding rod increases, the length of the winding member 135 between the winding rod and the magnetic isolation moving block 133 decreases, thereby driving the magnetic isolation plate 131 away from the protrusion 210 through the magnetic isolation moving block 133, and out of the space between the first magnetic suction member 121 and the second magnetic suction member 241. Specifically, the rotating member 136 can be a cylinder with a diameter larger than that of the winding member 135, and the circumferential surface of the cylinder can be provided with a knurled structure or friction protrusions extending along the winding motion axis and distributed circumferentially.

[0082] By setting up the winding component 135 and the rotating component 136, the operator can change the length of the non-winding part of the traction component 132 outside the plate 100 by operating the rotating component 136, thereby controlling the position of the magnetic shielding plate 131, so as to adjust the attraction between the first magnetic suction component 121 and the second magnetic suction component 241 and lock the protrusion 210 to rotate circumferentially, thus improving the convenience of operation.

[0083] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0084] Taking the initial state as an example where the humidity detector 200 has not yet been installed on the panel 100.

[0085] Please refer to the initial state. Figure 4 In the initial state, the positioning member 221 can be compressed into the second receiving cavity 213 by external force. Inside the second receiving cavity 213, due to the cooperation of the radial slide rail 212 and the radial slider 223, as well as the cooperation of the axial rod 222 and the telescopic elongated hole 211, the two axial rods 222 can approach each other. Since the limiting part of the limiting member 231 is not inserted into the limiting recess 2211 on the positioning member 221 at this time, the external force only needs to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 224.

[0086] When compressed to the desired position, the limiting part and the limiting recess 2211 are aligned. The limiting member 231 is driven by the second spring 233, which is in a stretched state, through the axial moving member 232, and the limiting part is inserted into the limiting recess 2211. This locks the radial position of the positioning member 221. At this time, taking two positioning members 221 on the same diameter on the protrusion 210 as an example, the distance between the outermost ends of the two positioning members 221 is less than or equal to the diameter of the first receiving cavity 110, or the minimum width of the first receiving cavity 110. The protrusion 210 can rotate freely during the process of being sent into the receiving cavity.

[0087] In addition, before installing the humidity detector 200, the rotating component 136 can be manually rotated, thereby driving the winding component 135 to rotate, winding more of the traction component 132 onto the winding component 135, thereby driving the magnetic isolation moving block 133 to compress the third spring 134, and finally driving the magnetic isolation plate 131 to disengage from the area directly opposite the first magnetic suction component 121.

[0088] Then, the humidity detector 200 is moved, and the detector body 299 and the protrusion 210 move together, sending the protrusion 210 into the first receiving cavity 110 until the axial rod 222 is inserted into the guide groove 113. After the outer end of the axial rod 222 is inserted into the guide groove 113, because the distance between the first magnetic member 121 and the second magnetic member 241 is close, the magnetic attraction between them is greater than the pulling force of the second spring 233 on the axial movable member away from the bottom wall 111 of the cavity. Therefore, the second magnetic member 241 drives the axial movable member and the limiting member 231 to move towards the bottom wall 111 of the cavity, and the limiting part retracts from the limiting recess 2211, releasing the limiting member 221 in the radial direction of the rotation of the protrusion 210.

[0089] As the second magnetic attraction gets closer to the first magnetic attraction member 121 fixed to the bottom wall 111 of the cavity, the magnetic attraction increases. Although the movement of the axially movable member also causes an increase in the degree of tensile deformation of the second spring 233 and an increase in the elastic force of the second spring 233, the increase is not as great as the increase in the magnetic attraction. Therefore, as long as the magnetic attraction exceeds the elastic force of the second spring 233, and other external factors remain unchanged, the limiting member 231 and the positioning member 221 can be reliably unlocked.

[0090] The rotating detector body 299 rotates together with the detector body 299 and the protrusion 210 because the axial rod 222 is located in the telescopic elongated hole 211. Guided by the planar spiral guide groove 113, as the protrusion 210 rotates, the axial rod 222 moves in the guide groove 113, and the two axial rods 222 also move away from the rotation center along the planar spiral trajectory of the guide groove 113. This causes the length of the positioning member 221 extending beyond the outer circumference of the protrusion 210 to increase until the positioning member 221 is inserted into the positioning groove 114, thus achieving axial positioning of the protrusion 210.

[0091] Then, the rotating component 136 is released. Under the action of the third spring 134, the magnetic shielding moving block 133 drives the magnetic shielding plate 131 to move towards the anti-rotation groove 217 on the protrusion 210 until the magnetic shielding plate 131 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove 217. Since the magnetic shielding plate 131 and the magnetic shielding moving block 133 are guided by the magnetic shielding moving groove 116, they cannot move perpendicular to the magnetic shielding moving groove 116. And since the extending direction of the magnetic shielding moving groove 116 is the radial direction of the rotation of the protrusion 210, the protrusion 210 also cannot rotate circumferentially.

[0092] Furthermore, since the guide groove 113 is planar spiral, the rotational movement of the protrusion 210 relative to the guide groove 113 is restricted. Moreover, the forces of the third spring 134 and the first spring 224 are uniform. Therefore, without the application of external torque, the protrusion 210 cannot move radially relative to the first receiving cavity 110. Of course, in one scenario, the two axial rods 222 at their furthest points also abut against the telescopic elongated hole 211, thus also preventing the protrusion 210 from moving radially.

[0093] At this time, since the magnetic shielding plate 131 is located between the first magnetic attractor 121 and the second magnetic attractor 241, the magnetic attraction between them is significantly weakened or even eliminated, and the force exerted by the second spring 233 on the axially moving member 232 is greater than the magnetic attraction force. Under the action of the second spring 233, the axially moving member 232 and the limiting member 231 begin to move away from the cavity bottom wall 111, and the limiting part of the limiting member 231 can abut against the outer peripheral surface of the positioning member 221. The state at this time is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0094] Although the movement of the axially movable part away from the bottom wall 111 of the cavity also reduces the degree of stretching deformation of the second spring 233 and reduces the elastic force of the second spring 233, the presence of the magnetic shielding plate 131 will still maintain the state that the elastic force of the second spring 233 is greater than the magnetic attraction force on the second magnetic attractor 241.

[0095] When the humidity detector 200 needs to be removed, first rotate the rotating part 136, which in turn drives the winding part 135 to rotate, winding more of the traction part 132 onto the winding part 135, thereby driving the magnetic shielding moving block 133 to compress the third spring 134, moving the magnetic shielding plate 131 out of the anti-rotation groove 217. The magnetic shielding plate 131 is still located between the first magnetic suction part 121 and the second magnetic suction part 241, which plays the role of weakening the magnetic attraction force.

[0096] Then, the detector body 299 is rotated in the reverse direction, causing the protrusion 210 to rotate. Since the axial rod 222 is located in the telescopic elongated hole 211, it rotates together with the protrusion 210 and is guided by the planar spiral guide groove 113. As the protrusion 210 rotates, the axial rod 222 moves in the guide groove 113, and the two axial rods 222 also move towards the center of rotation along the planar spiral trajectory of the guide groove. This reduces the length of the positioning member 221 extending beyond the outer circumference of the protrusion 210 until the positioning member 221 exits from the positioning groove 114, releasing the axial positioning of the protrusion 210.

[0097] Continuing to rotate the detector body 299 in the reverse direction, the positioning member 221 continues to move into the second receiving cavity 213 until the limiting part aligns with the limiting recess 2211. The limiting part inserts into the limiting recess 2211, thereby achieving radial positioning of the positioning member 221. During the removal of the protrusion 210, the positioning member 221 will not extend outward again. At this point, the protrusion 210 can be removed from the first receiving cavity 110, achieving the purpose of disassembling the humidity sensor.

[0098] In summary, the humidity detector 200 can be installed and removed from the plate 100 simply by rotating the rotating component 136 and rotating the detector body 299 relative to the plate 100. This eliminates the need for multiple parts and tools such as screwdrivers and screws, greatly improving the convenience of installation and removal and increasing operational efficiency.
