Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner mesh cover anti-detachment installation component and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Current air-conditioning outdoor units usually require a wire mesh cover to be installed outside the heat exchanger for protection. In order to facilitate the installation of the back wire mesh cover, some wire mesh covers are assembled to the outdoor unit with a latch-type fixed structure, and the latch structure is realized by plugging and matching the latch and the latch slot. Optionally, a latch is provided on the mesh cover and a latch slot is provided on the outdoor unit housing. Since the latch structure cannot completely fix the back wire mesh cover, the wire mesh cover is easy to fall out of the latch slot on the outdoor unit when the outdoor unit falls, etc., posing a quality risk. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is how to prevent the mesh cover from falling out of the latch slot on the external unit, thereby improving product quality.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0005] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air-conditioning mesh cover anti-detachment installation assembly, including a mesh cover body and an air-conditioning shell, the air-conditioning shell is provided with a side panel and an opening, the side panel is located on one side of the opening, a socket is convexly provided on the side panel, a slot is provided at the top of the socket, the mesh cover body is covered on the opening, and a plug rod is provided on one side edge of the mesh cover body, the plug rod is plugged into the slot, and a limit stop structure is also convexly provided on the side panel, the limit stop structure is arranged at intervals above the plug seat, and the limit stop structure is at least partially located at the axis of the slot, for limiting the plug rod to prevent the plug rod from falling out of the slot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] As disclosed in the background, prior art air conditioner outdoor units typically require a wire mesh cover to be installed on the outdoor unit housing. The wire mesh cover is typically secured to the right side panel using a latch mechanism. Specifically, the edge of the wire mesh cover is provided with a plug-in structure, while the right side panel is provided with a slot structure, allowing the wire mesh cover to be secured to the right side panel via a latch mechanism. However, research conducted during the invention revealed that, to facilitate latching, the right side panel in prior art typically lacks a retaining structure, and the latch mechanism itself is unable to fully secure the wire mesh cover at the back. Consequently, in the event of a fall, the wire mesh cover can easily slip out of the latch slot on the outdoor unit, potentially leading to product quality issues.

[0033] Furthermore, additional raised structures have been added to limit the position of the wire mesh cover. However, to facilitate insertion, the prior art typically offsets the raised structures from the slots. To insert the wire mesh cover, the rod must first be vertically inserted into the slot, and then the wire mesh cover must be rotated so that the horizontal portion of the rod is positioned below the raised structures, completing the position limit. This installation method undoubtedly places high demands on the wire mesh cover and is complex. Furthermore, since it requires a large rotational space, it is clearly not feasible for wire mesh covers with latches on both sides or when the installation space is limited.

[0034] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention provides an air conditioner mesh cover anti-slip mounting assembly and an air conditioner. These components prevent the mesh cover from slipping out of the latch structure on the outdoor unit, improving product quality. Furthermore, they are easy to install and require a simple installation process. They are also applicable to wire mesh covers with latch structures on both sides. To make the aforementioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] First embodiment

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an air conditioner mesh cover anti-detachment installation assembly 100, which can prevent the mesh cover from detaching from the latch structure on the external unit, thereby improving product quality. At the same time, it is easy to install, has a simple installation process, good applicability, and low installation requirements.

[0037] The air conditioning mesh cover anti-detachment installation assembly 100 provided in this embodiment includes a mesh cover body 110 and an air conditioning shell 130. The air conditioning shell 130 is provided with a side panel 150 and an opening 131. The side panel 150 is located on one side of the opening 131. A plug socket 170 is protruding from the side panel 150. A slot 171 is provided at the top of the plug socket 170. The mesh cover body 110 is covered on the opening 131, and a plug rod 190 is provided on one side edge of the mesh cover body 110. The plug rod 190 is plugged into the slot 171. A limit stop structure 180 is also protruding from the side panel 150. The limit stop structure 180 is arranged at intervals above the plug socket 170, and the limit stop structure 180 is at least partially located at the extension of the axis of the slot 171, which is used to limit the plug rod 190 to prevent the plug rod 190 from falling out of the slot 171.

[0038] In this embodiment, the air-conditioning shell 130 can be the shell of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The air-conditioning shell 130 is provided with an air outlet. The mesh cover body 110 is provided on the opening 131, and the mesh cover body 110 is a steel mesh cover with multiple horizontally and vertically staggered steel wires. The plug-in rod 190 is integrally provided on at least one side edge of the mesh cover body 110. The mesh cover body 110 is plugged into the socket 170 through the plug-in rod 190 to achieve installation.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a socket 170 is provided protruding from the side panel 150, and a slot 171 is provided at the top of the socket 170. A plug rod 190 is provided on a side edge of the grille body 110. The plug rod 190 is plugged into the slot 171, thereby achieving installation of the grille body 110. Furthermore, a stopper structure 180 is provided protruding from the side panel 150. The stopper structure 180 is provided above the socket 170 and is at least partially located at the extension of the axis of the slot 171. The stopper structure 180 is used to limit the position of the plug rod 190 to prevent it from falling out of the slot 171. In this embodiment, the additional stopper structure 180 is provided to limit the position of the plug rod 190, effectively preventing the plug rod 190 from falling out of the slot 171. This prevents the grille body 110 from falling out in the event of an accident such as the air conditioner falling, thereby ensuring the installation reliability of the grille body 110 and improving product quality.

[0040] In this embodiment, the plug rod 190 is also a steel wire structure and includes an integrally formed connecting portion 191 and a plug portion 193. The connecting portion 191 is disposed at the edge of the mesh cover body 110 and extends outward. The plug portion 193 is connected to the connecting portion 191 and is bent. Specifically, the connecting portion 191 is disposed horizontally, and the plug portion 193 is formed by bending the end of the connecting portion 191 downward after passing through a bend. The plug portion 193 is inserted into the slot 171, and the connecting portion 191 abuts the top end of the socket 170. The distance between the limit stop structure 180 and the socket 170 is less than the length of the plug portion 193 along the axis of the slot 171. Specifically, the connecting portion 191 and the plug-in portion 193 are integrally formed, with the connecting portion 191 arranged horizontally and the plug-in portion 193 arranged vertically. The slot 171 is also slotted vertically. During actual installation, the plug-in portion 193 is inserted vertically into the slot 171, thereby achieving installation of the grille body 110. The bent plug-in portion 193 is inserted into the slot 171, providing a better insertion effect. Furthermore, the distance between the limit stop structure 180 and the socket 170 is less than the length of the plug-in portion 193, thereby further preventing the plug-in portion 193 from being dislodged from the slot 171 and improving installation reliability.

[0041] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mesh cover body 110 is provided with a plurality of plug-in rods 190 on one side edge, and a plurality of plug-in sockets 170 are also provided on the side panel 150. The plurality of plug-in rods 190 are inserted into the plug-in sockets 170 in a one-to-one correspondence. Of course, the mesh cover body 110 can also be provided with plug-in rods 190 on both sides, and the side panel 150 and the edge of the opening 131 are provided with plug-in sockets 170. Both sides of the mesh cover body 110 are installed by means of the plug-in rods 190. Specifically, the side panel 150 can be provided on one side of the opening 131, and two plug-in rods 190 are provided on the corresponding side of the mesh cover body 110. Two plug-in sockets 170 are provided at intervals on the side panel 150. The mesh cover body 110 is installed by means of the cooperation between the two plug-in rods 190 and the two plug-in sockets 170.

[0042] In this embodiment, the limit stop structure 180 includes a connector 181. A mounting hole 151 is provided on the side panel 150. The connector 181 is detachably mounted in the mounting hole 151. A limit groove is formed between the connector 181 and the socket 170, and the connecting portion 191 is accommodated in the limit groove. Specifically, there can be two connectors 181, and the two connectors 181 are respectively arranged above the two sockets 170. The connector 181 is detachably mounted in the mounting hole 151 to form a limit structure, and the connecting portion 191 is accommodated in the limit groove, thereby ensuring a limit effect. At the same time, during installation, the connector 193 can be installed first, and then the connector 181 can be installed. This avoids the connector 181 from interfering with the connecting portion 191 and the connector 193, thereby facilitating installation.

[0043] Furthermore, connector 181 includes a connecting screw, the head of which protrudes from side panel 150. The base of the connecting screw is used to pass through mounting hole 151 and connect to the condenser located on the inner side of side panel 150, thereby fixing side panel 150 and condenser as a whole. By connecting the base of the connecting screw to both side panel 150 and condenser, the connecting screw serves as both a limiter and a connection, improving the overall installation reliability of the air conditioner, streamlining the number of connectors, and facilitating installation. The inner side of side panel 150 refers to the side of side panel 150 near the center of the air conditioner housing 130, i.e., the side on which the internal condenser is mounted.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the connection between the side panel 150 and the condenser can be achieved using only two connecting screws, thus eliminating the need for additional screws to secure the side panel 150. This saves costs and reduces the number of screws, facilitating assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the use of screws reduces the cost of adding a retaining structure to the external unit. Furthermore, the small size of the retaining structure has no impact on the installation of the wire mesh cover, thus not affecting production efficiency and having minimal impact on the overall appearance of the unit.

[0045] It is worth noting that the connecting screws in this embodiment can be conventional round cap screws, which are easy to disassemble and replace, and are screwed using a cross slot. Furthermore, after tightening, the height of the head of the connecting screw relative to the side panel 150 should be no less than the height of the axis of the slot 171 relative to the side panel 150 to ensure that the head of the connecting screw can effectively limit the connection portion 191.

[0046] In this embodiment, the width of the limiting groove is 1-3 times the width of the connecting portion 191. Preferably, the width of the limiting groove is 3 times the width of the connecting portion 191. Since the plug connector 181 is detachably assembled, the width of the limiting groove can be narrower, for example, 3 times the width of the connecting portion 191, thereby shortening the limiting stroke and ensuring a better limiting effect.

[0047] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the connecting screw can also be directly installed at the position where it abuts the connecting part 191, that is, the width of the limiting groove is the same as the width of the connecting part 191, so that after the installation is completed, the connecting screw can directly abut on the connecting part 191, thereby achieving a better limiting effect, and at this time, the plug-in part 193 can also be made shorter, which is easier to manufacture.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 151 is a waist-shaped hole, and the long axis of the waist-shaped hole is parallel to the axis of the slot 171. The waist-shaped mounting hole 151 allows the connector 181 to have a certain adjustment range in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the width of the limit slot to accommodate connector rods 190 of different widths and specifications, thereby improving its adaptability.

[0049] It should be noted that the axis of the slot 171 here extends through the center line of the connecting screw, so that the connecting screw can be directly above the socket 170, thereby achieving a better limiting effect. It can also make the connecting portion 191 shorter, which is more convenient for the installation of the mesh cover body 110.

[0050] In this embodiment, a hollow hole 153 is formed on the side panel 150, and the socket 170 is disposed on the hollow hole 153. The hollow hole 153 is connected to the slot 171, so that the plug portion 193 can extend into the hollow hole 153 during the plugging process. Specifically, the socket 170 can be formed by a stamping and hollowing process, and the slot 171 on the socket 170 is connected to the hollow hole 153. During the plugging process, the plug portion 193 can extend backward into the hollow hole 153, thereby facilitating plugging. By setting the hollow hole 153 here, on the one hand, the hollow hole 153 and the socket 170 can be directly formed simultaneously by the stamping process, simplifying the process flow; on the other hand, the plug-in part 193 can be extended into the hollow hole 153 during the plug-in process, thereby increasing the movable space of the plug-in part 193 during the plug-in process, avoiding the interference of the limit stop structure 180 on the plug-in part 193 and the connecting part 191 during the plug-in process, and facilitating the insertion of the plug-in part 193 into the slot 171.

[0051] In summary, this embodiment provides an air conditioner grille anti-detachment installation assembly 100. By providing a limit stop structure 180, the limit stop structure 180 includes a connector 181, which is a connecting screw. That is, the connector 181 is detachably inserted into the installation hole 151 through the connecting screw, and the head of the connecting screw is used to limit the plug rod 190, thereby preventing the plug rod 190 from escaping from the slot 171. In actual installation, the plug portion 193 can be installed first, and then the connector 181 can be installed. This avoids the connector 181 from causing installation interference with the connecting portion 191 and the plug portion 193, making installation easier. At the same time, there is no need to rotate the grille body, which makes it less demanding on the installation space and installation process, and is more conducive to convenient installation. In addition, the connecting screw also serves to connect the condenser, avoiding the need for additional side panel 150 fixing screws, saving costs, and reducing the number of screws, making disassembly and assembly easier.

[0052] Second embodiment

[0053] See also Figures 5 to 7 This embodiment provides an air conditioner mesh cover anti-detachment installation assembly 100, whose basic structure, principle and technical effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. For the sake of brief description, for parts not mentioned in this embodiment, please refer to the corresponding content in the first embodiment.

[0054] In this embodiment, the air conditioner mesh cover anti-detachment installation assembly 100 includes a mesh cover body 110 and an air conditioner shell 130. The air conditioner shell 130 is provided with a side panel 150 and an opening 131. The side panel 150 is located on one side of the opening 131. A socket 170 is protruding from the side panel 150. A slot 171 is provided at the top of the socket 170. The mesh cover body 110 is covered on the opening 131, and a plug rod 190 is provided on one side edge of the mesh cover body 110. The plug rod 190 is plugged into the slot 171. A limit stop structure 180 is also protruding from the side panel 150. The limit stop structure 180 is arranged at intervals above the socket 170, and the limit stop structure 180 is at least partially located at the extension of the axis of the slot 171, which is used to limit the plug rod 190 to prevent the plug rod 190 from falling out of the slot 171.

[0055] In this embodiment, a portion of the side panel 150 is recessed inward to form a mounting groove 183. The connector 170 protrudes from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 183. A stopper structure 180 is formed on the upper wall of the mounting groove 183. The connecting portion 191 is positioned between the upper wall of the mounting groove 183 and the connector 170. Specifically, the mounting groove 183 is rectangular and recessed inward. The connector 170 protrudes from the middle portion of the mounting groove 183. The partial recess forms the mounting groove 183, and the stopper structure 180 is formed by the upper wall of the mounting groove 183. This eliminates the need for an additional connector 181 or a stopper structure, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and saving costs.

[0056] It is worth noting that the mounting groove 183 here can be formed by stamping the edge of the side panel 150. The process is simple and a stop surface is formed at the edge boundary of the stamping without the need for an additional limiting structure, which further simplifies the process flow.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the slot 171 on the socket 170 is arranged in a vertical direction. The upper wall of the mounting groove 183 refers to the stop surface structure located above the socket 170, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 183 refers to the stamping plane, that is, the plane on which the socket 170 is located. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 183 is rectangular, thereby forming a rectangular stamping groove structure. Furthermore, to prevent interference between the plug rod 190 and the edge of the mounting groove 183, the mounting groove 183 is open on the side facing the opening 131, that is, the mounting groove 183 extends to the opening 131, thereby allowing the plug rod 190 to extend horizontally from the side of the opening 131 to the socket 170.

[0058] In this embodiment, the depth of the mounting groove 183 is 3-5 mm. Specifically, the position of the slot 171 is adapted to the depth of the mounting groove 183. After installation, the height of the axis of the slot 171 relative to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 183 is less than or equal to the depth of the mounting groove 183. This ensures that the connecting rod 190 directly contacts the upper wall of the mounting groove 183 during the removal process, thus acting as a stop.

[0059] In this embodiment, a hollow hole 153 is further defined on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 183. The connector seat 170 is disposed above the hollow hole 153. The hollow hole 153 is in communication with the slot 171, so that the plug portion 193 can extend into the hollow hole 153 during the insertion process. The provision of the hollow hole 153 allows, on the one hand, the hollow hole 153 and the connector seat 170 to be formed simultaneously by a stamping process, thus simplifying the process flow. On the other hand, the plug portion 193 can extend into the hollow hole 153 during the insertion process, thereby increasing the movable space of the plug portion 193 during the insertion process, preventing interference between the limit stop structure 180 and the plug portion 193 and the connecting portion 191 during the insertion process, and facilitating the insertion of the plug portion 193 into the slot 171.

[0060] In this embodiment, the plug rod 190 includes an integrally formed connecting portion 191 and a plug portion 193. The connecting portion 191 is disposed on the edge of the mesh cover body 110 and extends outward. The plug portion 193 is connected to the connecting portion 191 and is bent downward. The plug portion 193 is inserted into the slot 171. The connecting portion 191 abuts against the top end of the socket 170. The distance between the limit stop structure 180 and the socket 170 is less than the length of the plug portion 193 along the axis of the slot 171. Specifically, the distance between the upper wall of the mounting groove 183 and the socket 170 is less than the length of the plug portion 193, thereby preventing the plug portion 193 from falling out of the slot 171.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the plug-in portion 193 and the connecting portion 191 are both thin steel wire structures. In this embodiment, the aperture of the slot 171 needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the plug-in portion 193. During the plug-in process, the plug-in portion 193 needs to be inserted into the slot 171 tilted outward, so that the plug-in portion 193 can be easily inserted into the slot 171. In the event of the external unit falling, the plug-in portion 193 usually comes out along the axial direction of the slot 171, and it will naturally abut against the upper wall of the mounting groove 183, thereby achieving position limiting.

[0062] Of course, the distance between the upper wall of the mounting groove 183 and the socket 170 should not be too small. It can be specifically between 4-8 times the diameter of the connecting part 191, preferably 5 times the diameter of the connecting part 191. At the same time, the length of the plug-in part 193 can be 6 times the length of the connecting part 191, thereby preventing the plug-in part 193 from falling out of the plug-in slot and facilitating the plug-in installation of the plug-in part 193.

[0063] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, an elastic ring may be filled in the slot 171 to facilitate plugging. Specifically, during the plugging process, the plug-in portion 193 is pressed outward, causing the elastic ring in the slot 171 to deform outward. At this time, the plug-in portion 193 may continue to be inserted into the slot 171. When plugged into place, the plug-in portion 193 returns to a vertical state. At this time, the elastic ring also returns to its shape, squeezing the plug-in portion 193 inward so that the plug-in portion 193 and the connecting portion 191 correspond to the upper wall of the mounting groove 183 to prevent it from falling out.

[0064] The air conditioner grille anti-detachment mounting assembly 100 provided in this embodiment limits the plug-in rod 190 through the mounting groove 183. The process is simple and no additional limiting structure is required, thereby simplifying the preparation process and saving costs.
