[0061] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0062] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0063] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0064] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner assembly 100 includes an air conditioner 1 and a face shield 2. The air conditioner 1 is adapted to be installed inside a cabinet 3 with a front opening. The face shield 2 is located in front of the air conditioner 1 and is adapted to cover the front opening of the cabinet 3. The air conditioner 1 has a vent 111 on its casing 11. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air conditioner 1 includes a purification component 12. The mask 2 has a ventilation area 211 that communicates with the vent 111. The mask 2 includes a mask body 21 and a shielding panel 22. The mask body 21 has a disassembly port 2131 suitable for disassembling and assembling the purification component 12. The shielding panel 22 is detachably connected to the mask body 21 or can be movably engaged to open or close the disassembly port 2131.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the mask 2 is divided into a mask body 21 and a shielding panel 22. The shielding panel 22 is detachably connected to the mask body 21 or can be movably fitted together. A disassembly / removal port 2131 suitable for disassembling and assembling the purification component 12 is provided on the mask body 21. Thus, the disassembly / removal port 2131 can be opened or closed by disassembling or installing the shielding panel 22. When the shielding panel 22 is removed from the mask body 21, the disassembly / removal port 2131 is opened, and the purification component 12 can be taken out through the disassembly / removal port 2131 for cleaning and replacement. When the shielding panel 22 is installed and fitted together with the mask body 21, the shielding panel 22 closes the disassembly / removal port 2131, thereby preventing the purification component 12 from being removed from the disassembly / removal port 2131.

[0066] In the above technical solution, by placing the air conditioner 1 inside the cabinet 3 with an open front side and using a face shield 2 to cover the open front side of the cabinet 3, the air conditioner 1 can be embedded inside the cabinet 3, reducing the additional space occupied by the air conditioner 1 and allowing it to better integrate with the home environment, improving the overall integrity and coordination of the home and appliances. Moreover, the air conditioner 1 is less prone to damage under the protection of the face shield 2. The face shield body 21 is provided with a disassembly port 2131 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the purification component 12. The shielding panel 22 is detachably connected to the face shield body 21 or can be moved and fitted together, so that when it is necessary to clean or replace the purification component 12, it is only necessary to open the shielding panel 22 and remove the purification component 12 through the disassembly port 2131 on the face shield body 21 for cleaning or replacement, without having to disassemble the entire face shield 2 of the air conditioner 1, which improves the maintenance efficiency of the purification component 12 and reduces maintenance costs and time costs. The ventilation area 211 on the face shield 2 is connected to the ventilation port 111 of the air conditioner 1, meeting the ventilation needs of the air conditioner 1.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the mask 2 is adapted to cover the front opening of the cabinet 3. "Adapted" means that the size, shape and other structural parameters of the mask 2 enable the mask 2 to cover the front opening of the cabinet 3. However, it does not mean that the mask 2 must be completely adapted to the front opening of the cabinet 3. It also includes the mask 2 having a certain gap with the front opening or exceeding the range of the front opening.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the air conditioner 1 has a vent 111 on its casing 11 and a ventilation area 211 on its mask 2 that communicates with the vent 111. The specific shape, size and layout of the vent 111 and the ventilation area 211 are not limited. For example, the vent 111 can be a regular circle, square, or rectangular shape, or it can be an irregular shape; the arrangement of the ventilation area 211 is not limited. For example, the ventilation area 211 can be a large opening, or it can be multiple openings, or it can be a perforated shape, a grille shape, etc. The connection between the vent 111 and the ventilation area 211 does not mean that the shape and area of ​​the vent 111 on the housing 11 and the ventilation area 211 on the mask 2 must be the same. It can be that the area of ​​the vent 111 is larger than that of the ventilation area 211, or the area of ​​the ventilation area 211 is larger than that of the vent 111, or the area of ​​the vent 111 is equal to that of the ventilation area 211; the connection between the vent 111 and the ventilation area 211 is not limited. It can be a direct connection, that is, the vent 111 and the ventilation area 211 are attached to each other front and back, or it can be an indirect connection. For example, the vent 111 and the ventilation area 211 can be connected through an air duct or the like.

[0069] In the embodiments of this application, the air conditioner 1 includes a purification component 12. The mask body 21 has a disassembly port 2131 suitable for disassembling and assembling the purification component 12. The specific form of the purification component 12 is not limited. For example, the purification component 12 can be a single filter or a purification module that includes multiple purification functions (such as filtration, odor removal, and formaldehyde removal). There can be one or more purification components 12. The size and shape of the disassembly port 2131 are not limited. For example, there can be one or more disassembly ports 2131. The number of disassembly ports 2131 can be the same as the number of purification components 12, so that they are respectively set.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21 are detachably connected or movably coupled. The detachable connection can be in the form of a snap-on connection, screw connection, magnetic connection, etc.; the movable coupling can be in the form of a hinge connection, sliding connection, etc. The appropriate connection method can be selected according to the product's usage environment and user needs.

[0071] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shielding panel 22 is located on the front side of the mask body 21 and is detachably connected to the mask body 21. Therefore, by placing the shielding panel 22 on the front side of the mask body 21, the shielding panel 22 can simultaneously block the disassembly port 2131 from the front when the disassembly port 2131 is closed. Moreover, placing the shielding panel 22 on the front side of the mask body 21 also facilitates the installation and removal of the shielding panel 22.

[0072] Furthermore, when the air purification component 12 inside the air conditioner 1 needs cleaning or replacement, the shielding panel 22, located on the front side of the cover body 21, provides ample operating space for maintenance personnel. This allows for easy removal of the shielding panel 22, and the air purification component 12 can be taken out through the disassembly port 2131 on the cover body 21 for cleaning or replacement, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving efficiency. If the shielding panel 22 or the cover body 21 is damaged, since they are detachably connected, the damaged part can be replaced individually without replacing the entire cover 2, thus reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, different styles or functions of the shielding panel 22 can be used to suit different usage scenarios, making the air conditioner 1 more harmonious with home furnishings and enhancing the user experience.

[0073] Of course, this application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments of this application, the shielding panel 22 can also be provided on the inner side (or rear side) of the mask body 21, which can also serve as the opening and closing port 2131.

[0074] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7 The face shield body 21 and the shielding panel 22 are magnetically attached. That is, the face shield body 21 and the shielding panel 22 are connected at least by magnetic attachment, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the face shield body 21 and the shielding panel 22. For example, when connected only by magnetic attachment, maintenance personnel do not need to use any tools; they only need to bring the shielding panel 22 close to the face shield body 21, and the magnetic attraction will allow for quick installation. During disassembly, only a certain external force needs to be applied to overcome the magnetic force to easily remove the shielding panel 22, improving the efficiency of maintenance and component replacement. For example, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the air conditioner 1 or replace the purification component 12, the purification component 12 can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0075] Furthermore, since magnetic attachment does not require mechanical locking or tightening operations like snap-fit ​​or bolt connections, it reduces wear on the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 during connection and disassembly, extending the service life of the components. Moreover, magnetic attachment eliminates the need for complex connection structures on the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, reducing the accumulation of dust and debris at the connection point 213, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and improving the overall product quality and user experience.

[0076] In the embodiments of this application, the magnetic attraction method is not limited. For example, it can be a magnetic attraction between a magnet and a magnetic material, or a magnetic attraction between magnets. In addition, the installation method of the magnet, magnetic material, etc. is not limited. It can be an embedded installation method, or it can be an installation method that is pasted on the surface of the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, etc.

[0077] For example, a magnet can be installed on one of the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, and a magnetic material can be installed on the other. The two are magnetically attracted to each other, thus connecting the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22. The structure is relatively simple, and the installation and disassembly operations are relatively convenient. For example, a magnet can be installed on the mask body 21, and a magnetic material (such as iron material) can be installed at a corresponding position on the shielding panel 22.

[0078] For example, magnets can also be installed on both the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22. The magnetic attraction between the magnets enhances the stability of the connection, thereby making the connection more secure and effectively resisting certain external interference, ensuring a stable fit between the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21.

[0079] Of course, multiple magnets or magnetic material mounting points can be evenly distributed on the contact surface between the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, and the connection can be achieved through the combined action of multiple magnetic points. It is worth noting that the magnets in this solution can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. When the magnet is an electromagnet, the magnetic force can be controlled by adjusting the current, thereby increasing the reliability of the magnetic attraction.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The shielding panel 22 is hooked to the face mask body 21. In other words, the shielding panel 22 and the face mask body 21 are connected at least by hooking, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the shielding panel 22 and the face mask body 21. For example, when connected only by hooking, maintenance personnel only need to align the hook with the hooking point and gently hook it on to complete the installation; during disassembly, they only need to forcefully pull the hook off the hooking point, improving installation and disassembly efficiency. Furthermore, the hooking structure is relatively stable and can withstand a certain amount of external force, which can improve the connection reliability between the shielding panel 22 and the face mask body 21.

[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the hook-and-hook engagement method is not limited. For example, depending on the form of the hook-and-hook part, a hook can be provided on one of the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, and a corresponding slot can be provided on the other; hooks can also be provided on the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 respectively, with the hooks in opposite directions, so as to achieve hook-and-hook engagement; hooks can also be provided on the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 respectively, and each hook can be provided with a slot, with the hook engaging with the corresponding slot, etc.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7The mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 are magnetically attached, and the shielding panel 22 is hooked to the mask body 21. Therefore, by combining magnetic attachment and hook-and-hook attachment, the installation and removal of the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21 are simple, improving the efficiency of maintenance and component replacement. For example, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the air conditioner 1 or replace the purification component 12, the purification component 12 can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0083] For example, the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 are connected only by magnetic attraction and hook engagement. In this way, compared with traditional connection methods such as buckles and bolts, magnetic attraction and hook engagement do not require complex mechanical locking or tightening operations, reducing wear on the mask body 21 and shielding panel 22 during connection and disassembly, and extending the service life of the components.

[0084] In the embodiments of this application, the order of magnetic attraction and hook engagement is not limited. For example, magnetic attraction can be used first to provide a certain adsorption force so that the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21 are initially attached, and then hook engagement can be used to further enhance the stability of the connection. Alternatively, hook engagement can be used first to provide initial fixation, and then magnetic attraction can be used to further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0085] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a magnet is embedded in the upper side of the mask body 21, and a magnetic material is provided at a corresponding position on the upper side of the shielding panel 22. The magnet and the magnetic material magnetically attract each other to achieve the installation and engagement of the upper side of the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22. A hook structure 223 is provided on the lower side of the shielding panel 22, and a hanging groove 215 is formed on the mask body 21 at the corresponding hook structure 223. The hook structure 223 and the hanging groove 215 hook each other to achieve the installation and engagement of the lower side of the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22. Thus, during installation, the shielding panel 22 can be lifted up first so that the hook structure 223 on the lower side hooks and engages with the hanging groove 215, thereby completing the lower side fixation. Then, the upper side of the shielding panel 22 is pushed so that the magnetic material on the shielding panel 22 engages with the magnet on the mask body 21, thereby completing the upper side fixation. Therefore, the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 are firmly installed and easy to disassemble, which facilitates the removal of the purification component 12 for cleaning or replacement without disassembling the air conditioner 1 and the mask 2 as a whole. This improves the maintenance efficiency of the purification component 12 and reduces maintenance costs and time costs.

[0086] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7The shielding panel 22 includes a panel body 221 and a reinforcing member 222. The panel body 221 is configured as an elongated strip extending vertically. The reinforcing member 222 is installed on the rear side of the panel body 221, and the vertical extension length L of the reinforcing member 222 is greater than half of the vertical extension length H of the panel body 221. The reinforcing member 222 is detachably connected to the mask body 21. For example, the vertical extension length L of the reinforcing member 222 can be 55%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc., of the vertical extension length H of the panel body 221.

[0087] In the above technical solution, by installing a reinforcing member 222 on the rear side of the panel body 221, and ensuring that the vertical extension length of the reinforcing member 222 is greater than half the vertical extension length of the panel body 221, the strength and rigidity of the shielding panel 22 in the vertical direction are effectively improved. When the shielding panel 22 is subjected to external force, the reinforcing member 222 can share some of the stress, reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the panel body 221 and extending the service life of the shielding panel 22.

[0088] In the above technical solution, the reinforcing member 222 is detachably connected to the mask body 21. The reinforcing member serves as the basis for the connection structure between the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21. It has high structural strength, which makes the connection between the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21 more secure. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the reinforcing member 222 and the mask body 21 also makes it easier to remove the shielding panel 22 from the mask body 21.

[0089] In the embodiments of this application, the reinforcing member 222 is detachably connected to the mask body 21, wherein the detachable connection can be in the form of a snap connection, a screw connection, a magnetic connection, etc.

[0090] In some embodiments, the reinforcing member 222 magnetically engages with the mask body 21. Thus, the reinforcing member 222 not only provides reinforcement but also serves as a magnetic connection, thereby simplifying the composition of the shielding panel 22. Furthermore, considering the vertical extension of the reinforcing member 222, when it magnetically engages with the mask body 21, the area available for magnetic engagement is relatively large, and the height of the magnetic engagement is highly selectable. This makes the connection between the shielding panel 22 and the mask body 21 more stable and reliable, reducing the possibility of the shielding panel 22 detaching due to external vibration or impact.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the shape and structure of the reinforcing member 222 are not limited. For example, the reinforcing member 222 can take various shapes such as flat plate, rib, frame, etc. For example, for a long panel body 221, a rib-shaped reinforcing member 222 can be used to increase its bending strength. The installation method of the reinforcing member 222 and the panel body 221 is not limited. For example, the reinforcing member 222 can be installed on the rear side of the panel body 221 by welding, screw connection, adhesive, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 The panel body 221 includes an outer panel 2211 and a raised structure 2212. The raised structure 2212 is connected to and hidden on the rear side of the outer panel 2211. A reinforcing member 222 covers the raised structure 2212 and is fixed to the raised structure 2212 by a first screw 2213 extending from the rear to the front.

[0093] In the above technical solution, the raised structure 2212 provides a stable installation foundation for fixing the reinforcing member 222. It eliminates the need to process the entire panel body 221 into a thicker form for connection, saving materials and reducing weight. Moreover, the reinforcing member 222 is covered by the raised structure 2212 and fixed by the first screw 2213, making the panel body 221 and the reinforcing member 222 tightly connected. This effectively improves the overall structural stability of the shielding panel 22, allowing the shielding panel 22 to withstand greater external forces without easily deforming or being damaged. It also avoids problems such as the raised structure 2212 separating from the reinforcing member 222 due to strong magnetic attraction. The use of the first screw 2213 to fix the reinforcing member 222 and the raised structure 2212 provides high connection strength and reliability, making the connection between the reinforcing member 222 and the raised structure 2212 firm and stable. Furthermore, the screw installation method extending from back to front allows the screw head to be hidden behind the reinforcing member 222, without affecting the appearance of the panel 2211. As the part directly exposed to the outside, the appearance panel 2211 is not affected by the protruding structure 2212 and the screw fixing, and can maintain a flat and smooth quality.

[0094] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7The face mask body 21 includes magnetic suction components 214 disposed on the left and right sides of the disassembly / removal port 2131. Each side has one or more magnetic suction components 214. The face mask body 21 magnetically engages with the shielding panel 22 via the magnetic suction components 214. In the above technical solution, by providing magnetic suction components 214 on the face mask body 21 for magnetic engagement with the shielding panel 22, the disassembly and reassembly of the shielding panel 22 becomes more convenient. The magnetic engagement between the face mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22 via the magnetic suction components 214 provides a certain degree of flexibility in the connection between the face mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, such as facilitating the replacement of the shielding panel 22.

[0095] For example, each side has multiple magnetic attachments 214 spaced apart in the vertical direction. This spacing provides a uniform magnetic force distribution, enhancing the connection stability between the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22. Compared to a single magnetic attachment point, this effectively prevents the shielding panel 22 from shaking or falling off during use, improving product reliability.

[0096] In the embodiments of this application, the arrangement of the magnetic components 214 is not limited. For example, multiple magnetic components 214 can be evenly spaced along the vertical direction on both sides of the disassembly / removal port 2131 of the mask body 21. This allows the magnetic attraction force to be evenly distributed at the connection between the mask body 21 and the shielding panel 22, improving the stability and reliability of the connection. Alternatively, multiple magnetic components 214 can be concentrated at specific positions on both sides of the disassembly / removal port 2131, such as the upper and lower ends or the middle part, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force in local areas, making the connection of the key reinforced parts more secure, and thus improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0097] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 The shielding panel 22 extends vertically along its length. The lower end of the shielding panel 22 has a hook structure 223 that extends backward and then downward. The mask body 21 has a hanging groove 215 at the corresponding hook structure 223. The hook structure 223 and the hanging groove 215 are hooked together.

[0098] In the above technical solution, the lower end of the shielding panel 22 has a hook structure 223 that extends backward and then downward, thus forming an L-shaped hook. During installation, simply lift the shielding panel 22, align the hook structure 223 with the hanging groove 215, and lower the shielding panel 22 to insert it, thus completing the connection between the hook structure 223 and the hanging groove 215. During disassembly, simply lift the shielding panel 22 upward to disengage the hook structure 223 from the hanging groove 215, and the shielding panel 22 can be removed. Therefore, the disassembly and installation of the shielding panel 22 are very simple, and the connection is firm, ensuring that the shielding panel 22 will not easily fall off during normal use. Furthermore, the shielding panel 22 is not prone to shifting back and forth relative to the mask body 1, and the stable fit between the two improves the structural stability of the mask 2. In addition, the hook structure 223 and the hanging groove 215 have simple structures, making them easy to manufacture and process. They do not require complex parts or complex assembly processes, reducing production costs and manufacturing difficulty.

[0099] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5 The disassembly port 2131 is located in the center of the mask body 21. Ventilation areas 211 are provided on the left and right sides of the disassembly port 2131, one of which is the air outlet area 2111, and the other is the air inlet area 2112. The ventilation vents 111 on the housing 11 include an air inlet 1112 that is located on the same side as and connected to the air inlet area 2112 (that is, when the air inlet area 2112 is located on the left side, the air inlet is...). The air inlet 1112 is also located on the left side of the housing 11; when the air inlet area 2112 is located on the right side, the air inlet 1112 is also located on the right side of the housing 11), and the air outlet 1111 is located on the same side as and connected to the air outlet area 2111 (that is, when the air outlet area 2111 is located on the left side, the air outlet 1111 is also located on the left side of the housing 11; when the air outlet area 2111 is located on the right side, the air outlet 1111 is also located on the right side of the housing 11).

[0100] In the above technical solution, since the air conditioner 1 needs to be embedded in the cabinet 3, the air outlet area 2111 and the air inlet area 2112 are both set on the front cover 2 of the air conditioner 1, which simplifies the design of the cabinet 3. Moreover, the disassembly port 2131 is set in the center of the cover body 21 between the air outlet area 2111 and the air inlet area 2112, which can maximize the distance between the air outlet area 2111 and the air inlet area 2112, thereby improving the problem of return air short circuit. Furthermore, since the air outlet area 2111 and the air inlet area 2112 are both set on the cover body 21, there is no need to open the air inlet area or air outlet area in other locations, making the use of the air conditioner component 100 more convenient.

[0101] In the embodiments of this application, the disassembly port 2131 is located in the center of the mask body 21, where "center" refers to the middle area of ​​the mask body 21, that is, the position near the center of the mask body 21 relative to the left edge of the mask body 21, or the position near the center of the mask body 21 relative to the right edge of the mask body 21. For example, the mask body 21 can be divided into three parts in the left and right direction, and the part located in the center can be the central area.

[0102] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mask 2 also includes an air outlet guide assembly 23a and an air inlet guide assembly 23b. The mask body 21 has a first rear groove 212a formed in the air outlet area 2111. The air outlet guide assembly 23a is installed on the mask body 21 and located in the first rear groove 212a. The mask body 21 has a second rear groove 212b formed in the air inlet area 2112. The air inlet guide assembly 23b is installed on the mask body 21 and located in the second rear groove 212b.

[0103] In the above technical solution, the air outlet guide component 23a and the air inlet guide component 23b can guide the flow direction of the airflow. For example, the air outlet guide component 23a can change the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 1, thereby increasing the coverage of the air outlet of the air conditioner 1. It can also direct the air outlet of the air conditioner 1 to a specific direction (suitable for scenarios where there are elderly people at home who are not suitable for blowing air, but young people need to blow air), thereby improving the flexibility of air supply.

[0104] By setting the first rear groove 212a and the second rear groove 212b, space is provided for the installation of the air outlet guide assembly 23a and the air inlet guide assembly 23b, so that the air outlet guide assembly 23a and the air inlet guide assembly 23b can be tightly combined with the mask body 21, improving the structural compactness, reducing the space occupied by the air outlet guide assembly 23a and the air inlet guide assembly 23b outside the mask body 21, and to a certain extent protecting the air outlet guide assembly 23a and the air inlet guide assembly 23b.

[0105] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8The exhaust air guide component 23a and the inlet air guide component 23b have the same structure but are arranged upside down. That is, rotating the exhaust air guide component 23a 180° yields the inlet air guide component 23b. Therefore, the exhaust air guide component 23a and the inlet air guide component 23b can be interchanged by inverting them, eliminating the need for installers to distinguish between them, reducing installation difficulty and error rate, and improving installation efficiency. Since the exhaust air guide component 23a and the inlet air guide component 23b have the same structure, they can be manufactured using the same mold, improving the versatility and standardization of the air guide component 23, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. The exhaust air guide plate 231 and the inlet air guide plate 231 are also interchangeable, improving assembly efficiency.

[0106] In the embodiments of this application, "upside down setting" means that the air inlet guide component 23b is flipped in the vertical direction relative to the air outlet guide component 23a in terms of spatial position. If viewed from a unified reference direction (such as vertically upward as the positive direction), the air inlet guide component 23b is installed in the normal direction, while the air outlet guide component 23a is installed after being flipped. That is, the air outlet guide component 23a is obtained by flipping the air inlet guide component 23b 180° in the vertical direction.

[0107] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mask 2 also includes an air guide assembly 23. The mask body 21 has a rear groove 212 formed in the ventilation area 211. The air guide assembly 23 is installed on the mask body 21 and located in the rear groove 212. The air guide assembly 23 includes an air guide plate 231 with the rotation axis vertically arranged. There are multiple air guide plates 231 arranged in the left-right direction.

[0108] For example, the rear groove 212 may include the first rear groove 212a mentioned above. In this case, the air guide assembly 23 may include the air outlet guide assembly 23a located in the first rear groove 212a.

[0109] For example, the rear recess 212 may include the aforementioned second rear recess 212b. In this case, the air guide assembly 23 may include the air inlet guide assembly 23b located in the second rear recess 212b.

[0110] In the above technical solution, by setting an air guide component 23, which includes an air guide plate 231 with a vertically oriented rotation axis, the air guide component 23 can swing left and right to change the air intake and exhaust direction of the air conditioner 1, thereby improving the coverage range of the air intake and exhaust of the air conditioner 1. For example, the air outlet of the air conditioner 1 can also be directed to a specific direction (suitable for scenarios where there are elderly people at home who are not suitable for direct airflow but young people need it), thereby improving the flexibility of air supply and the user experience; multiple air guide plates 231 arranged in the left and right direction can rectify the air intake and exhaust effect.

[0111] The air guide assembly 23 is installed in the rear recess 212, which provides space for its installation, allowing it to fit tightly against the mask body 21, improving structural compactness and reducing the space occupied by the air guide assembly 23 outside the mask body 21. Furthermore, the rear recess 212 provides some protection for the air guide assembly 23, reducing direct impact from external objects and extending its service life.

[0112] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 The air guide plate 231 includes an outer plate 2311, an inner plate 2312, and a horizontal plate 2313. The outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 are connected by a plurality of horizontal plates 2313 spaced apart in the vertical direction. Figure 2 and Figure 8 The rear groove 212 is provided with a plurality of horizontal ribs 2121 that participate in defining the ventilation area 211 and are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The horizontal plate 2313 and the horizontal ribs 2121 are positioned corresponding in the vertical direction.

[0113] For example, the rear groove 212 may include the aforementioned first rear groove 212a. In this case, the air guide assembly 23 may include an air outlet guide assembly 23a located in the first rear groove 212a. The air outlet guide assembly 23a may include an outer plate 2311, an inner plate 2312, and a horizontal plate 2313. The outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 are connected by a plurality of horizontal plates 2313 spaced apart in the vertical direction. A plurality of horizontal ribs 2121 spaced apart in the vertical direction are provided at the first rear groove 212a. The horizontal plates 2313 and the horizontal ribs 2121 are corresponding in position in the vertical direction.

[0114] For example, the rear recess 212 may include the aforementioned second rear recess 212b. In this case, the air guide assembly 23 may include an air inlet guide assembly 23b located in the second rear recess 212b. The air inlet guide assembly 23b may include an outer plate 2311, an inner plate 2312, and a horizontal plate 2313. The outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 are connected by a plurality of horizontal plates 2313 spaced apart in the vertical direction. A plurality of horizontal ribs 2121 spaced apart in the vertical direction are provided at the second rear recess 212b. The horizontal plates 2313 and the horizontal ribs 2121 are corresponding in position in the vertical direction.

[0115] In the above technical solution, the air guide plate 231 includes an outer plate 2311 and an inner plate 2312. When the air guide assembly 23 is in the open state, both the outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 can guide the airflow. The outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 can cooperate to form a specific local airflow channel. When the air guide assembly 23 is in the open state, the airflow will flow along the direction guided by the outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312 to achieve the corresponding effect. For example, based on the different air guide surfaces of the outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312, the effect of converging air supply or dispersing air supply can be achieved.

[0116] In the above technical solution, by arranging multiple horizontal plates 2313 at intervals along the vertical direction to connect the outer plate 2311 and the inner plate 2312, the overall strength and deformation resistance of the air guide plate 231 are improved, and the service life of the air guide plate 231 is extended. Multiple horizontal ribs 2121, which participate in defining the ventilation area 211 and are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, are provided at the rear groove 212. The horizontal plates 2313 and horizontal ribs 2121 are positioned correspondingly in the vertical direction, that is, the horizontal ribs 2121 and the horizontal plates 2313 are at the same height. This reduces the obstruction of airflow by the horizontal ribs 2121 and the horizontal plates 2313 during airflow, thereby reducing airflow resistance. Of course, this application is not limited to this; for example, the horizontal plates 2313 and horizontal ribs 2121 can also be arranged to be staggered in the vertical direction, that is, the horizontal ribs 2121 and the horizontal plates 2313 are not at the same height.

[0117] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6 The face shield body 21 is assembled and connected to the housing 11. Thus, by assembling and connecting the face shield body 21 to the housing 11, the structural stability of the air conditioner assembly 100 is enhanced, and the relative positions of the vents 111 on the housing 11 and the ventilation areas 211 on the face shield 2 can be stabilized. This reduces the possibility of poor ventilation due to loosening or separation of components, which is beneficial for air to enter and / or exit the air conditioner 1 and improves ventilation stability.

[0118] In the embodiments of this application, assembly connection refers to two separate parts that are connected together by assembly, such as screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0119] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6The shielding panel 22 covers the front side of the assembly connection between the face shield body 21 and the housing 11. Thus, the structure connecting the face shield body 21 and the housing 11 is concealed. When the shielding panel 22 is installed on the face shield body 21, on the one hand, the structure connecting the face shield body 21 and the housing 11 is not visible to the user; on the other hand, the shielding panel 22 protects the structure connecting the face shield body 21 and the housing 11, preventing dust, water droplets, etc., from entering the area, reducing the possibility of damage or corrosion to the connection structure, and improving the reliability and service life of the air conditioner assembly 100.

[0120] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 10 The mask body 21 includes a connecting part 213, a disassembly port 2131 is provided on the connecting part 213, a shielding panel 22 shields the connecting part 213 from the front, the shielding panel 22 is detachably connected to the connecting part 213, and the connecting part 213 is connected to the housing 11 by screws and / or snap-fit.

[0121] In the above technical solution, the shielding panel 22 shields the connecting part 213 from the front, thereby not only blocking the disassembly port 2131, but also blocking the connection structure between the connecting part 213 and the air conditioner 1. Furthermore, the shielding panel 22 and the connecting part 213 are detachably connected, allowing the shielding panel 22 to be easily installed and removed, facilitating the connection operation between the connecting part 213 and the air conditioner 1, and thus facilitating the disassembly and installation of the purification component 12. In addition, since the connecting part 213 is connected to the housing 11 by screws and / or snap-fit, that is, it can be connected only by screws, or only by snap-fit, or both screws and snap-fit, the connection reliability between the housing 11 and the mask body 21 can be improved.

[0122] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The face mask body 21 has connecting structures 216 at both its left and right ends, which are connected to the cabinet 3. Therefore, by providing connecting structures 216 at both ends of the face mask body 21 and connecting them to the cabinet 3, the overall stability between the face mask body 21 and the cabinet 3 can be enhanced. During the operation of the air conditioner 1, the shaking and vibration of the face mask body 21 can be effectively reduced.

[0123] In the embodiments of this application, the form of the connection structure 216 is not limited. For example, the connection structure 216 may be a screw hole, a protrusion, a groove, a snap, etc.

[0124] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The connecting structure 216 consists of a plurality of screw holes 2161 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the mask 2 is adapted to be connected to the cabinet 3 by a second screw 2162 passing through the screw holes 2161.

[0125] In the above technical solution, the installation process of the face mask 2 and the cabinet 3 is simplified by using screw holes 2161 as the connecting structure 216. Users only need to pass the screws 2162 through the screw holes 2161 on the face mask 2 and then tighten them to the corresponding holes on the cabinet 3, without the need for complicated installation tools or steps. Furthermore, screw connection is a relatively stable connection method, ensuring a firm bond between the face mask 2 and the cabinet 3. This prevents the face mask 2 from falling off or loosening due to external forces during long-term use, improving the product's reliability and durability. When the face mask 2 needs maintenance or replacement, users can easily remove it from the cabinet 3 by simply loosening the screws, making maintenance and replacement processes simpler and faster, reducing the user's operational difficulty and costs.

[0126] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 The ventilation opening 111 includes an air inlet 1112. The purification component 12 is disposed inside the housing 11 and at least covers the air inlet 1112. The purification component 12 enters and exits the housing 11 through the air inlet 1112 or through a clearance formed on the housing 11.

[0127] In the above technical solution, the purification component 12 is located inside the housing 11 and at least covers the air inlet 1112, making it easy to install and fix the purification component 12 and protect it by the housing 11. It can also purify the air entering the air conditioner 1, reduce the accumulation of dust and other impurities on the surface of the heat exchanger 14, extend the service life of the heat exchanger 14, and improve the reliability and stability of the air conditioner 1. The purification component 12 enters and exits the housing 11 through the air inlet 1112 or through the clearance formed on the housing 11, thereby facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the purification component 12.

[0128] In the embodiments of this application, when the purification component 12 enters or exits the housing 1 through the air inlet 1112, there is no need to set a clearance port. However, when the purification component 12 enters or exits the housing 11 through the clearance port, the clearance port and the air inlet 1112 can be set at the same time.

[0129] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 11 is provided with a slide rail 112, which participates in defining the slide groove 113. The end of the slide groove 113 near the mask 2 forms a slide groove inlet 1131. The purification component 12 enters and exits the slide groove 113 through the slide groove inlet 1131. The slide groove inlet 1131 is correspondingly set with the disassembly port 2131.

[0130] In the above technical solution, by setting the slide rail 112, slide groove 113 and slide groove inlet 1131, the disassembly and assembly of the purification component 12 can be guided. The operator can conveniently, quickly and smoothly push the purification component 12 into the accurate use position along the slide groove 113, and limit the purification component 12 to improve the working stability of the purification component 12. By setting the slide groove inlet 1131 and the disassembly and assembly port 2131 respectively, the purification component 12 can be conveniently installed into or removed from the slide groove 113 through the disassembly and assembly port 2131 to achieve the cleaning and replacement of the purification component 12 without disassembling the entire mask 2, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the purification component 12 and extending the service life of the air conditioner 1.

[0131] In the embodiments of this application, the slide rail 112 participates in defining the slide groove 113. For example, the slide rail 112 can define the slide groove 113 independently. In this case, the slide rail 112 can be manufactured separately, reducing the complexity of manufacturing the housing 11. Alternatively, it can define the slide groove 113 together with the housing 11. In this case, the material used in the production of the slide rail 112 is reduced, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs. It can also eliminate the assembly process and reduce the space occupied inside the air conditioner 1, enhancing the compactness of the internal space of the air conditioner 1.

[0132] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The purification component 12 is a filter assembly 12a, which includes a filter handle 12a1 and a filter clip 12a2, combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The filter handle 12a1 and the filter clip 12a2 are both located at the end of the filter assembly 12a near the slide inlet 1131. The filter clip 12a2 is engaged with the slide rail 112 and / or the housing 11. The filter handle 12a1 is correspondingly set with the disassembly port 2131.

[0133] In the above technical solution, both the filter handle 12a1 and the filter clip 12a2 are located at the end of the filter assembly 12a near the slide inlet 1131, which facilitates the operator to release the filter clip 12a2 from its limit and hold the filter handle 12a1 to insert or remove the filter assembly 12a from the slide 113, thus improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly. The filter handle 12a1 is correspondingly set with the disassembly port 2131, so that the operator can hold the filter handle 12a1 through the disassembly port 2131 to remove the filter assembly 12a, thereby cleaning and replacing the filter assembly 12a without disassembling the entire mask 2 and the housing 11, further improving the convenience of operation.

[0134] In the embodiments of this application, the filter clip 12a2 is engaged with the slide rail 112 and / or the housing 11. That is, the filter clip 12a2 can be engaged with the slide rail 112, or the filter clip 12a2 can be engaged with the housing 11, or the filter clip 12a2 can be engaged with both the slide rail 112 and the housing 11.

[0135] The filter clip 12a2 engages with the slide rail 112, which can firmly fix the purification component 12 in the slide groove 113, reducing the possibility of the purification component 12 loosening or falling off during use; the filter clip 12a2 engages with the housing 11, which can reduce the length of the slide groove 113, making it easier for the purification component 12 to be pulled out of the slide groove 113; the filter clip 12a2, slide rail 112 and housing 11 are engaged together, which improves the installation reliability of the purification component 12 and extends the service life of the air conditioner 1.

[0136] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The ventilation opening 111 includes an air inlet 1112 and an air outlet 1111. One of the air inlet 1112 and the air outlet 1111 is located near the left side of the mask 2, and the other is located near the right side of the mask 2. Figure 11 The air conditioner 1 includes a fan 13 and a heat exchanger 14 disposed in the housing 11. The heat exchanger 14 and the fan 13 are arranged in the left-right direction along the direction from the air inlet 1112 to the air outlet 1111. The purification component 12 is disposed in the housing 11 and located between the heat exchanger 14 and the air inlet 1112, or disposed outside the housing 11 and located upstream of the air inlet 1112.

[0137] In the above technical solution, one of the air inlet 1112 and the air outlet 1111 is located near the left side of the mask 2, and the other is located near the right side of the mask 2. Thus, the air inlet 1112 and the air outlet 1111 are a certain distance apart on the mask 2, which reduces the mutual influence between the air inlet 1112 and the air outlet 1111. For example, when the air conditioner 1 is running, air enters from the air inlet 1112, is regulated by the air conditioner 1, and is blown out from the air outlet 1111. The air inlet 1112 and the air outlet 1111 are a certain distance apart, and the airflow path of the indoor air circulation is less likely to cross or overlap, thereby reducing the possibility of airflow short-circuiting and back-suction, and improving heat exchange efficiency and overall air circulation efficiency.

[0138] In the above technical solution, the air conditioner 1 includes a fan 13 and a heat exchanger 14 disposed in the casing 11. The heat exchanger 14 and the fan 13 are arranged in the left-right direction along the direction from the air inlet 1112 to the air outlet 1111, thereby reducing the thickness of the air conditioner 1 in the front-back direction. This is beneficial for the air conditioner 1 to be installed in home components (such as cabinets), thereby reducing the additional occupation of indoor space and improving the coordination between home furnishings and home appliance decoration.

[0139] In the embodiments of this application, the purification component 12 is disposed inside the housing 11 and located between the heat exchanger 14 and the air inlet 1112, or disposed outside the housing 11 and located upstream of the air inlet 1112. When the purification component 12 is disposed inside the housing 11 and located between the heat exchanger 14 and the air inlet 1112, the housing 11 can provide protection or a mounting base for the purification component 12, thereby enabling the purification component 12 to reliably perform its purification function. For example, the purification component 12 can filter and purify dust, thereby reducing the decrease in the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger 14 due to dust accumulation and improving the service life of the air conditioner 1. When the purification component 12 is disposed outside the housing 11 and located upstream of the air inlet 1112, since the purification component 12 is disposed outside the housing 11, the purification component 12 can reduce the space occupied inside the housing 11 and reduce the risk of interference between the purification component 12 and other components inside the housing 11 during disassembly and assembly.
