Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning, and more specifically, to an air conditioning panel support structure and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, split-type wall-mounted air conditioners are usually designed with an openable panel, which is used to remove and clean the filter, as well as for maintenance personnel to open the panel for wiring and maintenance.

[0003] To facilitate the opening and closing of the panel, a hinge is installed at the connection between the panel and the middle frame at the rear. The panel rotates around the hinge when it is opened or closed. When the panel is opened to a large angle, a corresponding support structure is required to fix the panel in place, so as to facilitate the operation of users and maintenance personnel.

[0004] Existing panel support structures typically fall into two categories:

[0005] The first type is as follows Figure 1 As shown in section A, the panel is fixed by the cooperation of the protrusion on the hinge shaft and the corresponding stop on the middle frame. This method has a simple structure with no extra parts, but because the support capacity is limited by the elastic deformation of the plastic alone, it is unreliable for fixing larger and heavier panels, posing a risk of the panel falling and causing injury to users and maintenance personnel. In addition, the opening angle of the panel is usually limited when using this structure, and the working space after the panel is opened is small.

[0006] The second type is as follows Figure 2 Part B and Figure 3 As shown in section C, a hidden support rod is designed on the middle frame. When the panel is opened, the support rod cooperates with the limiting structure on the panel to achieve support. This support method is simple and relatively reliable. However, the support rod needs to be fixed in place at the same time as the panel is opened, which increases the difficulty of operation. For larger panels, it cannot be completed by one person, and it brings trouble and risks to unfamiliar users. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The problem solved by this invention is that in the prior art, the air conditioner panel support structure has limited support capacity, is unreliable in fixing large and heavy panels, and poses a risk of the panel falling. In addition, the panel opening angle is limited, or the support rod support operation is difficult and cannot be completed by one person.

[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention discloses an air conditioner panel support structure disposed between the panel and the middle frame. The panel support structure includes a support rod and a fixed shaft. The support rod has an arc-shaped structure, and its center coincides with the rotation axis of the panel when it is opened and closed. The first end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the panel, and the fixed shaft is fixedly disposed on the middle frame. A main slide rail is provided on the support rod, and the main slide rail is configured to cooperate with the fixed shaft to limit the movement path of the support rod. A one-way locking structure and a reset structure are provided at the second end of the support rod. The one-way locking structure is used to cooperate with the fixed shaft to support the panel when it is opened, and the reset structure is used to return the fixed shaft, which is in a fixed state, to the main slide rail when the panel is closed.

[0009] During the panel opening process, the second end of the support rod gradually approaches the fixed shaft. When it reaches the maximum opening position, the fixed shaft directly enters the one-way locking structure from the main slide to form a fixed engagement. The support rod then supports the panel. Since the fixed shaft cannot return directly to the main slide through the one-way locking structure, the panel's own weight prevents the fixed shaft from returning to the main slide during the support rod's operation, ensuring the stability of the support structure and avoiding the risk of the panel falling. Furthermore, the reset structure ensures that when the panel needs to be closed, the fixed shaft first enters the reset structure and then the main slide. The support rod then moves along the fixed shaft's limit to close the panel. During closing, the support rod enters the empty space inside the middle frame through the hole where the fixed shaft is located, fully utilizing the existing space inside the middle frame. No additional storage space for the support structure is required. Because the support rod is stored inside the middle frame, its storage space is larger, and a longer support rod can be used to increase the panel's opening angle.

[0010] Furthermore, the one-way locking structure includes a locking groove and a first one-way locking part. The first one-way locking part is disposed between the main slide and the locking groove, and the first one-way locking part is a structure that allows one-way passage from the main slide to the locking groove.

[0011] Because of the first one-way locking part, the fixed shaft can only enter the locking groove from the main slide and cannot return directly from the locking groove to the main slide, thereby avoiding the situation where the panel support structure in the prior art falls off under the weight of the panel, and ensuring the stability of the support.

[0012] Furthermore, the reset structure includes a secondary slide rail and a first locking part and a second locking part. The first locking part is disposed between the locking groove and the secondary slide rail, and the second locking part is disposed between the secondary slide rail and the main slide rail.

[0013] When the panel needs to be closed, an external force is applied to the support rod near the second end, causing the second end of the support rod to displace. The fixed shaft enters the secondary slide through the first locking part. During the process of closing and pressing down the panel, as the support rod moves, the fixed shaft enters the main slide through the second locking part. The support rod moves along the route defined by the cooperation of the main slide and the fixed shaft, and gradually enters the storage space of the middle frame, thus completing the closing of the panel.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first and second locking parts are unidirectional locking parts. The first locking part is a unidirectional passage structure from the locking groove to the secondary slide, and the second locking part is a unidirectional passage structure from the secondary slide to the main slide.

[0015] With the above configuration, the three locking parts on the support rod are all one-way passage structures, which effectively limits the movement trajectory of the support rod during movement, avoids the fixed shaft from entering the secondary slide when the panel is opened, and ensures the stability of the panel support.

[0016] Furthermore, a first protrusion is provided between the main slide, the locking groove, and the secondary slide, and a second protrusion is provided on the side wall of the second end of the main slide. A first one-way locking part is formed between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. A third protrusion is provided between the second end of the locking groove and the second end of the secondary slide. A first locking part is formed between the first protrusion and the third protrusion, and a second locking part is formed between the first end of the first protrusion and the side wall of the first end of the secondary slide.

[0017] The three protrusions and the sidewalls of the main and secondary slides form three one-way snap-fit ​​parts on the support rod. This design is simple, requires no excessive connecting parts, helps to achieve one-piece molding of the support rod, greatly simplifies the production process of the support rod, and improves production efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, a bearing is fitted onto the fixed shaft, and the fixed shaft is slidably engaged with or fixedly engaged with the support rod through the bearing.

[0019] The bearing configuration improves the smoothness of the sliding between the main slide and the auxiliary slide and the fixed shaft, preventing jamming and improving the smoothness of opening and closing the panel.

[0020] Furthermore, a second circular buckle is provided near the first end of the support rod, and a first circular buckle is correspondingly provided on the panel. The first circular buckle and the second circular buckle cooperate to engage and fix the panel to the first end of the support rod.

[0021] The panel is connected to the first end of the support rod by a circular snap-fit ​​structure. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, and can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the product.

[0022] Furthermore, the main slide, the one-way locking structure, and the reset structure constitute a sliding assembly. Two sliding assemblies are provided on the same support rod, and the two sliding assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the support rod. Fixed shafts corresponding to each sliding assembly are provided on the middle frame, and a connecting reinforcing rib is provided between the two sliding assemblies.

[0023] With the above configuration, there are two sets of sliding components and fixed shafts on both sides of the support rod, which significantly increases the support effect of the support rod and ensures the support stability when the panel is opened.

[0024] Furthermore, the support rod is integrally injection molded from ABS material.

[0025] This structure can simplify the production process and improve production efficiency while ensuring the strength of the support rod.

[0026] The present invention also discloses an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising a panel and a middle frame, wherein at least one air conditioner panel support structure as described in any one of the claims is provided between the panel and the middle frame.

[0027] The advantages of the air conditioner and the air conditioner panel support structure mentioned above compared to the prior art are the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner panel support structure and the air conditioner having the same structure described in this invention have the following advantages:

[0029] This invention utilizes a one-way locking structure to ensure the stability of the support rod when the panel is open. The fixed shaft enters the locking groove from the main slide and is fixed in place, preventing it from directly returning to the main slide. This overcomes the risk of the panel falling off when supported, a problem common in existing technologies. A reset structure returns the fixed shaft from its locked position to the main slide, closing the panel. Furthermore, the movable second end of the support rod allows it to retract into the frame when the panel is closed, significantly increasing the possible length of the support rod and thus the panel's opening angle. The automatic locking groove and fixed shaft during panel opening allow for simple and convenient operation by a single person. This invention features a simple structure, ease of use, and significantly improved stability of the panel support structure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0045] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner panel support structure and an air conditioner having the same structure, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] This embodiment provides an air conditioner panel support structure, which is disposed between the panel 1 and the middle frame 2, such as... Figures 4-12As shown, the panel support structure includes a support rod 3 and a fixed shaft 4. The support rod 3 has an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the support rod 3 coincides with the rotation axis of the panel 1 when it is opened and closed. The first end of the support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the panel 1. The fixed shaft 4 is fixedly mounted on the middle frame 2. A main slide rail 32 is provided on the support rod 3. The main slide rail 32 is configured to cooperate with the fixed shaft 4 to limit the movement path of the support rod 3. A one-way locking structure 33 and a reset structure 34 are provided at the second end of the support rod 3. The one-way locking structure 33 is used to cooperate with the fixed shaft 4 to fix it so as to support the panel 1 when it is opened. The reset structure 34 is used to return the fixed shaft 4, which is in the locked state, to the main slide rail 32 when the panel 1 is closed. It should be noted that the one-way locking structure 33 refers to a situation where the fixed shaft 4 can directly enter the one-way locking structure 33 from the main slide rail 32 to form a fixed position. However, in the locked state, the fixed shaft 4 cannot directly enter the main slide rail 32 from the one-way locking structure 33. In this case, during the opening of the panel 1, the second end of the support rod 3 gradually approaches the fixed shaft 4. When it reaches the maximum opening position, the fixed shaft 4 directly enters the one-way locking structure 33 from the main slide rail 32 to form a fixed position. The support rod 3 then supports the panel 1. Since the fixed shaft 4 cannot directly return to the main slide rail 32 through the one-way locking structure 33, the weight of the panel 1 cannot be reduced during the process of the support rod 3 supporting the panel 1. The fixed shaft 4 returns to the main slide rail 32, ensuring the stability of the support structure and avoiding the risk of the panel 1 falling. The reset structure 34 ensures that when the panel 1 needs to be closed, the fixed shaft 4 first enters the reset structure 34 and then the main slide rail 32. The support rod 3 then moves along the limit of the fixed shaft 4 to close the panel 1. During the closing process, the support rod 3 enters the empty space inside the middle frame 2 through the hole where the fixed shaft 4 is located, making full use of the original space inside the middle frame 2. No additional storage space for the support structure is needed. Since the support rod 3 is stored inside the middle frame 2, its storage space is relatively large, and a longer support rod 3 can be used to increase the opening angle of the panel 1. It should be understood that during the opening or closing of panel 1 around the axis, the support rod 3 also rotates around the axis with panel 1 and slides relative to the fixed shaft 4. Since the center of the support rod 3 coincides with the axis of rotation when panel 1 is opened, and the distance between the fixed shaft 4 and the axis is fixed, there will be no interference between the fixed shaft 4 and the support rod 3 during the opening or closing of panel 1, ensuring that the support rod 3 can be opened or retracted smoothly during the opening of panel 1.In this embodiment, the second end of the support rod 3 is a movable end. When the panel 1 is opened, the support rod 3 slides outward under the constraint of the main slide rail 32 and the fixed shaft 4, that is, the second end moves outward. When the support rod 3 reaches the maximum support position, the fixed shaft 4 enters the one-way locking structure 33 and is fixed in place with the one-way locking structure 33. The movable end is fixed. At this time, applying downward pressure to the panel 1 cannot cause the fixed shaft 4 to disengage from the one-way locking structure 33. Therefore, during the operation of opening the panel 1, the panel 1 will not fall off, ensuring the support stability of the support structure. In this embodiment, when the position of the support rod 3 near the second end is subjected to external force, the second end is displaced, causing the fixed shaft 4 to enter the reset structure 34 and then return to the main slide rail 32 through the reset structure 34, thus realizing the closure of the panel 1.

[0048] In some optional examples, the reset structure 34 is located outside the one-way locking structure 33. "Outer side" refers to the radially outer side of the support rod 3. In this case, when the panel 1 is in the open support state, the reset structure 34 is closer to the operator, facilitating the operator's operation when it is necessary to close the panel 1.

[0049] As one of the optional examples, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the one-way locking structure 33 includes a locking groove 331 and a first one-way locking part 332. The first one-way locking part 332 is disposed between the main slide rail 32 and the locking groove 331, and the first one-way locking part 332 is a structure that allows one-way passage from the main slide rail 32 to the locking groove 331. When the panel 1 is opened, the fixed shaft 4 enters the locking groove 331 through the first one-way locking part 332 as shown in the figure. Figure 9 As shown, it should be understood that due to the setting of the first one-way snap-fit ​​part 332, the fixed shaft 4 can only enter the snap-fit ​​groove 331 from the main slide 32 and cannot return directly from the snap-fit ​​groove 331 to the main slide 32, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the panel support structure falls off under the weight of the panel 1, and ensuring the stability of the support.

[0050] As an example of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the reset structure 34 includes a secondary slide rail 341, a first locking portion 342, and a second locking portion 343. The first locking portion 342 is disposed between the locking groove 331 and the secondary slide rail 341, and the second locking portion 343 is disposed between the secondary slide rail 341 and the main slide rail 32. Figure 7 , Figures 10-12As shown, when panel 1 needs to be closed, an external force is applied to the support rod 3 near its second end, causing the second end of the support rod 3 to displace. The fixed shaft 4 enters the secondary slide rail 341 through the first engaging part 342. During the closing and pressing process of panel 1, as the support rod 3 moves, the fixed shaft 4 enters the main slide rail 32 through the second engaging part 343. The support rod 3 moves along the route defined by the cooperation of the main slide rail 32 and the fixed shaft 4, and gradually enters the storage space of the middle frame 2, completing the closing of panel 1. It should be noted that the second engaging part 343 is located between the first end of the secondary slide rail 341 and the main slide rail 32, and the first engaging part 342 is located near the second end of the secondary slide rail 341. The second engaging part 343 is closer to the first end of the support rod 3 than the first one-way engaging part 332. Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the fixed shaft 4 enters the main slide rail 32 after passing through the second engaging part 343, ensuring the smooth movement of the support rod 3. It should be noted that the applied external force can be perpendicular to the tangent at the point of application, so that the fixed shaft 4 can be moved from the locking groove 331 into the secondary slide 341 with a smaller force.

[0051] As a preferred example, both the first locking portion 342 and the second locking portion 343 are unidirectional locking portions. The first locking portion 342 is a unidirectional passage structure from the locking groove 331 to the secondary slide rail 341, and the second locking portion 343 is a unidirectional passage structure from the secondary slide rail 341 to the main slide rail 32. With this configuration, all three locking portions on the support rod 3 are unidirectional passage structures, effectively limiting the movement trajectory of the support rod 3 during movement and preventing the fixed shaft 4 from entering the secondary slide rail 341 when the panel 1 is opened, thus ensuring the stability of the panel support.

[0052] As an example of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, a first protrusion 35 is provided between the main slide rail 32, the locking groove 331, and the secondary slide rail 341. A second protrusion 36 is provided on the side wall of the second end of the main slide rail 32. A first one-way locking portion 332 is formed between the first protrusion 35 and the second protrusion 36. A third protrusion 37 is provided between the second end of the locking groove 331 and the second end of the secondary slide rail 341. A first locking portion 342 is formed between the first protrusion 35 and the third protrusion 37. A second locking portion 343 is formed between the first end of the first protrusion 35 and the side wall of the first end of the secondary slide rail 341. Through the above three protrusions and the side walls of the main slide rail 32 and the secondary slide rail 341, three one-way locking portions are formed on the support rod 3. This structure is simple, requires no excessive connecting parts, helps to achieve the integral molding of the support rod 3, greatly simplifies the manufacturing process of the support rod 3, and improves production efficiency. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first end refers to the end that is close to the panel 1 when the panel 1 is open, and the second end refers to the end that is far away from the panel 1 when the panel 1 is open.

[0053] Optionally, a bearing (not shown in the figure) is fitted onto the fixed shaft 4, and the fixed shaft 4 is slidably engaged with or fixedly engaged with the support rod 3 via the bearing. The bearing can improve the smoothness of the sliding of the main slide rail 32 and the secondary slide rail 341 relative to the fixed shaft 4, avoid jamming, and improve the smoothness of opening or closing the panel 1.

[0054] As an example of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second circular buckle 31 is provided near the first end of the support rod 3, and a first circular buckle 11 is correspondingly provided on the panel 1. The first circular buckle 11 and the second circular buckle 31 engage to securely connect the panel 1 and the first end of the support rod 3. The connection between the panel 1 and the first end of the support rod 3 is achieved through the engagement of the circular buckle structure. This structure is simple, easy to assemble, and can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the product. It should be understood that the method of fixing the first end of the support rod 3 to the panel 1 is not limited to the circular buckle described in this embodiment. Any existing method that can connect the support rod 3 and the panel 1 can be used in this invention, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0055] As an example of the present invention, the main slide rail 32, the one-way locking structure 33, and the reset structure 34 constitute a sliding assembly. Two sliding assemblies are provided on the same support rod 3, and the two sliding assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the support rod 3. A fixed shaft 4 corresponding to each sliding assembly is provided on the middle frame 2. Through the above arrangement, there are two sets of sliding assemblies and fixed shafts 4 cooperating on both sides of one support rod 3, which significantly increases the support effect of the support rod 3 and ensures the support stability when the panel 1 is opened.

[0056] Better, such as Figure 6 As shown, a connecting reinforcing rib 38 is provided between the two sliding fastening components. The connecting reinforcing rib 38 can significantly enhance the strength of the support rod 3, thereby improving its support stability for the panel 1. In this embodiment, the two sets of sliding fastening components are symmetrically arranged about the connecting reinforcing rib 38, and the first protrusion 35 is provided on the connecting reinforcing rib 38. This arrangement can significantly enhance the stability of the first protrusion 35, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support structure. On the other hand, the connecting reinforcing rib 38 forms the bottom of the main slide 32, the secondary slide 341, and the locking groove 331, thereby separating the two sets of sliding fastening components.

[0057] As an embodiment of the present invention, the support rod 3 is integrally injection molded from ABS material with a wall thickness of 1.5-2mm. This structure can simplify the production steps and improve the production efficiency while ensuring the strength of the support rod 3.

[0058] Optionally, the support rod 3 has a variable length. If the length of the support rod 3 is adjustable, this can be achieved through telescopic support rods 3 at both ends. This design effectively saves space inside the middle frame 2 while also meeting the requirement for the panel 1 to open at a large angle.

[0059] Example 2

[0061] It should be understood that the air conditioner panel support structure can be set only on one side of the air conditioner along its length, or it can be set on both sides to better ensure support stability. The specific setting position and number of the air conditioner panel support structure can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the air conditioner, and will not be limited here.

[0062] The advantages of the air conditioner and the air conditioner panel support structure described in Embodiment 1 compared to the prior art are the same, and will not be repeated here.
