[0002] An air conditioner consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is installed indoors, and the outdoor unit is installed outdoors. In existing technology, indoor units can be classified according to their installation method into floor-standing indoor units, wall-mounted indoor units, and ducted air conditioner indoor units. Among these, floor-standing indoor units have advantages such as large air volume and are widely used.
[0003] A floor-standing indoor unit includes a casing, an evaporator, and an indoor fan. The casing includes a body and a panel. The body has a cavity and an opening that connects to the cavity, allowing for the placement and removal of the evaporator and indoor fan. The evaporator and indoor fan are housed within the cavity, and the panel is used to block the opening. Existing technologies primarily employ two methods to block the opening: first, using fasteners; second, the panel is vertically rotatable to the casing via a hinge, and the panel has an open position and an open position, allowing it to switch between these positions.
[0004] However, if the first installation method is used, the fasteners need to be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled every time the casing is opened or closed, which is a time-consuming and laborious technical problem. If the second installation method is used, although it is convenient to disassemble and reassemble, in order to prevent the side edge of the panel from interfering with the edge of the opening during rotation, the hinge is usually installed on the outside of the casing. However, installing the hinge on the outside of the casing will expose the hinge to people's line of sight, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0033] Figures 1 to 8 The housing and the cabinet-type indoor unit provided by the present invention are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the housing of the cabinet-type indoor unit of the present invention includes a shell body 100, an opening and closing device 200, and a connecting device 300. The shell body 100 has a receiving cavity 101 and an opening 102 that can communicate with the receiving cavity 101. The opening and closing device 200 is movably connected to the shell body 100 through the connecting device 300, and the opening and closing device 200 is used to open and close the opening 102. The connecting device 300 is located in the receiving cavity 101 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed.
[0034] In practical implementation, the opening and closing device 200 is movably connected to the housing 100 via the connecting device 300, allowing people to freely open or close the housing without repeatedly disassembling and assembling fasteners. Furthermore, when the opening and closing device 200 is closed, that is, when the opening 102 is blocked, the connecting device 300 is located within the accommodating cavity 101. Thus, the connecting device 300 is hidden inside the housing and not exposed to people's view, which improves the user experience. In summary, through the above structural design, the present invention can solve the technical problem in the prior art where installing the panel at the opening 102 results in time-consuming and laborious disassembly and assembly, and affects the user experience.
[0035] It is understood that the present invention does not rely on complex hinges. Compared with hinges, the connecting device 300 has a simple structure, lower cost, and is convenient to manufacture.
[0036] It is also understandable that in the prior art, if the hinge is located inside the volume cavity, the side edge of the panel will interfere with the edge of the opening 102 during rotation.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the shell 100 may be hexahedral and hollow. The sidewalls of the shell 100 include a first side, a second side 110, a third side, a fourth side, a fifth side, and a sixth side. The opening 102 is located on the first side. The first side and the second side 110 are arranged opposite each other, and the third side and the fourth side are arranged opposite each other. The first side, the third side, the second side 110, and the fourth side are connected in sequence. The fifth side is located at the top of the shell 100, or may be called the top plate. The sixth side is located at the bottom of the shell 100, or may be called the bottom plate. The opening and closing device 200 may be plate-shaped and can cover the opening 102 to block (close) the opening 102.
[0038] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting device 300 may include a support unit 310 (or a rotating shaft seat) and a movable unit 320; the connecting device 300 includes a support unit 310 and a movable unit 320; the support unit 310 includes a first support component 311 and a second support component 312; the first support component 311 is located inside the receiving cavity 101 and has a first groove 3110; the second support component 312 is located outside the receiving cavity 101 and is connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 101 through the first support component 311, and has a second groove 3120 communicating with the first groove 3110, the second support component 312 being located inside the opening and closing device 200 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed; the movable unit 320 is disposed inside the opening and closing device 200 and can move within the first groove 3110 and the second groove 3120, the movable unit 320 being located within the first groove 3110 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support unit 310 can be L-shaped, that is, the first support component 311 and the second support component 312 can be strip-shaped, and the two are connected end to end to form an L-shaped support unit 310; the movable unit 320 is located in the second groove 3120 when the opening and closing device 200 is open, and can be movably connected to the groove wall of the second groove 3120 to adjust the size of the exposed opening 102.
[0040] In specific implementation, refer to the following steps: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when it is necessary to open the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved, for example, by pulling the opening and closing device 200 outward. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, therefore, as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can drive the moving unit 320 to move, and so on. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the first slot 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101) to the second slot 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the second slot 3120, it is movably connected to the wall of the second slot 3120. That is, when the movable unit 320 is located in the second slot 3120, its center of motion is located outside the housing 100. The size of the exposed opening 102 can be adjusted by moving (e.g., rotating) the movable unit 320 in the second slot 3120. (Refer to the diagram below.) Figure 8 and Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to close the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved (e.g., rotated). Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the movement of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to move in the second slot 3120. After the opening and closing device 200 moves (e.g., rotates) to align with the opening 102, the opening and closing device 200 is pushed inward, and so on, referring to... Figure 6 and Figure 5 As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the second slot 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101) to the first slot 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the first slot 3110, the opening and closing device 200 can close the housing. Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102.
[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the opening 102 is located on the side wall of the housing 100; the movable unit 320 is rotatably connected to the wall of the second groove 3120 in the vertical direction when the opening and closing device 200 is open.
[0042] In specific implementation, refer to the following steps: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when it is necessary to open the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved. For example, by pulling the opening and closing device 200 outward, since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the movement of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to move, and so on. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the first groove 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101) to the second groove 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the second groove 3120, the movable unit 320 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the second groove 3120. The size of the exposed opening 102 can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second groove 3120. Since the pivot of the movable unit 320 is located outside the housing 100 when the movable unit 320 is located in the second groove 3120, interference between the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102 can be prevented during rotation. (Refer to...) Figure 8 and Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to close the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be rotated. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the rotation of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to rotate in the second slot 3120. After the opening and closing device 200 rotates to align with the opening 102, the opening and closing device 200 is pushed inward, and so on, referring to... Figure 6 and Figure 5 As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the second slot 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101) to the first slot 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the first slot 3110, the opening and closing device 200 can close the housing. Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102.
[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the shell 100 may include a first side and a second side 110 disposed opposite to each other along a first direction F, with an opening 102 located on the first side; a first groove 3110 extending along the first direction F; and a movable unit 320 capable of sliding within the first groove 3110 and the second groove 3120.
[0044] In specific implementation, refer to the following steps: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when it is necessary to open the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved outward along the first direction F. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the movement of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to move, and so on. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable unit 320 slides from the first groove 3110 (inside the receiving cavity 101) to the second groove 3120 (outside the receiving cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the second groove 3120, the movable unit 320 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the second groove 3120. The size of the exposed opening 102 can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second groove 3120. Since the pivot of the movable unit 320 is located outside the housing 100 when the movable unit 320 is located in the second groove 3120, interference between the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102 can be prevented during rotation. (Refer to...) Figure 8 and Figure 6As shown, when it is necessary to close the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be rotated. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the rotation of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to rotate in the second slot 3120. After the opening and closing device 200 rotates to align with the opening 102, the opening and closing device 200 is pushed inward along the first direction F, causing the movable unit 320 to move from the second slot 3120 (outside the receiving cavity 101) to the first slot 3110 (inside the receiving cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the first slot 3110, the opening and closing device 200 can close the casing. Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second groove 3120 can be extended along the second direction S (e.g., laterally outward), and the second direction S is set at an angle θ (e.g., right angle) with the first direction F; the movable unit 320 is located at the free end of the second groove 3120 when the opening and closing device 200 is open.
[0046] In specific implementation, refer to the following steps: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when it is necessary to open the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved outward along the first direction F. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the movement of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to move, and so on. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the first groove 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101) to the connecting end (or the communicating end with the first groove 3110) of the second groove 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101). After the movable unit 320 moves to the connecting end of the second groove 3120, the opening and closing device 200 moves outward along the second direction S to the free end of the second groove 3120. Since the movable unit 320 can rotatably connect to the groove wall of the second groove 3120 when it is located at the free end of the second groove 3120, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the size of the opening 102 can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second slot 3120; that is, the opening degree can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second slot 3120. Since the pivot of the movable unit 320 is located outside the housing 100 when the movable unit 320 is in the second slot 3120, interference between the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102 during rotation can be prevented. Furthermore, since the free end of the second slot 3120 is far from the opening 102, the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 will not occupy the space at the opening 102. Referring sequentially... Figure 7 and Figure 6As shown, when it is necessary to close the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be rotated. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the rotation of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to rotate at the free end of the second slot 3120. After the opening and closing device 200 rotates to be parallel to the second side, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved inward along the second direction S to align the opening and closing device 200 with the opening 102, and so on, referring to the following... Figure 6 and Figure 5 As shown, after alignment, the movable unit 320 is slid from the second groove 3120 (outside the receiving cavity 101) to the first groove 3110 (inside the receiving cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the first groove 3110, the opening and closing device 200 can close the housing. Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102.
[0047] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that the movable unit 320 can rotate vertically at both the free end of the second slot 3120 and the connecting end of the second slot 3120; thus, the position of the rotating shaft of the movable unit 320 can be changed.
[0048] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the movable unit 320 may include a connecting arm 321 and a movable part 322; the movable part 322 is connected to the inner side of the opening and closing device 200 via the connecting arm 321, and the movable part 322 can slide within the first groove 3110 and the second groove 3120. When the opening and closing device 200 is closed, the movable part 322 is located within the first groove 3110. When the opening and closing device 200 is open, the movable part 322 is rotatably connected vertically to the groove wall of the second groove 3120.
[0049] In specific implementation, the connecting arm 321 can keep the side edge of the opening and closing device 200 away from the edge of the opening 102. That is, the side edge of the opening and closing device 200 is separated from the edge of the opening 102 by the connecting arm 321, which can ensure the smoothness of the opening and closing device 200 during rotation and prevent the side edge of the opening and closing device 200 from interfering with the edge of the opening 102 during rotation.
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting arm 321 may be strip-shaped, and the movable part 322 may be a rotating structure arranged vertically, such as a cylindrical structure arranged vertically.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner side of the opening and closing device 200 has a receiving cavity 210; the second support assembly 312 is located inside the opening and closing device 200 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed.
[0052] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural arrangement ensures that when the opening and closing device 200 is closed, there is no gap between the opening and closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102, so that the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102. That is, the opening and closing device 200 can be sealed to the edge of the opening 102, preventing interference between the inner side of the opening and closing device 200 and the second support component 312 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed.
[0053] In some embodiments, the casing of the cabinet-type indoor unit provided by the present invention may also include fasteners, which can connect the opening and closing device 200 and the casing 100 when the opening and closing device 200 is closed.
[0054] In specific implementation, refer to the following steps: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when it is necessary to open the casing, the fastener can be removed first, and then the opening and closing device 200 can be moved outward along the first direction F. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the movement of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to move, and so on, referring to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable unit 320 moves from the first groove 3110 (inside the accommodating cavity 101) to the connecting end (or the communicating end with the first groove 3110) of the second groove 3120 (outside the accommodating cavity 101). After the movable unit 320 moves to the connecting end of the second groove 3120, the opening and closing device 200 moves outward along the second direction S to the free end of the second groove 3120. Since the movable unit 320 can rotatably connect to the groove wall of the second groove 3120 when it is located at the free end of the second groove 3120, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the size of the opening 102 can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second slot 3120; that is, the opening degree can be adjusted by rotating the movable unit 320 in the second slot 3120. Since the pivot of the movable unit 320 is located outside the housing 100 when the movable unit 320 is in the second slot 3120, interference between the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102 during rotation can be prevented. Furthermore, since the free end of the second slot 3120 is far from the opening 102, the side edge of the opening / closing device 200 will not occupy the space at the opening 102. Referring sequentially... Figure 7 and Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to close the casing, the opening and closing device 200 can be rotated. Since the opening and closing device 200 is connected to the movable unit 320, the rotation of the opening and closing device 200 can drive the movable unit 320 to rotate at the free end of the second slot 3120. After the opening and closing device 200 rotates to be parallel to the second side, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved inward along the second direction S to align the opening and closing device 200 with the opening 102, and so on, referring to the following... Figure 6 and Figure 5As shown, after alignment, the movable unit 320 is slid from the second groove 3120 (outside the receiving cavity 101) to the first groove 3110 (inside the receiving cavity 101). When the movable unit 320 is located in the first groove 3110, the opening and closing device 200 can close the housing. Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing device 200 can block the opening 102.
[0055] In summary, the cabinet-type indoor unit casing provided by the present invention allows the opening and closing device 200 to perform both translational and rotational movements. By translating, the opening and closing device 200 can be moved away from the edge of the opening 102, avoiding interference between the side edge of the opening and closing device 200 and the edge of the opening 102 during rotation. The door (opening and closing device 200) can be opened by first translating and then rotating.
[0056] The present invention also provides a cabinet-type indoor unit, including the casing of the cabinet-type indoor unit of the above embodiments.
[0057] In practical implementation, the opening and closing device 200 is movably connected to the housing 100 via the connecting device 300, allowing people to freely open or close the housing without repeatedly disassembling and assembling fasteners. Furthermore, when the opening and closing device 200 is closed, that is, when the opening 102 is blocked, the connecting device 300 is located within the accommodating cavity 101. Thus, the connecting device 300 is hidden inside the housing and not exposed to people's view, which improves the user experience. In summary, through the above structural design, the present invention can solve the technical problem in the prior art where installing the panel at the opening 102 results in time-consuming and laborious disassembly and assembly, and affects the user experience.
