Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to an indoor air conditioner unit and the air conditioner thereof. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the air conditioning industry, the placement of indoor air conditioning units has become increasingly diverse. Currently, a common feature in air conditioning indoor units is the float switch. This switch utilizes a magnetic float that rises or falls with the liquid level, triggering a reed switch chip inside a detection tube to activate and send an on / off signal. One or more reed switches are installed inside a sealed, non-magnetic tube. This tube passes through one or more hollow floats containing annular magnets. The rise or fall of the liquid causes the floats to move up and down, thus engaging or disengaging the reed switches within the tube, outputting a switch signal, also known as a passive contact signal. Common float switches are typically used in water tanks to control water levels, providing high or low level alarms. They can also be used in water dispensers, air conditioners, humidifiers, atomizers, and air compressors. However, float switches can be damaged during use, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner. Since the indoor unit is mounted on the ceiling, maintenance is inconvenient, and the complex structure of the indoor unit makes disassembly difficult, significantly impacting maintenance efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the present invention provides an indoor air conditioner unit and the air conditioner thereof, which solves the problem of inconvenient maintenance of float switches.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which is equipped with a float switch. The air conditioner indoor unit includes: a surrounding panel that surrounds the air conditioner indoor unit, and the surrounding panel has an inspection port that is disposed opposite to the float switch; the surrounding panel also includes: an inspection plate that detachably covers the inspection port; wherein, when the inspection plate is detached from the surrounding panel, the float switch can be repaired through the inspection port.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The indoor unit of the air conditioner is equipped with a float switch, and the enclosure is equipped with an inspection port. The inspection port is located opposite the float switch and is covered by an inspection plate. When the float switch needs to be repaired, the inspection plate is removed, and the maintenance personnel can observe the float switch through the inspection port and disassemble and repair the float switch through the inspection port without having to remove the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thus reducing the difficulty of maintenance and shortening the maintenance time.

[0006] Furthermore, the inspection plate also includes: a insert; a clamping piece, the clamping piece and the insert are located at the same end of the inspection plate, the insert can be inserted into the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit through the inspection port, and the insert and the side of the enclosure plate near the float switch abut against each other, the clamping piece and the insert cooperate with each other so that one end of the inspection plate is fixed at the inspection port.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: one end of the inspection plate is provided with a insert, which can abut against the side of the enclosure plate near the float switch, thereby fixing one end of the inspection plate at the inspection port. The fixing method is relatively simple and more convenient during disassembly and installation.

[0008] Furthermore, the insert and the inspection plate are integrally molded.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that the insert and the inspection plate are integrally formed, which improves the connection strength between the inspection plate and the insert.

[0010] Furthermore, the inspection plate includes: a fixed through hole, which is arranged opposite to the insert; wherein, the surrounding plate is provided with a threaded hole, which cooperates with the fixed through hole so that the other end of the inspection plate is fixed at the inspection port.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the inspection plate is provided with a fixed through hole, and the surrounding plate is provided with a threaded hole that matches the fixed through hole. The threaded hole coincides with the fixed through hole, so that the screw passes through the fixed through hole and engages with the thread in the threaded hole, thereby fixing the other end of the inspection plate. The screw fixing method is more convenient, and the manufacturing process is simpler when making the inspection plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the inspection plate also includes a handle, which is located on the side of the inspection plate away from the float switch.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the inspection plate is equipped with a handle, which allows operators to hold the handle, making it more convenient to disassemble and install the inspection plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the inspection plate also includes a sponge component, which is located on the side of the inspection plate near the float switch.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The inspection plate is equipped with a sponge component, which is located on the side of the inspection plate near the float switch. The sponge component can play a buffering role, reducing the noise generated by the indoor unit of the air conditioner during operation, thus improving the user experience.

[0016] Furthermore, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a buffer plate, which is located inside the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the air conditioner indoor unit is equipped with a buffer plate, which plays a buffering role, reducing the noise generated by the air conditioner indoor unit during operation, and making the user experience better.

[0018] Furthermore, the buffer plate is provided with an embedded opening to avoid the sponge component.

[0019] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the buffer plate is provided with an embedding opening, and when the inspection plate covers the inspection opening, the sponge can be embedded in the embedding opening on the buffer plate, preventing the sponge from interfering with the position of the buffer plate.

[0020] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The air conditioner provided by the present invention has the indoor unit of any technical solution of the present invention, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of any technical solution of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This invention provides an indoor air conditioner unit 100, which is equipped with a float switch 101, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner includes: a surrounding panel 110, which surrounds the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and has an access panel, which is disposed opposite to the float switch 101; the surrounding panel 110 also includes: a maintenance plate 112, which detachably covers the access panel, wherein when the maintenance plate 112 is detached from the surrounding panel 110, the float switch can be maintained through the access panel.

[0030] Specifically, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is equipped with a float switch 101, and the enclosure 110 is equipped with an inspection port. The inspection port is located opposite the float switch 101 and is covered by an inspection plate 112. When the float switch 101 needs to be repaired, the inspection plate 112 is removed. The maintenance personnel can observe the float switch 101 through the inspection port and disassemble and repair the float switch 101 through the inspection port without having to remove the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance and shortens the maintenance time.

[0031] Additional notes: The location of the access panel should be avoided from the air outlet of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, so as not to affect the air outlet performance of the indoor unit 100.

[0032] For example, the inspection plate 112 also includes: a insert 112a; a clamping piece 112e, the clamping piece 112e and the insert 112a being disposed at the same end of the inspection plate 112; wherein, the insert 112a can extend into the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 through the inspection port, and the insert 112a abuts against the side of the enclosure 110 near the float switch 101, the clamping piece 112e and the insert 112a cooperating with each other so that one end of the inspection plate 112 is fixed at the inspection port.

[0033] For example, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the inspection plate 112 includes a insert 112a and a clamping piece 112e. When the insert 112a abuts against the side of the inspection plate 110 near the float switch 101, the clamping piece 112e abuts against the side of the inspection plate 110 away from the float switch 101. The clamping piece 112e and the insert 112a cooperate with each other to fix one end of the inspection plate 112 at the inspection port.

[0034] Specifically, the insert 112a and the inspection plate 112 are integrally formed.

[0035] Specifically, the insert 112a is integrally formed with the inspection plate 112, which improves the connection strength between the inspection plate 112 and the insert 112a.

[0036] For example, the inspection plate 112 includes: a fixed through hole 112b, which is disposed opposite to the insert 112a; wherein, the surrounding plate 110 is provided with a threaded hole 113, which cooperates with the fixed through hole 112b so that the other end of the inspection plate 112 is fixed at the inspection port.

[0037] For example, see attached. Figure 2 As shown, the inspection plate 112 is provided with a fixing through hole 112b, which is opposite to the insert 112a. The surrounding plate 110 is provided with a threaded hole 113 that matches the fixing through hole 112b. The threaded hole 113 coincides with the fixing through hole 112b, so that the screw passes through the fixing through hole 112b and engages with the thread in the threaded hole 113, thereby fixing the other end of the inspection plate 112. The screw fixing method is more convenient, and the manufacturing process is simpler when making the inspection plate 112.

[0038] Specifically, the inspection plate 112 also includes a handle 112c, which is located on the side of the inspection plate 112 away from the float switch 101.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the inspection plate 112 has a handle 112c on the side away from the float switch 101, which makes it more convenient for the operator to hold the handle 112c when disassembling and installing the inspection plate.

[0040] For example, the inspection plate 112 also includes a sponge component 112d, which is located on the side of the inspection plate 112 near the float switch 101.

[0041] For example, see attached. Figure 5 As shown, the inspection plate 112 is provided with a sponge component 112d. The sponge component 112d is located on the side of the inspection plate 112 near the float switch 101. The sponge component 112d can play a buffering role, reducing the noise generated by the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner during operation, so as to make the user experience better.

[0042] Supplementary explanation, attached Figure 5 This is a partial schematic diagram of the inspection plate 112 fixed on the enclosure 110, which is observed from the inside of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to the outside of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0043] Specifically, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a buffer plate 102, which is located inside the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0044] Specifically, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is equipped with a buffer plate 102, which plays a buffering role, reducing the noise generated by the indoor unit 100 during operation and making the user experience better.

[0045] As a supplementary explanation, the buffer plate 102 is located inside the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and there is a gap between it and the surrounding plate 110. Therefore, when the clamping piece 112e and the insert piece 112a cooperate with each other, the insert piece 112a is located in the gap between the buffer plate 102 and the surrounding plate 110 to avoid positional interference.

[0046] For example, the buffer plate 102 is provided with an embedded opening 102a, which is used to avoid the sponge piece 112d.

[0047] For example, see attached. Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the buffer plate 102 is provided with an embedding opening 102a. When the inspection plate 112 covers the inspection opening, the sponge 112d can be embedded in the embedding opening 102a on the buffer plate 102 to prevent the sponge 112d from interfering with the position of the buffer plate 102.

[0048] As a supplementary explanation, the embedded opening 102a is an opening provided on the buffer plate 102, and the cut of the embedded opening 102a is a bevel to increase the sealing performance of the inspection plate 112 when covering the inspection opening.

[0049] The indoor air conditioner unit 100 provided by the present invention is installed on the indoor ceiling. Therefore, during maintenance, the maintenance personnel's perspective is from below. Thus, when looking from below, the float switch 101 can be observed through the inspection port.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
