[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, a housing assembly 100 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 110 and a rolling shutter structure 120 .
[0051] The shell 110 is formed with an air inlet 101, and the rolling shutter structure 120 is installed on the shell 110. The rolling shutter structure 120 includes a driving component 1, an active roller assembly 2, a driven roller assembly 3 and a rolling shutter body 41. The driving component 1 is connected to the active roller assembly 2 by power and is used to drive the active roller assembly 2 to rotate. The active roller assembly 2 is connected to the driven roller assembly 3 by power and rotates in opposite directions.
[0052] Among them, the air conditioner is an air conditioner, which is a unit used to provide air temperature changes in a space area (usually closed). The function of the air conditioner is to adjust the temperature, humidity, cleanliness and air flow rate of the air in the room (or closed space, area) by producing cold or hot air to meet the requirements of human comfort or process.
[0053] Specifically, the shell assembly 100 of the air conditioner is provided with a shell 110, which is arranged at the outermost side of the air conditioner and can support the air conditioner as a whole. An installation space is formed inside the shell 110, and the components required for the operation of the air conditioner can be installed in the installation space, and the shell 110 is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet connected to the installation space. Outside air can enter the air conditioner through the air inlet 101, and after being cooled or heated by the air conditioner, it is discharged from the air conditioner to the room through the air outlet, so that the indoor temperature can be adjusted to meet the different usage requirements of users.
[0054] Furthermore, the shell assembly 100 of the air conditioner is also provided with a roller shutter structure 120, which is installed on the shell 110, and the roller shutter structure 120 can be connected to the shell 110 by means of connectors or snap-on connections, which is convenient for installation and subsequent maintenance. The roller shutter structure 120 can be installed at the air inlet 101 of the shell 110, and the roller shutter structure 120 is provided with a roller shutter body 41, which can open or block the air inlet 101. When the air conditioner is in use, the roller shutter body 41 can open the air inlet 101, so that air can enter through the air inlet 101, and when the air conditioner is idle, the roller shutter body 41 can block the air inlet 101 to prevent dust and the like from entering the air conditioner through the air inlet 101, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner and thus improving the safety of the air conditioner.
[0055] The roller shutter structure 120 is also provided with a driving component 1, an active reel component 2 and a driven reel component 3. The driving component 1 is dynamically connected to the active reel component 2, that is, the driving component 1 can drive the active reel component 2 to rotate, and one end of the roller shutter body 41 is wound around the active reel component 2, so that when the driving component 1 drives the active reel component 2 to rotate, the active reel component 2 can drive the roller shutter body 41 to be retracted or unfolded relative to the active reel component 2, and the other end of the roller shutter body 41 can be driven by a connecting rope 6 between the active reel component 2 and the driven reel component 3, that is, one end of the connecting rope 6 is wound and connected to the active reel component 2, and the other end of the connecting rope 6 can be wound and connected to the driven reel component 3.
[0056] Among them, the active reel assembly 2 is dynamically connected to the driven reel assembly 3, and the active reel assembly 2 and the driven reel assembly 3 can rotate in opposite directions. When the active reel assembly 2 rotates in a clockwise direction, the driven reel assembly 3 can rotate in a counterclockwise direction. When the active reel assembly 2 rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the driven reel assembly 3 can rotate in a clockwise direction. At the same time, when the active reel assembly 2 and the driven reel assembly 3 rotate, the two ends of the connecting rope 6 can respectively perform relative winding motion with one of the active reel assembly 2 and the driven reel assembly 3, and perform relative unfolding motion with the other.
[0057] The other end of the roller shutter body 41 is connected to the connecting rope 6. A pull rod 42 is provided at the other end of the roller shutter body 41. The pull rod 42 is provided with an installation groove 421. The connecting rope 6 can be fixed in the installation groove 421, so that the connecting rope 6 can drive the other end of the roller shutter body 41 to move closer to or away from one end of the roller shutter body 41, so that the roller shutter body 41 opens or blocks the air inlet 101. Then, when one end of the roller shutter body 41 moves relative to the active roller shaft assembly 2, the other end can also move synchronously with the connecting rope 6, thereby ensuring the reliability of the synchronous movement of the two ends of the roller shutter body 41. The structure is simple, the space occupied is small, the weight can be improved, the production cost can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved.
[0058] According to the shell assembly 100 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, a roller shutter structure 120 is provided at the air inlet 101, and the roller shutter body 41 can open or cover the air inlet 101, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air outlet of the air conditioner and improving the safety of the use of the air conditioner. The roller shutter structure 120 has a simple structure and occupies a small space, which can reduce the overall volume of the air conditioner, thereby improving the lightweight design of the air conditioner, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and achieving better use effects and a wider range of applications.

Figure 7 As shown, the driving component 1 is provided with a driving member 11 and a driving gear 13. The driving member 11 can be set as a driving motor, etc. The driving member 11 is provided with an output end, and the output end can be constructed as an output shaft 12. The driving gear 13 can be sleeved on the output shaft 12. When the driving member 11 is operating, the output shaft 12 rotates, which can drive the driving gear 13 to rotate.

[0062] When the driving member 11 drives the driving gear 13 to rotate, the driving gear 13 can drive the driving gear 21 to rotate, and then drive the driven gear 31 to rotate through the driving gear 21, so that the driving member 11 can drive the driving reel assembly 2 and the driven reel assembly 3 to rotate, and the driving gear 13 and the driving gear 21 rotate in opposite directions, and the driving gear 21 and the driven gear 31 rotate in opposite directions, that is, Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the driving gear 13 rotates counterclockwise, the driving gear 21 rotates clockwise, and the driven gear 31 rotates counterclockwise. Fig.12 As shown, when the driving gear 13 rotates clockwise, the active gear 21 rotates counterclockwise, and the driven gear 31 rotates clockwise, so that the active reel assembly 2 and the driven reel assembly 3 can rotate in opposite directions to ensure operational reliability.
[0063] In some embodiments, the driving reel assembly 2 also includes a driving shaft 22, the driving gear 21 is sleeved outside the driving shaft 22, and a first accommodating groove 23 is formed outside the driving shaft 22 and distributed axially with the driving gear 21.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the active reel assembly 2 is provided with an active shaft 22, and the active gear 21 can be sleeved outside the end of the active shaft 22 and fixed relative to the active shaft 22 in the circumferential direction, so that when the active gear 21 rotates, the active shaft 22 can be driven to rotate, and a first accommodating groove 23 is also formed outside the active shaft 22. The first accommodating groove 23 and the active gear 21 are spaced apart and distributed in the axial direction, and the first accommodating groove 23 is arranged near the end of the active shaft 22. The first accommodating groove 23 is arranged as an annular groove extending in the circumferential direction, and the active shaft 22 is also formed with a first avoidance groove 221. The first avoidance groove 221 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the active shaft 22 and extends in the axial direction, and the first avoidance groove 221 is open at the end of the active shaft 22.
[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the driven reel assembly 3 is provided with a driven shaft 32, and the driven gear 31 can be sleeved outside the end of the driven shaft 32 and fixed circumferentially relative to the driven shaft 32, so that when the driven gear 31 rotates, it can drive the driven shaft 32 to rotate, and a second accommodating groove 33 is also formed outside the driven shaft 32. The second accommodating groove 33 is axially spaced apart from the driven gear 31, and the second accommodating groove 33 is arranged near the end of the driven shaft 32. The second accommodating groove 33 is arranged as an annular groove extending in the circumferential direction, and the driven shaft 32 is also formed with a second avoidance groove 321, the second avoidance groove 321 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the driven shaft 32 and extends in the axial direction, and the second avoidance groove 321 is open at the end of the driven shaft 32.
[0066] One end of the connecting rope 6 is fixed to the driving shaft 22 and is suitable for winding around the first receiving groove 23, and the other end of the connecting rope 6 is fixed to the driven shaft 32 and is suitable for winding around the second receiving groove 33. Figure 6As shown, both ends of the connecting rope 6 are provided with limit blocks 61, and the radial dimension of the limit blocks 61 is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting rope 6. One end of the connecting rope 6 can extend into the active shaft 22 through the first avoidance groove 221 and be limited by the limit block 61, so that one end of the connecting rope 6 is installed on the active shaft 22, and one end of the connecting rope 6 can be wound around the first accommodating groove 23, so that when the active shaft 22 rotates, the connecting rope 6 can only move in the first accommodating groove 23, thereby ensuring the winding reliability. The other end of the connecting rope 6 can extend into the driven shaft 32 through the second avoidance groove 321 and be limited by the limit block 61, so that the other end of the connecting rope 6 is installed on the driven shaft 32, and the other end of the connecting rope 6 can be wound around the second accommodating groove 33, so that when the driven shaft 32 rotates, the connecting rope 6 can only move in the second accommodating groove 33, thereby ensuring the winding reliability.

The supporting roller 7 is rotatable, and a limiting groove is formed on the supporting roller 7. The connecting rope 6 can be wound around the limiting groove of the supporting roller 7. The supporting roller 7 is arranged away from the active shaft 22 and the driven shaft 32, so that the two ends of the connecting rope 6 can move around the supporting roller 7 when they are retracted and released relative to the active shaft 22 and the driven shaft 32. The supporting roller 7 can rotate, thereby reducing the friction of the connecting rope 6 and extending the service life of the connecting rope 6. The connecting rope 6 can also change direction through the supporting roller 7 to ensure that the parts of the connecting rope 6 located on both sides of the supporting roller 7 are arranged in parallel, thereby ensuring the operational reliability of the connecting rope 6.

The first shielding member 24 can be constructed as an annular sheet structure, and the first shielding member 24 is radially protruding outward at the end of the driving shaft 22, that is, the radial dimension of the first shielding member 24 is larger than the radial dimension of the end of the driving shaft 22. A first accommodating groove 23 can be formed between the first shielding member 24 and the driving gear 21, that is, one end of the connecting rope 6 can be wound between the first shielding member 24 and the driving gear 21.

When the second connecting rope 6 is wound around the driven shaft 32, the second shielding member 34 can prevent the connecting rope 6 from escaping from the end of the driven shaft 32, thereby ensuring the reliability of the winding of the other end of the connecting rope 6.
[0071] In actual settings, the first shielding member 24 may be provided only at the end of the active shaft 22, the second shielding member 34 may be provided only at the end of the driven shaft 32, or the first shielding member 24 may be provided at the end of the active shaft 22.
