[0031] Figures 1 to 6 The indoor unit and air conditioner provided by the present invention are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the indoor unit of the present invention includes an inner machine housing 100, a main control circuit board 200 and a power-off device 400. The main control circuit board 200 is arranged in the inner machine housing 100 and is electrically connected to the power supply 300; the power-off device 400 is arranged in the inner machine housing 100; wherein the power-off device 400 is used to disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 when there is water at the bottom of the inner machine housing 100.
[0032] During specific implementation, when there is water at the bottom of the inner casing 100, the circuit disconnection device can disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300. As a result, the wires and many electronic components at the bottom of the inner casing 100 are not charged. Therefore, even if the condensed water at the bottom of the inner casing 100 contacts the wires and electronic components, it will not cause leakage of the inner casing 100, thereby improving safety and avoiding unnecessary safety hazards. It can solve the technical problem of leakage of the inner casing 100 caused by water at the bottom of the inner casing 100 of the air conditioner contacting the charged wires and charged electronic components at the bottom of the inner casing 100 in the prior art.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the main control circuit board 200 can be arranged in the inner housing 100; the power supply 300 can be alternating current.
[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the power-off device 400 may include a driving unit 410 and a disconnecting unit 420, wherein the driving unit 410 is located inside the inner housing 100 and is connected to the bottom of the inner housing 100; the disconnecting unit 420 is disposed at the free end of the driving unit 410 and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300; wherein the driving unit 410 is used to drive the disconnecting unit 420 to move when water at the bottom of the inner housing 100 contacts the driving unit 410, so as to disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 through the disconnecting unit 420.
[0035] In a specific implementation, for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner machine casing 100. After the driving unit 410 contacts the condensed water, it can drive the disconnecting unit 420 to move, and the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 is disconnected by the disconnecting unit 420.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving unit 410 may include a limiting structure 411 and a water-swelling structure 412, the limiting structure 411 is connected to the bottom of the inner casing 100, and has a limiting channel 4111, the limiting channel 4111 extends from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411; the water-swelling structure 412 is arranged in the limiting channel 4111, and the shape of the water-swelling structure 412 matches the shape of the limiting channel 4111, and the disconnecting unit 420 is located at the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411 and is connected to the water-swelling structure 412; wherein the water-swelling structure 412 is used to drive the disconnecting unit 420 to move when the water at the bottom of the inner casing 100 contacts the water-swelling structure 412.
[0037] In specific implementation, for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner casing 100, and the water-swellable structure 412 will expand and increase in volume after contacting the condensed water. Due to the setting of the limiting channel 4111, the water-swellable structure 412 can move in the direction from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411 after expansion, and since the disconnection unit 420 is connected to the water-swellable structure 412, the water-swellable structure 412 will drive the disconnection unit 420 to move from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411, so as to disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 through the disconnection unit 420, and the water-swellable structure 412 drives the disconnection unit 420 by the characteristic of the water-swellable structure 412 swelling when exposed to water.
[0038] In addition, the limiting structure 411 can limit the position of the water-swellable structure 412 to prevent the water-swellable structure 412 from being blown away by the indoor fan.
[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting structure 411 can be extended vertically, the limiting channel 4111 can be extended vertically and pass through the two ends of the limiting structure 411, and the limiting structure 411 can be a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends; the water-swellable structure 412 can be extended vertically and pass through the limiting channel 4111, and the driving unit 410 can be a structural member made of water-swellable material, for example, the driving unit 410 can be a conventional water-swellable cotton.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting structure 411 and the connection end 4101 thereof have a water inlet 4110 that can communicate with the limiting channel 4111.
[0041] In a specific implementation, for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner machine casing 100, and the condensed water at the bottom of the inner machine casing 100 can enter the limiting channel 4111 through the water inlet 4110, thereby ensuring that the water-expandable structure 412 can quickly contact the condensed water and disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 at the first time.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the shape of the water inlet 4110 may be semicircular, and there may be two water inlets 4110 , which are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the limiting structure 411 .
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving unit 410 may further include a buffer structure 413 sandwiched between the water-swellable structure 412 and the disconnecting unit 420 .
[0044] In a specific implementation, for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner casing 100, and the water-swellable structure 412 will expand and increase in volume after contacting the condensed water. After expansion, the water-swellable structure 412 can move in the direction from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411, and since the disconnect unit 420 is connected to the water-swellable structure 412 through the buffer structure 413, the buffer structure 413 can buffer the force applied by the water-swellable structure 412 to the disconnect unit 420, so that the force applied to the disconnect unit 420 is relatively gentle, reducing the impact of the water-swellable structure 412 on the disconnect unit 420, thereby improving the durability of the disconnect unit 420.
[0045] like Figure 2As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the buffer structure 413 may include a connecting component 4131 and an elastic component 4132, the connecting component 4131 is sleeved on the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411, from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411; the elastic component 4132 is clamped between the connecting component 4131 and the disconnection unit 420.
[0046] In specific implementation, the connecting component 4131 serves to connect the elastic component 4132 and the water-swellable structure 412, so that the elastic component 4132 can be firmly connected to the water-swellable structure 412 through the connecting component 4131, that is, after the water-swellable structure 412 comes into contact with condensed water, it will expand and cause its volume to increase. After the expansion, the water-swellable structure 412 can move in the direction from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411. The movement of the water-swellable structure 412 will drive the connecting component 4131, the elastic component 4132 and the disconnecting unit 420 (the first conductive part 421) to move together in the direction from the connecting end 4101 of the limiting structure 411 to the free end 4102 of the limiting structure 411, so as to disconnect the connection between the main control circuit board 200 and the power supply 300 through the disconnecting unit 420.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic component 4132 can be a cylindrical helical compression spring arranged along the extension direction of the limiting channel 4111.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a fuse 500 is connected between the power supply 300 and the main control circuit board 200; the disconnect unit 420 is used to short-circuit the main control circuit board 200 when water at the bottom of the inner machine housing 100 contacts the connection end of the drive unit 410.
[0049] In a specific implementation, for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner machine housing 100, and the water at the bottom of the inner machine housing 100 will contact the driving unit 410. After the contact, the driving unit 410 will expand. As the volume of the driving unit 410 increases, the driving unit 410 can drive (or trigger) the disconnecting unit 420 to move, and the main control circuit board 200 is short-circuited through the disconnecting unit 420. After the main control circuit board 200 (or load) is short-circuited, since the power supply 300 does not pass through the load, the current in the circuit The resistance is small, while the current in the circuit is large. According to the characteristics of the fuse 500, when the current flowing through the fuse 500 abnormally increases to a certain height and temperature, the fuse 500 will melt, thereby cutting off the circuit, that is, the fuse 500 will melt after a short circuit, thereby disconnecting the main control circuit board 200 from the power supply 300; therefore, the wires and many electronic components at the bottom of the inner housing 100 are not energized, therefore, even if the condensed water at the bottom of the inner housing 100 contacts the wires and electronic components, it will not cause leakage of the inner housing 100, thereby improving safety and avoiding unnecessary safety hazards.
[0050] In this embodiment, the fuse 500 may be a recoverable fuse 500 (or may be called a resettable fuse 500 ).
[0051] In specific implementation, through the above-mentioned structural setting, after cleaning the moisture at the bottom of the inner casing 100, people do not need to manually connect the power supply 300 and the main control circuit board 200, which is convenient for maintenance.
[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the disconnect unit 420 may include a first conductive part 421 and a second conductive part 422; the first conductive part 421 is provided at the free end of the drive unit 410 (the upper end of the elastic component 4132), and is electrically connected to the live wire of the power supply 300; the second conductive part 422 is electrically connected to the neutral wire of the power supply 300, and has a gap with the first conductive part 421; wherein the drive unit 410 is used to drive the first conductive part 421 to abut against the second conductive part 422 when the water at the bottom of the inner housing 100 is in contact with the connection end (water-expandable structure 412) of the drive unit 410.
[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the air conditioner may include an electric control box, which is provided with a terminal row, the terminal row having a first terminal and a second terminal insulated from each other, the first terminal connected to the live wire of the power supply 300, and the second terminal connected to the neutral wire of the power supply 300; the first conductive part 421 can be connected to the upper end of the elastic component 4132, and the first conductive part 421 is connected to the live wire of the power supply 300 through the first terminal; the second conductive part 422 is located above the first conductive part 421, for example, the second conductive part 422 is located above the first conductive part 421, and is connected to the bottom of the inner machine casing 100 through the bracket 600, and is located above the first conductive part 421, and the second conductive part 422 is connected to the neutral wire of the power supply 300 through the second terminal; that is, the second conductive part 422 is located on the side of the first conductive part 421 away from the driving unit 410, and the second conductive part 422 is connected to the inner wall of the inner machine casing 100 through the bracket 600.
[0054] During specific implementation, under normal conditions, there is a gap between the first conductive portion 421 and the second conductive portion 422, that is, when there is no water at the bottom of the inner machine casing 100, the first conductive portion 421 and the second conductive portion 422 are not connected; for example, when the wind speed of the indoor fan is too fast, under the action of the indoor fan, the condensed water on the surface of the evaporator will be splashed to the bottom of the inner machine casing 100, and the water at the bottom of the inner machine casing 100 will contact the drive unit 410, and the drive unit 410 will expand after the contact. As the volume of the drive unit 410 increases, the expansion of the drive unit 410 can drive the first conductive portion 421 to move toward the second conductive portion 422, and move to abut the second conductive portion 422, thereby causing a short circuit in the main control circuit board 200, that is, disconnecting the unit 420. It is arranged in parallel with the main control circuit board 200. After a short circuit occurs in the main control circuit board 200 (or it can be called a load), since the power supply 300 does not pass through the load, the resistance in the circuit is small, while the current in the circuit is large. According to the characteristics of the fuse 500, when the current flowing through the fuse 500 abnormally increases to a certain height and temperature, the fuse 500 will melt, thereby cutting off the circuit. That is, if the fuse 500 melts, the main control circuit board 200 is disconnected from the power supply 300; thus, the wires and many electronic components at the bottom of the inner housing 100 are not energized. Therefore, even if the condensed water at the bottom of the inner housing 100 contacts the wires and electronic components, it will not cause leakage of the inner housing 100, thereby improving safety and avoiding unnecessary safety hazards.
[0055] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising the indoor unit of the above embodiment. The specific structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the air conditioner are the same as those of the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
