Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a panel opening structure and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioning panel is the main exterior part of the air conditioner and plays a role in beautification. The connection structure between the air conditioning panel and the air conditioning middle frame is usually designed to ensure air tightness and a detachable connection method that is easy to install and maintain. It must not only ensure appearance and usage functions, but also ensure air tightness and easy maintenance.

[0003] However, due to the different needs of air-conditioning shapes, when the structural setting between the panel and the air-conditioning middle frame is more complicated, a rotating shaft is generally provided between the panel and the air-conditioning middle frame for the panel to be flipped open on the air-conditioning middle frame. When the panel on the air-conditioning middle frame is turned open, the rotating shaft on the panel is easy to interfere with other parts in the air-conditioning middle frame, resulting in the connection between the panel, other parts and the air-conditioning middle frame is not reliable enough; when the rotating shaft is easy to interfere with other parts, when the panel and the air-conditioning middle frame are assembled, the rotating shaft is also easy to interfere with other parts, which will reduce the assembly efficiency and affect the installation production efficiency of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a panel opening structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem that when the panel on the air conditioner middle frame is flipped, the rotating shaft on the panel is likely to interfere with other parts in the air conditioner middle frame.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the basic scheme of the utility model is as follows: a panel opening structure, comprising:

[0006] A spring piece, wherein a first slide groove is provided on the spring piece;

[0007] A first pin shaft, the first pin shaft is fixedly mounted on the spring sheet;

[0008] A second pin shaft fixed on the middle frame of the air conditioner, the second pin shaft can be slidably limited to the first sliding groove;

[0009] A second slide groove provided on the middle frame of the air conditioner;

[0010] An arc-shaped groove is arranged on the middle frame of the air conditioner, one end of the arc-shaped groove smoothly transitions to and is connected with the second sliding groove;

[0011] The first pin shaft can be slidably limited to the second slide groove and the arc groove. When the panel is completely closed to the middle frame of the air conditioner, the first pin shaft slides and locks to the end of the second slide groove away from the arc groove, and the first pin shaft also slides and locks to the end of the second slide groove; when the panel can be flipped open relative to the middle frame of the air conditioner, the first pin shaft slides into the arc groove.

[0012] The technical principle of the utility model is: when the spring sheet and the second pin are installed in coordination, and when the first pin is initially embedded in the second slide groove and the second pin is initially embedded in the first slide groove, the elastic spring sheet can be deformed, so that the first pin is embedded in the second slide groove, and the second pin is embedded in the first slide groove, and the spring sheet can be conveniently and smoothly installed between the second slide groove, the arc groove and the second pin, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the panel and the air conditioner middle frame during assembly.

[0013] When you need to open the shrapnel,

[0014] First, pull out the first pin shaft horizontally along the second slide groove, so that the first pin shaft slides to the left end of the second slide groove, and the second pin shaft slides relatively to the right side of the first slide groove. At this time, the first pin shaft is located at the transition point of the second slide groove and the arc groove, and then the spring piece is controlled to rotate the first pin shaft around the second pin shaft. The first pin shaft slides along the arc groove to realize the flipping of the panel. At this time, through the coordinated setting of the second slide groove and the first pin shaft, a certain distance has been set between the air conditioner middle frame and the panel, so that when the panel is flipped, it will not interfere with other structures on the air conditioner middle frame. The displacement process of the spring piece is simple and the operation is reliable.

[0015] Furthermore, the first sliding groove is located on one side of the spring sheet, and the first pin shaft is located on the other side of the spring sheet.

[0016] Through the above arrangement, the first slide groove and the first pin shaft are located on both sides of the spring sheet, so that the first slide groove cooperates with the second pin shaft, and the second slide groove cooperates with the first pin shaft without interfering with each other.

[0017] Furthermore, the length of the first pin is less than or equal to the depth of the second sliding groove.

[0018] Through the above arrangement, the first pin shaft can accurately slide in the second sliding groove, and the first pin shaft will not scratch other structures during the sliding process.

[0019] Furthermore, the length of the second pin is less than or equal to the depth of the first sliding groove.

[0020] Through the above arrangement, the second pin shaft can accurately slide in the first sliding groove, and the second pin shaft will not scratch other structures during the sliding process.

[0021] Furthermore, when the first pin shaft slides in the arc-shaped groove, the second pin shaft abuts against the end of the first sliding groove.

[0022] Through the above arrangement, the first pin shaft slides in the arc groove, and when the panel is flipped, a stable limiting state is maintained between the second pin shaft and the first sliding groove, ensuring that the spring sheet does not separate from the second pin shaft, thereby improving the stability of panel flipping.

[0023] Furthermore, the spring sheet, the first pin shaft, the second pin shaft, the first slide groove, the second slide groove and the arc groove can all be located on the same vertical plane, and the sliding paths of the first pin shaft and the second pin shaft intersect with the plane where the panel is located.

[0024] Through the above arrangement, the spring piece, the first pin shaft, the second pin shaft, the first slide groove, the second slide groove and the arc groove are combined more compactly, so that the spring piece, the first pin shaft, the second pin shaft, the first slide groove, the second slide groove and the arc groove are more stably matched and connected with each other.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the spring piece away from the panel is in a cone shape that can be embedded in the middle frame of the air conditioner.

[0026] Through the above arrangement, the spring piece can be more conveniently installed on the second pin shaft, the second slide groove and the arc groove of the air conditioner middle frame through the guidance of the conical structure, making the installation of the spring piece more convenient and simple.

[0027] Furthermore, the arc groove is connected to an end of the second sliding groove close to the panel.

[0028] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, it can be ensured that when the spring piece is flipped relative to the air-conditioning middle frame, the spring piece is controlled by the cooperation of the first pin shaft and the second slide groove so that a gap is created between the end of the spring piece away from the first pin shaft and the air-conditioning middle frame, making it less likely that the flipping of the panel will interfere with the air-conditioning middle frame.

[0029] Furthermore, the second pin shaft is located at the connecting point between the second slide groove and the arc groove of the air conditioner middle frame.

[0030] Through the above arrangement, when the spring sheet slides in the arc groove under the guidance of the first pin shaft, the second pin shaft can also cooperate with the position of the first sliding groove, so that the flipping of the spring sheet is more stable.

[0031] Furthermore, an air conditioner includes a panel, an air conditioner middle frame and a panel opening structure, wherein one end of the spring piece away from the first pin shaft is fixedly connected to a side of the panel close to the air conditioner middle frame.

[0032] Through the above settings, the panel and the air conditioner middle frame will not interfere with each other, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the panel and the air conditioner middle frame during installation and flipping, and the panel is easy to open and close, simple to control, and reliable to operate.

[0039] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] This embodiment is basically Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model proposes a panel opening structure, including a spring piece 30, a first pin shaft 301, a second pin shaft 401 fixed on the air-conditioning middle frame 20, a second slide groove 402 arranged on the air-conditioning middle frame 20, and an arc groove 403 arranged on the air-conditioning middle frame 20, the arc groove 403 is connected with one end of the second slide groove 402 close to the panel 10, and one end of the arc groove 403 smoothly transitions and is connected with the second slide groove 402.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the spring sheet 30 is integrally formed with the panel 10, and the lower end of the spring sheet 30 is inclined to the plane where the panel 10 is located. A first slide groove 302 is concavely arranged on the front side of the spring sheet 30, and the first slide groove 302 is synchronously inclined along the inclination direction of the lower end of the spring sheet 30; the first pin shaft 301 is integrally formed on the lower end of the rear side of the spring sheet 30, the first pin shaft 301 is cylindrical, and the axis of the first pin shaft 301 is perpendicular to the side wall of the first pin shaft 301; the first pin shaft 301 can be slidably limited to the second slide groove 402 and the arc groove 403.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the second pin shaft 401 is located at the connecting point of the second slide groove 402 and the arc groove 403 of the air conditioner middle frame 20, and the second pin shaft 401 can be slidably limited to the first slide groove 302 and the arc groove 403. The length of the first pin shaft 301 is equal to the depth of the second slide groove 402, and the length of the second pin shaft 401 is equal to the depth of the first slide groove 302.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the spring piece 30, the first pin shaft 301, the second pin shaft 401, the first slide groove 302, the second slide groove 402 and the arc groove 403 can all be located on the same vertical plane, and the sliding paths of the first pin shaft 301 and the second pin shaft 401 intersect with the plane where the panel 10 is located.

[0045] In addition, one end of the spring piece 30 away from the panel 10 is in a cone shape that can be embedded in the air conditioner middle frame 20, and the corners of the side walls of the spring piece 30 are all in a wedge shape.

[0046] When the panel opening structure in this embodiment is installed, the tapered part and the wedge surface at the lower end of the spring piece 30 can guide the spring piece 30 to be embedded in the air-conditioning middle frame 20, so that the spring piece 30 can be slightly deformed and then snapped into the air-conditioning middle frame 20. When the first pin shaft 301 is initially embedded in the second slide groove 402 and the second pin shaft 401 is initially embedded in the first slide groove 302, the elastic spring piece 30 can be deformed, so that the first pin shaft 301 is snapped into the left end of the second slide groove 402, and the second pin shaft 401 is snapped into the right end of the first slide groove 302. The spring piece 30 can be conveniently and smoothly installed between the second slide groove 402, the arc groove 403 and the second pin shaft 401, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the panel 10 and the air-conditioning middle frame 20 during assembly.

[0047] When the panel 10 on the air conditioner middle frame 20 is flipped open, the first pin shaft 301 is first pulled out horizontally along the second slide groove 402, so that the first pin shaft 301 slides to the left end of the second slide groove 402, and the second pin shaft 401 slides relatively to the right side of the first slide groove 302. At this time, the first pin shaft 301 is located at the transition point between the second slide groove 402 and the arc groove 403, and then the spring piece 30 is controlled to rotate the first pin shaft 301 around the second pin shaft 401, and the first pin shaft 301 slides along the arc groove 403 to realize the flipping of the panel 10. At this time, through the coordinated setting of the second slide groove 402 and the first pin shaft 301, a certain distance has been set between the air conditioner middle frame 20 and the panel 10, so that when the panel 10 is flipped, it will not interfere with other structures on the air conditioner middle frame 20.

[0048] At the same time, when the spring clip 30 and the second pin shaft 401 are installed in coordination, each structure is precisely matched with each other, and will not interfere with other structures in the air conditioner middle frame 20. Both sides of the spring clip 30 are precisely limited and fixed by the first pin shaft 301 and the second pin shaft 401. The connection between the spring clip 30 and the panel 10 is also very stable, which is also convenient for stable flipping of the panel 10.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is basically as shown in the attached Figure 3 , 4As shown in FIG. 5 , an air conditioner is disclosed, including a panel 10, an air conditioner middle frame 20, and a panel opening structure. The upper left end of the spring 30 is integrally formed with a side of the panel 10 close to the air conditioner middle frame 20. The spring 30 is located at the upper edge of the side of the panel 10 close to the air conditioner middle frame 20, and as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, spring pieces 30 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the panel 10, and two card slots 201 for embedding the spring pieces 30 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning middle frame 20. The second pin shaft 401 is integrally formed at the card slot 201 of the air-conditioning middle frame 20, and a support plate 202 for forming a second slide groove 402 and an arc groove 403 is provided at the card slot 201 of the air-conditioning middle frame 20 away from the second pin shaft 401. The support plate 202 is also integrally formed with the air-conditioning middle frame 20.

[0051] When the air conditioner in this embodiment needs to open the panel 10 on the air conditioner middle frame 20, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, first separate the panel 10 and the lower side of the air-conditioning middle frame 20, then pull the panel 10 away from the air-conditioning middle frame 20 along the direction of the second slide groove 402, so that a gap of the length of the second slide groove 402 is generated between the panel 10 and the air-conditioning middle frame 20, and then lift the lower side of the panel 10 so that the first pin shaft 301 slides into the arc groove 403, and then the panel 10 can be flipped under the limit of the arc groove 403. During this process, the panel 10 and the air-conditioning middle frame 20 will not interfere with each other, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the panel 10 and the air-conditioning middle frame 20 during installation and flipping, and the panel 10 is easy to open and close, simple to control, and reliable to operate.
