[0002] In the related art, the air conditioner is usually provided with a casing and an air guide plate that can move relative to the casing to open and close the air outlet on the casing. When the air guide plate closes the air outlet, one end of the air guide plate needs to abut against the side wall of the air outlet. In order to prevent the air guide plate from colliding or rubbing against the side wall of the air outlet when the air guide plate abuts against the side wall or during the transportation of the air conditioner, thereby causing wear and tear on the air guide plate or the casing, an anti-collision strip is usually provided on the side wall of the air outlet that abuts against the air guide plate.

[0003] However, there are manufacturing precision errors in the production process of the casing, anti-collision strip, air guide plate, etc., and there are also assembly errors in the assembly process of the air conditioner, resulting in unsatisfactory adaptation between the anti-collision strip and the air guide plate. When the air guide plate closes the air outlet, the user observes from the outside of the air conditioner that there is an obvious gap between the air guide plate and the anti-collision strip, and the sealing between the air guide plate and the casing is poor. Therefore, improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0058] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0059] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 25 A cabinet assembly 100 and an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0060] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 According to the casing assembly 100 of the first embodiment of the utility model, the casing assembly 100 includes: a casing 1, an anti-collision strip 2 and an air guide plate 3, the casing 1 is formed with an air inlet and an air outlet 12, the side wall of the air outlet 12 includes a matching side wall 13, the anti-collision strip 2 is installed on the casing 1, and the air guide plate 3 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 12.

[0061] Optionally, an air duct assembly is usually provided in the housing assembly 100 , and the air duct assembly can drive the airflow outside the housing 1 to enter the housing 1 through the air inlet, and drive the airflow inside the housing 1 to flow out through the air outlet 12 .

[0062] refer to Figure 1-Figure 25The anti-collision strip 2 is elastic, and includes an anti-collision portion 21, which is disposed on the mating side wall 13 and has a hollow cavity 22, so that the anti-collision portion 21 is easily deformed under the stress state of the anti-collision strip 2. For example, the deformation of the anti-collision portion 21 includes elastic deformation and deformation formed by the hollow cavity 22 of the anti-collision portion 21 being recessed inward.

[0063] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The air guide plate 3 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 12 to open and close the air outlet 12. The air guide plate 3 can be used to adjust the air outlet direction and air outlet volume at the air outlet 12. The air guide plate 3 has a first end 31 and a second end 32 that are relatively disposed. The air outlet 12 is opened by moving outward through the second end 32. When the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12, the second end 32 abuts against the anti-collision strip 2. When the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12, the anti-collision strip 2 is under a force state abutting against the air guide plate 3. The anti-collision strip 2 can be adaptively deformed according to the matching condition of the anti-collision strip 2 and the air guide plate 3, so as to form a tight abutment effect at different matching positions of the anti-collision strip 2 and the air guide plate 3.

[0064] In this way, when there are manufacturing precision errors or assembly errors in the anti-collision strip 2, the air guide plate 3, etc., it can be avoided that when the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12, the user observes an obvious gap between the air guide plate 3 and the anti-collision strip 2 from the outside of the air conditioner.

[0065] By making the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 abut against the anti-collision strip 2, the anti-collision strip 2 can be used to prevent the air guide plate 3 and the casing 1 from being worn due to collision or friction between the matching side walls 13 of the air outlet 12 during the process of the air guide plate 3 closing the air outlet 12 by rotating or during the transportation of the casing assembly 100, and can also reduce the noise generated by closing to a certain extent.

[0066] For example, when the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12 , the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 moves inward to close the air outlet 12 until the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 abuts against the anti-collision strip 2 .

[0067] The second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 moves outward, which means that the air guide plate 3 can rotate so that the second end 32 moves in a direction away from the matching side wall 13 or away from the inner part of the housing 1, so as to open the air outlet 12 or increase the opening degree of the air outlet 12. For example, when the housing assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, when the air conditioner receives an instruction to increase the air volume, the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 rotates outward around the first end 31 of the air guide plate 3 to open the air outlet 12 or increase the opening degree of the air outlet 12.

[0068] The second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 moves inwards, which means that the air guide plate 3 can move the second end 32 toward the direction close to the matching side wall 13 or toward the inner part of the housing 1, so as to close the air outlet 12 or reduce the opening degree of the air outlet 12. For example, when the housing assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, when the air conditioner receives an instruction to reduce the air volume, the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 will rotate inwards around the first end 31 of the air guide plate 3 to close the air outlet 12 or reduce the opening degree of the air outlet 12.

[0069] According to the casing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, an elastic anti-collision strip 2 is provided, and the anti-collision portion 21 of the anti-collision strip 2 is provided on the matching side wall 13 to form a hollow cavity 22, so that when the air guide plate 3 is in a state of closing the air outlet 12 and abutting against the anti-collision strip 2, the anti-collision portion 21 of the anti-collision strip 2 is easy to deform. In this way, when there are manufacturing precision errors or assembly errors in the anti-collision strip 2, the air guide plate 3, etc., the adaptation effect between the anti-collision strip 2 and the air guide plate 3 can be optimized, and it can be avoided that when the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12, the user observes an obvious gap between the air guide plate 3 and the anti-collision strip 2 from the outside of the air conditioner, which is beneficial to improve the sealing effect between the air guide plate 3 and the casing 1.

[0070] In addition, the hollow cavity 22 of the anti-collision part 21 also provides space and flexibility for the cooperation between the air guide plate 3 and the anti-collision part 21. For example, when there are manufacturing precision errors or assembly errors in the anti-collision strip 2, the air guide plate 3, etc., the hollow cavity 22 can be used as an avoidance space when the air guide plate 3 rotates, and the hollow cavity can avoid interference between the two by undergoing a greater degree of deformation.

[0071] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the rotation axis of the air guide plate 3 extends along the first direction (as shown in the direction e1 in the reference figure), and the hollow cavity 22 penetrates the anti-collision portion 21 along the first direction. By extending the rotation axis of the air guide plate 3 along the first direction, and penetrating the hollow cavity 22 along the first direction through the anti-collision portion 21, when the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12 by rotating, the position where the anti-collision portion 21 abuts against the second end 32 of the air guide plate 3 in the first direction is easy to deform and can be adaptively deformed, so that there is no obvious gap between the air guide plate 3 and the anti-collision portion 21 along the first direction.

[0072] refer to Figure 23-Figure 25According to some embodiments of the utility model, the anti-collision part 21 includes a first anti-collision wall 211, a second anti-collision wall 212 and a third anti-collision wall 213, the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 are located on opposite sides of the hollow cavity 22, the first anti-collision wall 211 is located on the side of the second anti-collision wall 212 away from the matching side wall 13, and the third anti-collision wall 213 is connected between the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 and is located outside the hollow cavity 22; wherein, the wall thickness of the first anti-collision wall 211 is a, the wall thickness of the second anti-collision wall 212 is b, and the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 is less than the wall thickness b of the second anti-collision wall 212. The third anti-collision wall 213 is located outside the hollow cavity 22, which means that the third anti-collision wall 213 is farther away from the components in the housing 1 than the hollow cavity 22.

[0073] The smaller the wall thickness, the smaller the rigidity and strength of the first anti-collision wall 211, the second anti-collision wall 212 and the third anti-collision wall 213, and the easier it is to deform; the larger the wall thickness, the greater the rigidity and strength of the first anti-collision wall 211, the second anti-collision wall 212 and the third anti-collision wall 213, and the harder it is to deform. The first anti-collision wall 211 is located on the side of the second anti-collision wall 212 away from the matching side wall 13. When the air guide plate 3 abuts against the anti-collision strip 2, the first anti-collision wall 211 will deform along with the hollow cavity 22. By making the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 smaller than the wall thickness b of the second anti-collision wall 212, the rigidity and strength of the first anti-collision wall 211 are lower, making the first anti-collision wall 211 more prone to deformation; while the rigidity and strength of the second anti-collision wall 212 are higher, so that the anti-collision part 21 can be stably arranged on the matching side wall 13.

[0074] refer to Figure 23-Figure 25According to some embodiments of the utility model, the anti-collision portion 21 includes a first anti-collision wall 211, a second anti-collision wall 212 and a third anti-collision wall 213. The first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 are located on opposite sides of the hollow cavity 22. The first anti-collision wall 211 is located on the side of the second anti-collision wall 212 away from the mating side wall 13. The third anti-collision wall 213 is connected between the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 and is located on the outside of the hollow cavity 22; wherein the wall thickness of the first anti-collision wall 211 is a, the wall thickness of the third anti-collision wall 213 is c, and the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 is less than the wall thickness c of the third anti-collision wall 213. By making the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 smaller than the wall thickness c of the third anti-collision wall 213, the first anti-collision wall 211 is located on the side of the second anti-collision wall 212 away from the matching side wall 13, when the air guide plate 3 abuts against the anti-collision strip 2, the first anti-collision wall 211 will deform together with the hollow cavity 22, and by making the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 smaller than the wall thickness b of the second anti-collision wall 212, the rigidity and strength of the first anti-collision wall 211 are lower, making the first anti-collision wall 211 more likely to deform; and the third anti-collision wall 213 is smaller than the third anti-collision wall 213. The third anti-collision wall 213 is connected between the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212. By making the wall thickness a of the first anti-collision wall 211 smaller than the wall thickness b of the second anti-collision wall 212, the third anti-collision wall 213 has higher rigidity and strength, so that the third anti-collision wall 213 is not easy to deform, and the connection strength between the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 is higher, which is beneficial for the hollow cavity 22 located between the first anti-collision wall 211 and the second anti-collision wall 212 to stably maintain its hollow shape.

[0075] refer to Figure 1-Figure 15 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the surface of the anti-collision part 21 facing the air outlet 12 includes a mating surface 214 for mating with the second end 32. When the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 12, the second end 32 abuts against the mating surface 214. When the air guide plate 3 opens the air outlet 12, the mating surface 214 is used to guide the airflow. By making the surface of the anti-collision part 21 facing the air outlet 12 include a mating surface 214 for mating with the second end 32, the mating surface 214 can not only close the air outlet 12 by abutting with the second end 32, but also can be used to guide the airflow when the air guide plate 3 opens the air outlet 12, so that the airflow can flow through the air outlet 12 more smoothly under the guidance of the mating surface 214. When the housing assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, in the cooling mode of the air conditioner, the guiding effect of the mating surface 214 on the airflow can also improve the condensation problem of the air conditioner.

[0076] refer to Figure 23-Figure 25According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the mating surface 214 is formed as an arc-shaped surface protruding toward the air outlet 12. The anti-collision part 21 is formed with a hollow cavity 22 and the surface facing the air outlet 12 includes the mating surface 214. The formation of the hollow cavity 22 makes the structural rigidity and strength of the anti-collision part 21 low. The hollow cavity 22 is easy to be recessed in the direction away from the air outlet 12, so that the mating surface 214 is easy to be recessed toward the inside of the hollow cavity 22. By forming the mating surface 214 as an arc-shaped surface protruding toward the air outlet 12, the mating surface 214 has a good flat effect visually.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the anti-collision strip 2 is a rubber piece. By making the anti-collision strip 2 a rubber piece, the rubber piece has good elasticity and cushioning properties, and can effectively prevent the air guide plate 3 and the housing 1 from being worn due to collision, friction, etc. between the air guide plate 3 and the matching side wall 13 of the air outlet 12 during the process of the air guide plate 3 closing the air outlet 12 by rotating or during the transportation of the housing assembly 100.

[0078] refer to Figure 1-Figure 22 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the housing 1 includes a panel assembly 14 and an air outlet frame 15. The panel assembly 14 is connected to the front side of the air outlet frame 15. Two air outlets 12 located on the left and right sides of the panel assembly 14 are defined between the panel assembly 14 and the air outlet frame 15. The airflow entering the housing assembly 100 from the air inlet can flow out of the housing 1 through the two air outlets 12. The panel assembly 14 includes a panel 141 and a panel bracket 142. The panel bracket 142 is connected to the air outlet frame 15. The panel 141 is arranged on the front side of the panel bracket 142. The panel bracket 142 provides support for the panel 141 to improve the structural strength of the panel assembly 14. The side wall of the panel bracket 142 facing the air outlet 12 constitutes a matching side wall 13. By making the side wall of the panel bracket 142 facing the air outlet 12 form a matching side wall 13, the panel bracket 142 forms a supporting effect on the matching portion of the anti-collision strip 2 arranged on the matching side wall 13, so that the anti-collision strip 2 can be stably installed on the casing 1.

[0079] refer to Figure 1-Figure 10According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the anti-collision portion 21 is located at the rear side of the panel 141 and abuts against the panel 141, and the anti-collision strip 2 also includes an extension portion 23, which is connected to the front side of the anti-collision portion 21 and covers the side wall of the panel 141 facing the air outlet 12. By making the anti-collision portion 21 located at the rear side of the panel 141 and abutting against the panel 141, when the panel 141 is connected to the front side of the panel bracket 142, the anti-collision strip 2 can be limited in the front and rear directions, which is conducive to further improving the installation stability and reliability of the anti-collision strip 2; the anti-collision strip 2 is provided with the extension portion 23 connected to the front side of the anti-collision portion 21 and covers the side wall of the panel 141 facing the air outlet 12, so that the extension portion 23 can cover the installation gap between the panels 141 and the panels 141, thereby preventing users from observing the obvious gap between the panels 141 and the panels 141, resulting in poor visual effects.

[0080] Optionally, there is an angle between the extension portion 23 and the third anti-collision wall 213 of the anti-collision portion 21 , for example, the extension portion 23 and the third anti-collision portion 21 of the anti-collision portion 21 are at a right angle, so that the extension portion 23 can form a good covering effect on the panel 141 .

[0081] refer to Figure 1-Figure 25 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the anti-collision strip 2 further includes a positioning portion 24, the positioning portion 24 is connected to the side of the anti-collision portion 21 away from the air outlet 12, and the panel bracket 142 is provided with a positioning groove 1421, and the positioning portion 24 is inserted into the positioning groove 1421. By making the anti-collision strip 2 include the positioning portion 24, and the positioning groove 1421 is provided on the panel bracket 142, when the anti-collision strip 2 is installed on the panel bracket 142 of the casing 1, the anti-collision strip 2 and the panel bracket 142 can be relatively positioned with reference to the matching effect of the positioning portion 24 and the positioning groove 1421, so that the anti-collision strip 2 can be accurately installed; and the positioning portion 24 is inserted into the positioning groove 1421, so that the anti-collision strip 2 can be stably installed on the mounting bracket.

[0082] According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the positioning groove 1421 extends in the up-down direction, and the positioning groove 1421 passes through the top of the panel bracket 142 to form an insertion port 1422. The lower side of the positioning groove 1421 has a support and limit structure 1423, and the support and limit structure 1423 is used to support and limit the anti-collision strip 2. Among them, the first direction is consistent with the up-down direction, and the up-down direction can also refer to the direction e1 in the figure, and the insertion direction of the anti-collision strip 2 is from top to bottom. By making the positioning groove 1421 pass through the top of the panel bracket 142 to form an insertion port 1422, it is convenient to insert the positioning portion 24 into the positioning groove 1421 from top to bottom through the insertion port 1422. In addition, by making the lower side of the positioning groove 1421 have a supporting and limiting structure 1423, in the process of inserting the positioning portion 24 into the positioning groove 1421, the supporting and limiting structure 1423 can form a limiting effect on the positioning portion 24 to prevent the positioning portion 24 from excessive movement relative to the positioning groove 1421. After the positioning portion 24 is inserted into the positioning groove 1421, the supporting and limiting structure 1423 provides a supporting effect on the positioning portion 24, so that the positioning portion 24 can be stably supported in the positioning groove 1421 along the up and down directions; and the assembly relationship between the positioning groove 1421 and the positioning portion 24 is simple.

By connecting the connecting portion 25 between the first positioning portion 241 and the anti-collision portion 21, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the overall structure of the anti-collision strip 2, and the connecting portion 25 abuts against the panel 141 in the front-to-back direction, and the panel 141 further forms a limiting effect on the anti-collision strip 2, strengthening the relative fixed relationship between the anti-collision strip 2 and the device panel 141, which can effectively prevent the anti-collision strip 2 from shifting or falling off during use, and can also effectively prevent the first positioning portion 241 from being pulled out of the first positioning groove 1424.

[0084] According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, in the direction from front to back, the width of the first positioning portion 241 in the left-right direction increases. Among them, the front-to-back direction can refer to the direction e2 shown in the figure, and the left-to-right direction can refer to the direction e3 shown in the figure. By increasing the width of the first positioning portion 241 in the left-to-right direction in the direction from front to back, this structure is conducive to further improving the tight fit between the first positioning portion 241 and the first positioning groove 1424, and making it more difficult for the first positioning portion 241 to fall out of the gap between the panel 141 and the panel 141. The first positioning portion 241 forms a good anti-falling effect on the anti-collision strip 2, which is conducive to the stable installation of the anti-collision strip 2 on the panel bracket 142.

[0086] According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, a groove 251 is formed on the side of the connection portion 25 facing the panel 141. By forming the groove 251 on the side of the connection portion 25 facing the panel 141, the groove 251 forms a avoiding effect on the panel 141, so as to prevent the connection portion 25 of the anti-collision strip 2 from deforming due to abutting against the mounting structure on the panel bracket 142, and thus preventing the connection portion 25 from pressing against the panel 141, thereby causing the panel 141 to be assembled unevenly.

[0087] refer to Figure 24-25 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the portion of the connecting portion 25 located at the rear side of the groove 251 constitutes a groove bottom wall 2511, and the thickness of the groove bottom wall 2511 is d, and the thickness d is greater than 0.5 mm. For example, the thickness d can be 0.51 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.8 mm, etc.

[0088] If the thickness of the groove bottom wall 2511 is less than 0.5 mm, the structural strength of the groove bottom wall 2511 is insufficient, and deformation, cracking, etc. may occur easily. For example, when the anti-collision strip 2 is pulled by external force, the insufficient strength of the groove bottom wall 2511 may cause the connection part 25 to break, thereby damaging the anti-collision strip 2. By making the thickness of the groove bottom wall 2511 greater than 0.5 mm, the structural strength of the groove bottom wall 2511 is high, and a stable connection relationship can be formed between the anti-collision part 21 and the positioning part 24.

[0089] refer to Figure 1-Figure 25According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the positioning groove 1421 includes a second positioning groove 1425, the positioning portion 24 includes a second positioning portion 242, the second positioning groove 1425 is formed at the rear side of the panel bracket 142 and penetrates the matching side wall 13, and the second positioning portion 242 is accommodated in the second positioning groove 1425. By making the positioning groove 1421 include the second positioning groove 1425, it is beneficial to further improve the accuracy of the relative positioning relationship between the anti-collision strip 2 and the panel bracket 142, as well as the installation stability of the anti-collision strip 2; in addition, by making the second positioning groove 1425 penetrate the matching side wall 13, the second positioning groove 1425 is easier to insert into the second positioning portion 242, avoiding interference between the matching side wall 13 and the second positioning portion 242 to prevent the second positioning groove 1425 from being inserted into the second positioning portion 242.

[0090] In addition, a first positioning groove 1424 is formed on the front side of the panel bracket 142, and a second positioning groove 1425 is formed on the rear side of the panel bracket 142.
