[0030] Compared with the prior art, by making the inclined surface of the first inclined block 15 slide relative to the inclined surface of the second inclined block 16, it is easy for the first inclined block 15 to move to the upper end of the second inclined block 16, and for the second inclined block 16 to block the first inclined block 15. The operator only needs to place the first inclined block 15 into the inside of the second groove 4 and then push it upward to fix the fan cover 6. The structure is simple, the fixing efficiency is high, and it is easy for users to use.

[0031] The unlocking assembly includes a rotating rod 10 corresponding to the side wall of the fan vent 3. Both ends of the side wall of the rotating rod 10 are rotatably connected to support blocks 9 for supporting the rotating rod 10. The lower end of the support block 9 is installed at the bottom of the air conditioner body 1. Both ends of the rotating rod 10 are equipped with bevel gears 8, and the bevel gears 8 on two adjacent rotating rods 10 mesh with each other. A pull rope 11 is installed on the side wall of the rotating rod 10 near the second moving plate 14. A connecting block 12 is installed at the end of the pull rope 11 away from the rotating rod 10. The connecting block 12 is installed at the upper end of the second moving plate 14. A drive assembly for easy operation by staff is provided at the lower end of the air conditioner body 1.

[0032] The drive assembly includes a gear 18, which is mounted on the side wall of one of the rotating rods 10. A first groove 2 is provided at the lower end of the air conditioner body 1 directly below the gear 18. A first sliding groove 23 is provided at the upper end of the first groove 2. A first moving plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first groove 2. A first slider 20 is installed at the upper end of the first moving plate 21 through the first sliding groove 23. A rack 19 that cooperates with the gear 18 is installed at the upper end of the first slider 20. The gear 18 and the rack 19 mesh with each other. A limiting frame 24 that cooperates with the first slider 20 is installed at the upper end of the first sliding groove 23. The first slider 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame 24. A first spring 22 for pushing the first moving plate 21 away from the gear 18 is installed on the side wall of the first moving plate 21 near the gear 18. The end of the first spring 22 away from the first moving plate 21 is installed on the inner wall of the first groove 2.

[0033] The lower end of the fan cover 6 is rotatably connected by a hinge to a handle 5 that facilitates the pulling of the fan cover 6 by the worker when removing it. The lower end of the fan cover 6 is equipped with a slot 7 for fixing the handle 5.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, the operator only needs to operate the first moving plate 21 with one hand to make the rack 19 drive the gear 18 to rotate. Under the action of the bevel gear, all the rotating rods 10 will rotate, so that the rotating rods 10 will pull the third moving plate 26 through the pull rope 11, connecting block 12, second moving plate 14 and second slider 25. The third moving plate 26 pulls the second inclined plate block 16 to disengage from the first inclined plate block 15. At this time, the operator's other hand can support the fan cover 6 to prevent the fan cover 6 from falling directly, realizing the quick removal of the fan cover 6. It can be operated by one person and is convenient for users.

[0035] Working principle: During installation, the operator aligns the fan cover 6 with the fan outlet 3 and the first inclined plate 15 with the second groove 4. Then, the fan cover 6 is pushed upward, which causes the first inclined plate 15 to move upward. The inclined plate of the first inclined plate 15 moves along the inclined plate of the second inclined plate 16. Under the action of the second spring 17, the first inclined plate 15 moves to the upper end of the second inclined plate 16, thus fixing the fan cover 6.

[0036] When removing the fan cover 6, the worker moves the first moving plate 21 and compresses the first spring 22. The first moving plate 21 drives the first slider 20 to move, the first slider 20 drives the rack 19 to move, the rack 19 drives the gear 18 to rotate, and the gear 18 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. Since the bevel gears 8 on the two adjacent rotating rods 10 mesh with each other, all the rotating rods 10 will rotate together. The rotating rod 10 pulls the pull rope 11, the pull rope 11 drives the connecting block 12 to move, the connecting block 12 drives the second moving plate 14 to move, the second moving plate 14 drives the second slider 25 to move, the second slider 25 drives the third moving plate 26 to move, and the third moving plate 26 drives the second inclined plate 16 to move and compresses the second spring 17, so that the second inclined plate 16 disengages from the first inclined plate 15. At this time, the worker's other hand can support the fan cover 6 to prevent the fan cover 6 from falling directly, thus achieving the rapid removal of the fan cover 6.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
