[0048] Reference below Figures 1 - 16 The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure, low installation cost, and is easy to install and disassemble, which can save subsequent maintenance time and improve user experience.

[0049] like Figures 1 - 16As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a front frame 1, a mounting mechanism 2, and a panel 4.

[0050] The mounting mechanism 2 is movably mounted on the front frame 1. The mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a first rotational connection portion 211. The mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a locking member 3. The locking member 3 is provided with a first engaging portion 31. The panel 4 is provided with a second rotational connection portion 41 and a second engaging portion 42. The panel 4 is adapted to be rotatably inserted into the first rotational connection portion 211 at the second rotational connection portion 41 and is adapted to be engaged and locked with the first engaging portion 31 at the second engaging portion 42 after the rotational insertion. The locking member 3 is movable relative to the mounting mechanism 2 to selectively unlock the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 42.

[0051] Among them, the air conditioner 100, that is, an air conditioner, is a unit for providing processed air temperature changes in a spatial area (generally enclosed). The function of the air conditioner 100 is to adjust parameters such as the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and air flow rate of the air in a room (or enclosed space, area) by manufacturing cold air or hot air, etc., to meet the requirements of human comfort or technological processes.

[0052] Specifically, the air conditioner 100 is provided with a front frame 1, end caps 13, and a panel 4, etc., for installing the components required for the operation of the air conditioner 100, supporting and protecting the internal parts, and enabling installation with the outside world. The end caps 13 are provided in two, and the two end caps 13 are respectively installed on both sides of the front frame 1. The air conditioner 100 is also provided with a mounting mechanism 2. The mounting mechanism 2 is installed on the front frame 1 and is movable relative to the front frame 1. The mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a first rotational connection portion 211, and the panel 4 is provided with a second rotational connection portion 41. As Figure 2 and Figures 9 - 10 shown, the first rotational connection portion 211 can be set as a rotating shaft, and the second engaging portion 42 can be set as a rotating slot. The first rotational connection portion 211 can be rotatably inserted into the second rotational connection portion 41, that is, the first rotational connection portion 211 and the second rotational connection portion 41 can be set such that the first rotational connection portion 211 is rotatably inserted into the second rotational connection portion 41, or the second rotational connection portion 41 can be rotatably inserted into the first rotational connection portion 211, thereby enabling the panel 4 to be connected to the mounting mechanism 2.

[0053] Furthermore, the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a locking member 3. The locking member 3 is provided with a first engaging portion 31, and the panel 4 is provided with a second engaging portion 42. As Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the first clamping portion 31 can be set as a snap, and the second clamping portion 42 can be set as a clamping groove. In actual use, the first clamping portion 31 can also be set as a clamping protrusion, etc., and the second clamping portion 42 can also be set as a stop plane, etc. The first clamping portion 31 can be clamped and locked with the second clamping portion 42. That is, when the first rotating connection portion 211 of the installation mechanism 2 is rotationally inserted into the second rotating connection portion 41 of the panel 4, the first clamping portion 31 of the locking member 3 can be clamped and locked with the second clamping portion 42 of the panel 4, thereby making the panel 4 and the installation mechanism 2 relatively fixed. And the locking member 3 is movable relative to the installation mechanism 2, so that the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 42 are selectively locked. That is, when it is necessary to fix the panel 4 and the installation mechanism 2, the locking member 3 can be moved to lock the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 42, thereby making the panel 4 fixed relative to the installation mechanism 2. When it is necessary to separate the panel 4 and the installation mechanism 2, the locking member 3 can be moved to unlock the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 42, thereby making the panel 4 detachable relative to the installation mechanism 2, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, can save later maintenance time, and is easy to clean, and can improve the user experience.

[0054] For the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by rotationally inserting the first rotating connection portion 211 and the second rotating connection portion 41, and clamping and locking the first clamping portion 31 of the locking member 3 and the second clamping portion 42 of the panel 4, the panel 4 and the installation mechanism 2 are relatively fixed, and the installation mechanism 2 is movably installed on the face frame 1, and then the panel 4 is movably installed on the face frame 1. Its structure is simple, the setting cost is low, and it is convenient for installation and disassembly, can save later maintenance time, and can improve the user experience, with better use effect and wider application range.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes: an elastic member 32. The elastic member 32 is installed between the installation mechanism 2 and the locking member 3. The locking member 3 is adapted to move in a first direction to unlock the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 42, and the elastic member 32 is used to apply an elastic force in a second direction to the locking member 3, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the air conditioner 100 is further provided with an elastic member 32. The elastic member 32 can be set as a structure such as a spring, and the elastic member 32 is arranged between the installation mechanism 2 and the locking member 3. The elastic member 32 can apply an elastic force to the locking member 3, and this elastic force is opposite to the movement direction therebetween. That is, the movement direction of the locking member 3 is set as the first direction, and the acting direction of the elastic force is set as the second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0057] Further, when the panel 4 is connected to the mounting mechanism 2, the locking member 3 can be moved in the first direction, so that the first rotating connection portion 211 of the mounting mechanism 2 and the second rotating connection portion 41 of the panel 4 are rotationally inserted. Moreover, the elastic member 32 can apply an elastic force to the locking member 3 in the second direction, thereby pushing the locking member 3 to move in the opposite direction, so that the first engaging portion 31 of the locking member 3 and the second engaging portion 42 of the panel 4 are engaged and locked, thereby relatively fixing the panel 4 and the mounting mechanism 2. And when the panel 4 is separated from the mounting mechanism 2, a force in the first direction can be applied to the locking member 3 to make the locking member 3 move in the first direction until the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 42 are unlocked, so that the first rotating connection portion 211 of the mounting mechanism 2 and the second rotating connection portion 41 of the panel 4 are rotationally separated to separate the panel 4 from the mounting mechanism 2. And when the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 42 are unlocked, the locking member 3 can be reset in the second direction under the action of the elastic force, and the operation is convenient.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 2 is formed with a plugging space 212, and the locking member 3 is adapted to be slidably plugged into the plugging space 212. As Figures 8 - 10 shown, the locking member 3 is movably mounted on the mounting mechanism 2, and the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a plugging space 212. The shape of the plugging space 212 matches that of the locking member 3. The locking member 3 is mounted in the plugging space 212, and the locking member 3 can slide in the first direction and the second direction relative to the plugging space 212, so that the first engaging portion 31 of the locking member 3 can selectively lock or unlock with the second engaging portion 42 of the panel 4. And the plugging space 212 is arranged on the mounting mechanism 2. After the panel 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting mechanism 2, the panel 4 can shield the mounting mechanism 2 to improve the connection reliability.

[0059] In some embodiments, the locking member 3 is provided with a third engaging portion 33, and the mounting mechanism 2 is formed with a limiting stop surface 213. The third engaging portion 33 is adapted to be engaged and abutted against the limiting stop surface 213 in the second direction after the locking member 3 is plugged into the plugging space 212.

[0060] Specifically, the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with the locking member 3, so that the panel 4 and the mounting mechanism 2 can be relatively fixedly connected, and the locking member 3 is provided with a third engaging portion 33. As Figures 9 - 13As shown, the third engaging portion 33 can be set as a snap, and in actual use, the third engaging portion 33 can also be set as an engaging protrusion, etc. The third engaging portion 33 is provided at one end of the locking member 3 facing the insertion space 212. After the locking member 3 is inserted into the insertion space 212 of the mounting mechanism 2, the elastic member 32 can apply an elastic force to the locking member 3 in the second direction, thereby causing the locking member 3 to have a moving tendency in the second direction. And the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a limiting stop surface 213. When the elastic member 32 applies an elastic force to the locking member 3 in the second direction, the third engaging portion 33 can abut against the limiting stop surface 213 of the mounting mechanism 2, thereby avoiding the locking member 3 from disengaging from the insertion space 212 due to the elastic force applied by the elastic member 32 and improving the connection reliability.

[0061] In some embodiments, there are two third engaging portions 33, and the two third engaging portions 33 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking member 3.

[0062] Specifically, as Figures 11 - 12 shown, the locking member 3 is provided with third engaging portions 33. The third engaging portions 33 are provided at one end of the locking member 3 facing the insertion space 212, and there are two third engaging portions 33. The two third engaging portions 33 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking member 3. And the mounting mechanism 2 is also correspondingly provided with two limiting stop surfaces 213. The positions of the two limiting stop surfaces 213 correspond to the two third engaging portions 33, so that the two third engaging portions 33 can respectively abut against the two limiting stop surfaces 213. When the elastic member 32 applies an elastic force to the locking member 3 in the second direction, the two third engaging portions 33 can respectively abut against the two limiting stop surfaces 213 of the mounting mechanism 2, which can avoid the locking member 3 from disengaging from the insertion space 212 and improve the connection reliability. And when the third engaging portion 33 abuts against the limiting stop surface 213, the limiting stop surface 213 can apply a reaction force to the third engaging portion 33. The third engaging portions 33 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking member 3, so that the reaction forces received on both sides of the locking member 3 are the same, avoiding problems such as deformation and fracture caused by excessive force on one side of the locking member 3 and prolonging the service life of the locking member 3.

[0063] In some embodiments, the insertion space 212 has an open side, the open side is configured to open towards the outside of the face frame 1, the locking member 3 is configured as a locking spring buckle, and at least a part of the locking spring buckle is exposed towards the outside of the face frame 1 on the open side.

[0064] Specifically, as Figures 8 - 10As shown, the installation mechanism 2 is provided with an insertion space 212, and the locking member 3 is movably installed in the insertion space 212, and can slide along the first direction and the second direction relative to the insertion space 212, and the insertion space 212 is provided with an open side, and the open side of the insertion space 212 is set to be open toward the outside of the face frame 1, and the locking member 3 is set to be a locking spring buckle, and the locking spring buckle is locked or unlocked with the second clamping portion 42 of the panel 4, so that the panel 4 can be selectively connected to the installation mechanism 2, and the panel 4 is set on the side of the installation mechanism 2 away from the face frame 1, and at least a part of the locking spring buckle is set to be exposed on the open side toward the outside of the face frame 1, so that at least a part of the locking spring buckle can be locked or unlocked with the second clamping portion 42 of the panel 4, so that the panel 4 can be selectively connected to the installation mechanism 2, and the panel 4 can close the open side of the insertion space 212 to avoid accidental touch and the like, thereby improving the connection reliability.

[0065] In some embodiments, the elastic member 32 is constructed as a spring, one of the mounting mechanism 2 and the locking member 3 is provided with a first limiting column 214 and the other is provided with a limiting sleeve 34, the first limiting column 214 and the limiting sleeve 34 are distributed opposite each other along the second direction, one end of the spring is sleeved outside the limiting column and the other end extends into the limiting sleeve 34.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, an elastic member 32 is provided between the locking member 3 and the mounting mechanism 2, and the elastic member 32 can be set as a spring, and one of the mounting mechanism 2 and the locking member 3 is provided with a first limiting column 214 and the other is provided with a limiting sleeve 34, that is, the mounting mechanism 2 can be provided with a first limiting column 214 and the locking member 3 can be provided with a limiting sleeve 34, or the mounting mechanism 2 can be provided with a limiting sleeve 34 and the locking member 3 can be provided with a first limiting column 214. In this embodiment, the first limiting column 214 is provided on the mounting mechanism 2, and the limiting sleeve 3 4 is arranged on the locking member 3, one end of the spring is sleeved outside the limiting column, and the other end extends into the limiting sleeve 34, so that the first limiting column 214 and the limiting sleeve 34 can limit the spring, and the first limiting column 214 and the limiting sleeve 34 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, that is, the spring is extended along the second direction, so that the direction of the elastic force generated when the spring is reset is the second direction, and then the locking member 3 can move along the second direction under the elastic force of the elastic member 32, so that the elastic member 32 is reset, which is more convenient to use.

[0067] In some embodiments, a second limiting column 341 is disposed in the limiting sleeve 34, and the other end of the spring is sleeved outside the second limiting column 341. Figures 8 - 13As shown, the installation mechanism 2 is provided with a first limit post 214, the locking member 3 is provided with a limit sleeve 34, and a second limit post 341 is arranged inside the limit sleeve 34. One end of the spring is sleeved outside the first limit post 214, and the other end is sleeved outside the second limit post 341. The first limit post 214 and the second limit post 341 are distributed facing each other along the second direction, so that the locking member 3 can move along the second direction under the elastic force of the elastic member 32 to reset the elastic member 32, making it more convenient to use. One end of the spring is arranged between the limit sleeve 34 and the second limit post 341, that is, part of the spring is located between the limit sleeve 34 and the second limit post 341, which can limit and support the spring, avoid the situation that the middle part of the spring is bent due to being too long, improve the reliability and extend the service life of the spring.

[0068] In some embodiments, the front frame 1 is provided with a first stop portion 11, the locking member 3 is provided with a second stop portion 35, and the locking member 3 is arranged such that the second stop portion 35 abuts against the first stop portion 11 after the first engaging portion 31 is unlocked relative to the second engaging portion 42.

[0069] Specifically, the front frame 1 is provided with a first stop portion 11, and the insertion space 212 of the installation mechanism 2 is provided with a through hole 2121. The through hole 2121 is located on the side of the insertion space 212 away from the open side. The first stop portion 11 can partially extend into the through hole 2121. The locking member 3 is provided with a second stop portion 35. The part of the first stop portion 11 of the front frame 1 extending into the through hole 2121 can cooperate with the second stop portion 35 to abut against the first stop portion 11 after the first engaging portion 31 is unlocked relative to the second engaging portion 42, so as to limit the moving distance of the locking member 3 in the first direction, avoid applying too large a force to the elastic member 32, and extend the service life of the elastic member 32. And as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the first stop portion 11 can be set as a buckle, etc., and the second stop portion 35 can be set as a card slot, etc.

[0070] Wherein, the pressing direction of the second stop portion 35 and the first stop portion 11 is the direction of the rotation axis of the second rotation connection portion 41, that is, when the locking member 3 moves to the position where the first engaging portion 31 is unlocked from the second engaging portion 42, the first rotation connection portion 211 and the second rotation connection portion 41 can rotate relative to each other to separate the panel 4 from the installation mechanism 2. At this time, the second stop portion 35 and the first stop portion 11 can be pressed along the direction of the rotation axis of the second rotation connection portion 41 to prevent the locking member 3 from detaching from the installation mechanism 2 and ensure the reliability of the connection between the locking member 3 and the installation mechanism 2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 2 is further provided with a first plug-in positioning portion 215, and the panel 4 is provided with a second plug-in positioning portion 43. The panel 4 is adapted to be plug-in positioned with the first plug-in positioning portion 215 at the second plug-in positioning portion 43 after the second rotating connection portion 41 is rotationally plugged into the first rotating connection portion 211.

[0072] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 2 and Figures 8 - 9 shown, the mounting mechanism 2 is further provided with a first plug-in positioning portion 215, and the panel 4 is provided with a second plug-in positioning portion 43. One of the first plug-in positioning portion 215 and the second plug-in positioning portion 43 can be set as a plug-in slot, and the other can be set as a plug-in plate. That is, the first plug-in positioning portion 215 is set as a plug-in slot, and the second plug-in positioning portion 43 is set as a plug-in plate, or the first plug-in positioning portion 215 is set as a plug-in plate, and the second plug-in positioning portion 43 is set as a plug-in slot. In this embodiment, the first plug-in positioning portion 215 is set as a plug-in slot, the second plug-in positioning portion 43 is set as a plug-in plate, and the first plug-in positioning portion 215 and the second plug-in positioning portion 43 can be plug-in mated. That is, when the second rotating connection portion 41 is rotationally plugged into the first rotating connection portion 211, the second plug-in positioning portion 43 can be plug-in positioned with the first plug-in positioning portion 215, thereby fixing the panel 4 to the mounting mechanism 2, making the connection more accurate and saving installation time.

[0073] In some embodiments, both the second plug-in positioning portion 43 and the second clamping portion 42 are located on the same side of the rotation axis of the second rotating connection portion 41. As Figure 2 shown, the panel 4 is provided with a second plug-in positioning portion 43, a second clamping portion 42, and a second rotating connection portion 41. The second rotating connection portion 41 can be rotationally plugged into the first rotating connection portion 211 of the mounting mechanism 2. After the rotational plugging is completed, the second plug-in positioning portion 43 can be plug-in positioned with the first plug-in positioning portion 215, and the second clamping portion 42 can be locked with the first clamping portion 31, thereby fixing the panel 4 to the mounting mechanism 2. Setting both the second plug-in positioning portion 43 and the second clamping portion 42 on the same side of the rotation axis of the second rotating connection portion 41 facilitates the rotational plugging of the second rotating connection portion 41 and saves installation time.

[0074] In some embodiments, one of the first rotating connection portion 211 and the second rotating connection portion 41 is configured as a rotating shaft and the other is configured as having a rotating slot.

[0075] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figures 9 - 10As shown, one of the first rotating connection part 211 and the second rotating connection part 41 is configured as a rotating shaft and the other is configured to have a rotating slot, that is, the first rotating connection part 211 can be configured as a rotating shaft and the second rotating connection part 41 can be configured as a rotating slot, or the first rotating connection part 211 can be configured as a rotating slot and the second rotating connection part 41 can be configured as a rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the first rotating connection part 211 is configured as a rotating shaft and the second rotating connection part 41 is configured as a rotating slot.

[0076] Among them, the rotating slot is formed with an open mouth 411, and the rotating shaft is suitable for extending from the open mouth 411 into the rotating slot and can rotate relative to the rotating slot, that is, the second rotating connection part 41 is formed with an open mouth 411. When the panel 4 is connected to the installation mechanism 2, the rotating shaft can be placed in the rotating slot through the open mouth 411, and then the rotating shaft can be rotated relative to the rotating slot, so that the second plug-in positioning part 43 of the panel 4 is plugged and positioned with the first plug-in positioning part 215 of the installation mechanism 2, and the second clamping part 42 of the panel 4 is locked with the first clamping part 31 of the locking member 3, so that the panel 4 is fixedly connected to the installation mechanism 2, making the connection more convenient and saving installation time.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 2 includes a mechanism beam plate 21 and two connecting rods 22, the two connecting rods 22 are spaced apart and distributed between the mechanism beam plate 21 and the face frame 1, the two ends of each connecting rod 22 are rotatably connected to the mechanism beam plate 21 and the face frame 1 respectively, the mechanism beam plate 21 is provided with a first rotating connection portion 211, and the locking member 3 is movably mounted on the mechanism beam plate 21.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figures 14 - 15 As shown, the mounting mechanism 2 is movably connected to the face frame 1, and the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a mechanism beam plate 21 and two connecting rods 22. The mechanism beam plate 21 is provided as a plate-like structure, and a first rotating connection portion 211 is provided at one end of the mechanism beam plate 21. The first rotating connection portion 211 can be rotatably plugged with the second rotating connection portion 41. The mechanism beam plate 21 is provided with an insertion space 212. The locking member 3 can be installed in the insertion space 212, and can slide relative to the insertion space 212 along the first direction and the second direction.

[0079] Furthermore, one end of the two connecting rods 22 is rotatably connected to the side of the mechanism beam plate 21 facing away from the panel 4, the two connecting rods 22 are spaced apart and distributed between the mechanism beam plate 21 and the face frame 1, and the other ends of the two connecting rods 22 are rotatably connected to the face frame 1, so that the mechanism beam plate 21 can be movable relative to the face frame 1 through the two connecting rods 22, and when the face panel 4 is fixedly connected to the mechanism beam plate 21, the face panel 4 can be movable relative to the face frame 1 through the mounting mechanism 2, thereby improving the flexibility of use.

[0080] In some embodiments, one of the two connecting rods 22 is configured as a driving rod and the other is configured as a driven rod. The driving rod is power-connected to a driving member. One end of each of the two connecting rods 22 is rotatably connected to the side of the mechanism beam plate 21 facing away from the panel 4, and the other end of each of the two connecting rods 22 is rotatably connected to the face frame 1. One of the two connecting rods 22 is configured as a driving rod and the other is configured as a driven rod. The driving rod can be power-connected to a driver 55, and the driver 55 can be set as a driving motor or the like. Thus, the driving rod can be driven to rotate to drive the driven rod to move, so that the mechanism beam plate 21 can move relative to the face frame 1, meeting different functions of the air conditioner 100 and having a wider application range.

[0081] In some embodiments, the face frame 1 has an air outlet 12, and when the installation mechanism 2 moves relative to the face frame 1, it is adapted to drive the panel 4 to switch between multiple working positions. Among them, the panel 4 is used to close the air outlet 12 in at least one of the multiple working positions.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the face frame 1 is provided with an air outlet 12, and an air guide channel 57 is formed inside the air conditioner 100. Airflow can flow in the air guide channel 57, and the air guide channel 57 can limit the airflow direction so that the airflow flows toward the air outlet 12. An airflow driving member 52 for delivering airflow toward the air guide channel 57 is provided inside the air conditioner 100. The airflow driving member 52 can make the airflow be delivered toward the air guide channel 57 by rotation or the like, so that the flowing gas can be discharged from the air guide channel 57 to the air outlet 12 and then discharged to the outside through the air outlet 12. The air conditioner 100 is further provided with an air inlet grille 56 and a heat exchanger 54 to achieve functions such as cooling or heating of the air conditioner 100 to the outside.

[0083] Furthermore, when the installation mechanism 2 moves relative to the face frame 1, it is adapted to drive the panel 4 to switch between multiple working positions. As shown in FIG. Figure 14 At this time, the air conditioner 100 is in the shutdown state, and the panel 4 can be used to close the air outlet 12. As shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown, at this time, the air conditioner 100 is in the wind-free feeling mode. The driver 55 operates to drive the driving rod to move, and then drives the driven rod to move, so that the installation mechanism 2 drives the panel 4 to move relative to the face frame 1 to the first gear. The air deflector can deflect the airflow in the air guide channel 57 and guide the airflow to the panel 4. The panel 4 is provided with a plurality of micropores, and the micropores can disperse the airflow, thus avoiding direct blowing of the air flow and improving the user experience. The installation mechanism 2 can drive the panel 4 to move relative to the face frame 1 to the second gear, that is, the panel 4 moves to the position where the air outlet 12 is completely opened. At this time, the cooling mode and the heating mode of the air conditioner 100 can be realized through the air guiding member 51, and the panel 4 is further provided with a display board 53 to meet more usage requirements of users.
