[0050] In combination Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the drawings, the up-down, left-right and front-rear directions in the embodiments are as shown in the drawings Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the arrows in the drawings all represent the direction of air flow, and the present disclosure provides a cover assembly for a ceiling type air conditioner. The cover assembly for the ceiling type air conditioner comprises a main shell 10, an air outlet assembly 20, an air inlet assembly 30 and a decorative plate assembly 40. The main shell 10 defines a containing cavity. The main shell 10 is adapted to be connected with the ceiling type air conditioner. The front side, rear side and bottom side of the main shell 10 are all provided with openings. The air outlet assembly 20 is provided on the opening of the main shell 10, and the air outlet assembly 20 is detachably connected with the main shell 10, so that air can flow out of the main shell 10 from the air outlet assembly. The air inlet assembly 30 is provided on the opening of the main shell 10, and the air inlet assembly 30 is detachably connected with the main shell 10, so that air can flow into the main shell 10 from the air inlet assembly 30. The decorative plate assembly 40 is provided on the opening of the main shell 10, and is detachably connected with the main shell 10. The air outlet assembly 20, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 together cover the opening of the main shell 10. The sizes of the air outlet assembly 20, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 are all the same, so that the air outlet assembly 20, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 can be replaced in position.

[0051] By adopting the present disclosure, the main shell 10 is provided and the containing cavity is defined in the main shell 10. The main shell 10 can wrap the ceiling type air conditioner, so that the ceiling type air conditioner is fixedly connected through the main shell 10. By providing openings on the front side, rear side and bottom side of the main shell 10, the air conditioner of various air inlet and outlet forms can be communicated with the outside when installed. By detachably connecting the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 with the main shell 10, and by using the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 to jointly close the opening, the decorative plate assembly 40 not only can close the opening of the main shell 10, but also can be integrated with the indoor decoration style, thereby enhancing the concealment of the equipment and not damaging the overall visual effect of the indoor. In this way, when the ceiling type air conditioner is installed, the air conditioner does not need to be installed in the interior of the ceiling to be shielded by the ceiling. When the air conditioner needs to be repaired due to problems, the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 can be directly disassembled, thereby facilitating the repair of the air conditioner.

[0052] By making the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30, and the decorative panel assembly 40 all of the same size, that is, the length and width of the air outlet assembly, the length and width of the air inlet assembly 30, and the length and width of the decorative panel assembly 40 are all the same, the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30, and the decorative panel assembly 40 can be flexibly interchanged. This feature greatly enhances the flexibility during installation and use, facilitates the rapid adjustment of the air outlet and air inlet positions according to actual site conditions during installation, and improves the adaptability and installation efficiency of the ducted air conditioner 60 in different building spaces.

[0053] Specifically, ceiling air conditioners are divided into bottom-in and bottom-out, side-in and bottom-out, and bottom-in and side-out according to the air inlet and outlet directions. When installing different ceiling air conditioners, the traditional installation method requires setting up different ceiling components, which is more complicated and has poor installation flexibility. This embodiment can install different types of ceiling air conditioners by flexibly adjusting the positions of the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative panel assembly 40.

[0054] For example, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, when a duct machine 60 with bottom inlet and double-side outlet is installed, the cover assembly for the ceiling air conditioner can be provided with two air outlet assemblies, and the two air outlet assembly covers are arranged on both sides of the main shell 10. The air inlet assembly 30 cover is arranged on the lower side of the main shell 10 and corresponds to the air intake of the duct machine 60, and the decorative panel assembly 40 covers the remaining opening of the main shell 10.

[0055] In this way, the cover assembly for the ceiling-mounted air conditioner can flexibly install the air outlet assembly, air inlet assembly 30 and decorative panel assembly 40 according to the specific air inlet and outlet forms of the air conditioner to be installed, thereby improving installation convenience.

[0056] In actual use, once a traditional ceiling-mounted air conditioner is installed, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner cannot be adjusted, and the effect of supplying air downward for heating and discharging air upward for cooling cannot be achieved. Specifically, when the air conditioner is installed in a ceiling-mounted system with bottom inlet and side outlet, when the air conditioner is heating, after the hot air is delivered to the side, according to the principle of thermal expansion, the hot air floats above the indoor space, and it is difficult for the hot air to reach the human activity area. Even if the wind direction is changed by the air guide plate 222, the hot air is difficult to reach the bottom of the air conditioner installation position, resulting in poor thermal comfort in the room. By adopting the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is only necessary to adjust the installation position of the air outlet assembly 20 from one side of the main shell 10 to the lower side of the main shell 10, that is, to swap the position of the air outlet assembly with the decorative panel assembly 40 on the lower side of the main shell 10, so as to achieve the effect of supplying air downward for heating and discharging air upward for cooling.

[0057] Optionally, the top wall of the main housing 10 is provided with screw holes, so that the main housing 10 is fixedly connected to a ceiling or a wall through the screw holes.

[0058] In this way, the main shell 10 is connected with the ceiling or wall, and the screw tightly connects the main shell 10 with the ceiling or wall, so that the main shell 10 is not easy to shake or move during use, and the stability of installation is ensured.

[0059] Optionally, the main shell 10 comprises a support framework 11 and an outer shell 12, the support framework 11 defines a containing cavity for containing and supporting the ceiling type air conditioner, air inlets are arranged on the lower side and the front and rear sides of the support framework 11, so that air flows into or out of the containing cavity through the air inlets, and the outer shell 12 is arranged on the support framework 11 and detachably connected with the support framework 11, and openings are arranged on the lower side and the front and rear sides of the outer shell 12.

[0060] In this way, the air inlets are arranged on the lower side and the front and rear sides of the support framework 11, so that air can smoothly flow into and out of the containing cavity, that is, the air inlet and outlet of the air conditioner are unobstructed. Moreover, the openings are arranged on the lower side and the front and rear sides of the outer shell 12, which are matched with the air inlets of the support framework 11, so that the main shell 10 can adapt to the installation requirements of different models and different air inlet and outlet modes of the ceiling type air conditioner, and the versatility of the main shell 10 is improved.

[0061] Optionally, the main shell 10 further comprises a blocking plate, the blocking plate is detachably connected with the support framework 11 and covers the air inlets.

[0062] In this way, the blocking plate can be installed or removed at any time, and specific air inlets can be opened or closed according to actual needs, so that the air path is flexibly adjusted. For example, when a certain air inlet does not need air inlet or air outlet, the blocking plate can be used to close it, so as to avoid invalid energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioning system. For different ceiling type air conditioners, the air duct layout needs to be adjusted. The use of the blocking plate enables the main shell 10 to adapt to different air inlet and outlet configuration requirements, without the need to replace the entire shell, but only to add or remove the blocking plate according to actual needs, so that the adaptability of the main shell 10 is greatly enhanced. Moreover, compared with the way of blocking the air outlet by using the air outlet assembly or the decorative plate assembly 40, the blocking effect is better, the invalid air supply can be reduced, the energy waste can be avoided, and the operation energy consumption of the air conditioning system can be reduced.

[0063] Optionally, the main shell 10 is provided with one of a magnetic attraction piece and a magnetic cooperation piece, and the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 are provided with the other one of the magnetic attraction piece and the magnetic cooperation piece, so that the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 can be magnetically attracted to the main shell 10.

[0064] With the embodiments of the present disclosure, the main shell 10, the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 are fixed by magnetic attraction and magnetic cooperation, which makes the connection between the assemblies more convenient and fast, without screws or other fasteners. The installer only needs to bring the corresponding assembly close to the main shell 10, and then the assemblies can be automatically attracted together, greatly simplifying the installation steps and required working hours. The magnetic design allows quick rearrangement or replacement of the positions of the air outlet, air inlet and decorative plate assemblies 40, increasing the flexibility of the system. Secondly, when the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, maintained or replaced, the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 are very easy to disassemble, without the need for special tools, reducing the difficulty and risk of maintenance. In addition, compared with traditional screw connection, magnetic connection will not cause wear of the surface of the shell or assembly due to frequent disassembly and assembly.

[0065] Optionally, the opening of the main shell 10 is provided with a stepped structure 51 along the arrangement direction of the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40, the stepped structure 51 is provided with one of the magnetic attraction and the magnetic cooperation, and the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 are each provided with a connecting structure 52 matched with the stepped structure 51, the connecting structure 52 is provided with the other one of the magnetic attraction and the magnetic cooperation.

[0066] In this way, by arranging the stepped structure 51 and the connecting structure 52 matched with the stepped structure 51, on the one hand, the positioning and connection can be facilitated, and the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30 and the decorative plate assembly 40 can be prevented from loosening or shifting during use, and on the other hand, the connection between the air outlet assembly, the air inlet assembly 30, the decorative plate assembly 40 and the main shell 10 can be made more flat and beautiful, avoiding the influence on the use effect due to the uneven connection.

[0067] Optionally, the air inlet assembly 30 is arranged at the opening corresponding to the air suction port 611 of the ceiling type air conditioner; wherein the air inlet assembly 30 comprises: an air inlet cover 31 and an air inlet grille 32, the air inlet cover 31 is provided with an air inlet; the air inlet grille 32 is arranged on the air inlet and connected with the air inlet cover 31.

[0068] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the air inlet assembly 30 and covering the air inlet assembly 30 at the opening corresponding to the air inlet 611 of the ceiling type air conditioner, it can be ensured that the air enters through the air inlet of the air inlet cover 31 and is filtered and guided through the air inlet grille 32, and finally reaches the air inlet of the ducted air conditioner 60. In this way, the air inlet flow can be balanced, the air flow path can be optimized, the air flow resistance can be reduced, and the air circulation efficiency can be improved. By setting the air inlet grille 32, the air inlet grille 32 can effectively prevent dust, insects or other foreign matter from entering the inside of the main shell 10, and protect the normal operation of the internal machine. At the same time, the air inlet grille 32 can also filter out larger particulate matter, and can remove some impurities and pollutants in the air, thereby improving the quality of the entering air and reducing the cleaning and maintenance frequency of the internal machine.

[0069] In combination with the embodiments shown in Figs. 1-3, optionally, the side wall of the air inlet is inclinedly arranged, and the flow area of the air inlet gradually decreases along the air circulation direction. Figure 6 Figure 7 In combination with the embodiments shown in Figs. 1-3, optionally, the side wall of the air inlet is inclinedly arranged, and the flow area of the air inlet gradually decreases along the air circulation direction.

[0070] In this way, by incliningly arranging the side wall of the air inlet, the air flow can be naturally guided, and the air can more smoothly enter the air inlet, avoiding air flow disorder or excessive resistance. At the same time, the gradually decreasing flow area of the air inlet along the air circulation direction helps to form a certain air acceleration effect, improves the air inlet efficiency, and effectively disperses the air flow impact and reduces the air inlet noise.

[0071] Optionally, the air inlet assembly 30 further comprises: a HEPA purification module 33 arranged at the air inlet and connected with the air inlet cover 31, the HEPA purification module 33 being used for purifying the air flowing through the air inlet; or, a fragrance module 34 arranged at the air inlet and connected with the air inlet cover 31, the fragrance module 34 being used for eliminating the odor of the air flowing through the air inlet.

[0072] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestment, also called high-efficiency air particulate filter) purification module, the HEPA purification module 33 can further filter out the tiny particulate matter in the air flowing through the air inlet, such as dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, etc., significantly improve the indoor air quality, and can reduce the dust and impurities accumulated in the internal machine, thereby prolonging the service life thereof. The fragrance module 34 can release pleasant fragrance, effectively neutralize or mask the bad smell in the air flowing through the air inlet, such as tobacco smell, cooking smell, etc., and improve the indoor air quality.

[0073] ​Optionally, the air inlet assembly 30 further comprises a telescopic assembly 35 and a telescopic motor 36. The first end of the telescopic assembly 35 is connected with the main shell 10, and the second end of the telescopic assembly 35 is connected with the air inlet grille 32 to open or close the opening of the air inlet cover 31. The telescopic motor 36 is arranged in the main shell 10 and is drivingly connected with the telescopic assembly 35. The telescopic motor 36 is used to drive the telescopic assembly 35 to drive the air inlet assembly 30 to telescope.

[0074] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the telescopic assembly 35 and the telescopic motor 36, the telescopic motor 36 drives the telescopic assembly 35 to automatically open or close the opening of the air inlet grille 32. By adjusting the telescopic assembly 35, the opening of the air inlet grille 32 can be accurately controlled to open or close, thereby optimizing the air circulation. When a larger air volume is needed, the opening can be opened; when it is necessary to reduce noise or prevent dust from entering, the opening can be closed. The telescopic motor 36 is drivingly connected with the telescopic assembly 35, and the opening and closing of the air inlet grille 32 can be realized by automatic control, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0075] Specifically, the telescopic assembly 35 comprises a transmission rod and a telescopic rod. The transmission rod is connected with the telescopic motor 36 through a gear and a rack. The transmission rod can move under the drive of the telescopic motor 36. The telescopic rod is arranged in the telescopic direction. The first end of the telescopic rod is connected with the transmission rod, and the second end of the telescopic rod is connected with the air inlet grille 32.

[0076] Optionally, the air outlet assembly 20 comprises a first air outlet assembly 21. The first air outlet assembly 21 comprises a first air outlet cover 211 and an air outlet grille 212.
