The internal structure design and installation methods of various components directly affect their performance and service life. The air inlet grille is one of the key components in the air conditioning system. It is located on the air inlet side of the air conditioner. Its main function is to guide and regulate the air flow entering the air conditioner to ensure efficient and stable operation of the equipment. At present, in order to facilitate daily repair and maintenance, most air inlet grilles adopt a detachable design. Common installation methods include bolt fastening and hanging.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

It should also be noted that in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The specific implementation of the air inlet grille installation device of the utility model is described.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides an air inlet grille installation device, comprising: a base 10, which is arranged on the inner side of the air inlet grille, and the base 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11 with an opening direction facing away from the air inlet grille; a magnetic member 20, which is in floating cooperation with the mounting groove 11; under the floating cooperation, the magnetic member 20 has a maximum floating position protruding from the mounting groove 11 and a minimum floating position contracted in the mounting groove 11. Specifically, the base 10 of the air inlet grille installation device is fixed on the inner side of the air inlet grille, and is provided with a mounting groove 11 with an opening direction facing away from the air inlet grille. In the mounting groove 11, a relatively movable magnetic member 20 is arranged, and the magnetic member 20 can form a floating cooperation with the mounting groove 11, that is, the magnetic member 20 can move within a certain range. The movable range of the magnet part 20 has two extreme positions: one is the maximum floating position, at which the magnet part 20 partially protrudes from the mounting groove 11 to accommodate the assembly gap that may exist on the air inlet side of the air conditioner or to cope with the slight deformation of the air inlet grille material caused by temperature changes; the other is the minimum floating position, at which the magnet part 20 shrinks into the mounting groove 11, with a small part protruding or not protruding from the mounting groove 11.

[0028] When applied to actual installation scenarios, the air inlet grille with this device can be magnetically connected to the corresponding part on the air conditioner body through the magnetic part 20. The floating characteristics of the magnetic part 20 allow it to flexibly adapt to the slight deformation of the air inlet grille caused by force or environmental factors without affecting the adsorption strength, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the air inlet grille and the air conditioner body to prevent falling off or vibration and abnormal noise, while also making the disassembly and assembly of the air inlet grille more convenient without the need for overly complicated fixing means, taking into account both long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0029] According to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, an elastic mechanism is provided in the installation groove 11; the magnetic member 20 maintains the maximum floating position under the elastic force of the elastic mechanism. When there is no external force, the magnetic member 20 will remain in the state of protruding from the installation groove 11 due to the elastic force provided by the elastic mechanism, so as to achieve maximum contact and adsorption of the air conditioner body, thereby ensuring the initial stability of the air inlet grille installation. In actual use, when the air conditioner is running, the air inlet grille may be affected by various dynamic loads such as wind force and deform. At this time, after the wind force exceeds the elastic force of the elastic mechanism, the magnetic member 20 can move to the minimum floating position under the action of the elastic force, that is, shrink back into the installation groove 11. This mechanism enables the air inlet grille to flexibly adapt to its own dynamic changes, effectively alleviates the stress caused by deformation, and avoids the problem of structural damage that may be caused by the traditional fixing method. Once the wind force or other external force disappears, the elastic mechanism will automatically return to its original state and push the magnetic member 20 back to the maximum floating position again, thereby ensuring that the air inlet grille can quickly restore a stable installation posture in a natural state and maintain good sealing and stability.

[0030] Among them, the elastic mechanism can include an elastic member connected between the base 10 and the magnet member 20, such as a spring or elastic rubber, etc. Through the connection of this elastic member, the magnet member 20 can float freely within a preset range, and at the same time ensure that the magnet member 20 will not accidentally fall out of the mounting slot 11, which not only realizes the effective floating cooperation between the magnet member 20 and the mounting slot 11, but also provides the necessary holding force to ensure the stable installation of the air inlet grille under various working conditions. Another embodiment is to directly set the elastic mechanism in the base 10. In this case, the elastic mechanism can only provide elastic thrust in a single direction to ensure that the magnet member 20 can move to the minimum floating position when subjected to appropriate pressure to adapt to the deformation or dynamic changes of the air inlet grille. The movement range of the magnet member 20 is controlled and limited by another independent limiting structure to prevent it from excessive movement or separation from the mounting slot 11.

[0031] Preferably Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, the elastic mechanism includes an elastic arm 12 arranged at the bottom of the installation slot 11; one end of the elastic arm 12 is fixed to the base 10, and the other end is provided with a support portion 13 folded toward the opening direction of the installation slot 11; the support portion 13 is always supported at the bottom of the magnetic part 20 under the elastic force of the elastic arm 12, providing constant support and elastic thrust. Specifically, the magnetic part 20 can be maintained in the maximum floating position under the support of the elastic force provided by the elastic arm 12, and can ensure good contact and adsorption effects even in the absence of external forces. When the air inlet grille is deformed under the action of factors such as wind force, the magnetic part 20 can overcome the elastic effect of the elastic arm 12 and smoothly transition to the minimum floating position, thereby achieving effective adaptation to the dynamic changes of the air inlet grille.

[0032] The mounting groove 11 may not have a solid bottom, but the elastic arm 12 replaces the traditional rigid bottom structure, making it a part of the mounting groove 11. The elastic arm 12 not only connects the base 10 and the magnet 20, but also defines the space of the mounting groove 11.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, the number of elastic arms 12 is preferably two; the two elastic arms 12 extend from the side walls of the installation groove 11 on opposite sides to the middle. Specifically, the two elastic arms 12 extend from the side walls on opposite sides of the installation groove 11 to the middle position in the groove. Such a layout enables the support parts 13 of the two elastic arms 12 to be close to the middle area of ​​the magnet part 20, ensuring that the force distribution is balanced and concentrated, and can more effectively improve the efficiency of the elastic force compared to a single elastic arm 12. By adopting the design of double elastic arms 12, not only can the stress generated by the deformation or force of the air inlet grille be more evenly dispersed, avoiding the situation that a single elastic arm 12 is easily damaged due to stress concentration, but also can ensure that the magnet part 20 can switch between the maximum floating position and the minimum floating position more smoothly under the joint action of the two elastic arms 12 when affected by factors such as wind force, thereby achieving accurate adaptation and compensation for the dynamic changes of the air inlet grille, and effectively improving the stability and service life of the entire air inlet grille installation device.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, a slider 21 is provided on the surface of the magnet part 20; a limiting groove 14 adapted to the slider 21 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the installation groove 11, so as to limit the moving range of the slider 21 through the limiting groove 14. The moving range of the slider 21 is precisely limited by the limiting groove 14, ensuring that the magnet part 20 can only move in a specific direction and within a preset range during the floating cooperation with the installation groove 11.

[0035] Furthermore, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, the shape of the magnet part 20 is a rectangular body, and the cross-sectional shape of the installation groove 11 is a rectangle adapted to the rectangular body, so that the two can form a stable sliding fit relationship. In order to further strengthen the positioning and guiding function of the magnet part 20 in the installation groove 11, sliders 21 are provided on the opposite side surfaces of the magnet part 20, and limiting grooves 14 are provided on the opposite side walls of the installation groove 11. The symmetrical design of the sliders 21 on both sides and the limiting grooves 14 makes the entire air inlet grille installation device more stable and reliable in structure, so that the magnet part 20 can be effectively guided and supported no matter in which direction the force is applied, thereby enhancing the stability of the magnet part 20 during the floating process.

[0036] The base 10 of the air inlet grille mounting device can be formed integrally with the frame structure of the air inlet grille, or fixed to the air inlet grille by means of bonding, or installed on the air inlet grille in a detachable manner. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, the base 10 is provided with a mounting plate 15 perpendicular to the opening direction of the mounting slot 11, and the mounting plate 15 is provided with a mounting hole 16 for mounting with the air inlet grille, so as to realize a more convenient and stable detachable installation mode between the installation device and the air inlet grille. During specific installation, the air inlet grille can be combined with corresponding fasteners (such as screws, bolts, etc.) through the mounting hole 16, so as to firmly fix the installation device on the air inlet grille, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the air inlet grille and the installation device, while facilitating the user's disassembly and maintenance operations, and taking into account the functional requirements and maintenance convenience of the air inlet grille of the air conditioner during use.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an air inlet grille installation device provided by the utility model, a reinforcing plate 17 is provided between the outer wall of the installation slot 11 and the installation plate 15, and the plate surface of the reinforcing plate 17 is respectively perpendicular to the outer wall of the installation slot 11 and the installation plate 15. The reinforcing plate 17 is used to enhance the overall mechanical properties of the base 10, in particular to prevent the installation plate 15 from deforming or bending relative to the installation slot 11 under the action of bearing force or external stress. The existence of the reinforcing plate 17 is equivalent to constructing an additional support structure at the connection between the installation slot 11 and the installation plate 15, which can effectively transmit and disperse the force acting on the installation plate 15, improve the bending and torsion resistance of the installation device under stress, thereby ensuring that the installation device can still maintain a good shape and connection strength during long-term use and repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0038] The air inlet grille and the air conditioner provided by the present invention are described below. The air inlet grille and the air conditioner described below can correspond to the air inlet grille installation device described above.

[0039] The utility model also provides an air inlet grille, including an air inlet grille installation device of any one of the above embodiments. Since the air inlet grille installation device adopts the floating magnetic structure and elastic structure and other designs described above, it ensures that the air inlet grille and the air conditioner body are connected in a manner that is both firm and flexible to adapt to deformation. Through the air inlet grille installation device, the air inlet grille can effectively absorb and compensate for minor deformations caused by wind or other factors during use, and can also return to a stable installation posture by means of an elastic mechanism when no external force is applied, thereby reducing vibration and abnormal noise and improving the operating stability of the air conditioning system.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an air inlet grille provided by the utility model, there are multiple air inlet grille mounting devices; the multiple air inlet grille mounting devices are respectively arranged on the frame structures on both sides of the air inlet grille, and the positions of the air inlet grille mounting devices on the frame structures on both sides correspond to each other. Specifically, on the frame structures on both sides of the air inlet grille, the positions of the air inlet grille mounting devices correspond to each other to ensure that the contact surface between the air inlet grille and the air conditioner body is evenly stressed, achieving a balanced and stable installation state. Through the multi-point distributed mounting device, the air inlet grille is more tightly and firmly combined with the air conditioner body, which improves the stability of the overall installation, while dispersing the load and avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive load-bearing at a single mounting point.

[0041] The utility model also provides an air conditioner, comprising an air inlet grille of any one of the above embodiments. The air inlet grille is installed by adsorbing the magnetic part 20 of the air inlet grille installation device to the magnetic receptor on the air inlet side of the air conditioner body, ensuring a stable and flexible connection between the air inlet grille and the air conditioner body, which can not only resist various stresses during operation, but also effectively compensate for minor deformations caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the material or wind force. In the actual use of the air conditioner, the multiple air inlet grille installation devices symmetrically arranged on the frame structure on both sides of the air inlet grille not only evenly distribute the force and improve the stability of the overall structure, but also greatly simplify the disassembly and assembly process of the air inlet grille. When maintaining or cleaning the air inlet grille, the user only needs to provide a force that exceeds the magnetic force of the magnetic part 20 to easily complete the disassembly task, which significantly reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance and improves the convenience of use and maintenance efficiency of the air conditioner equipment.
