DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the utility model described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, for example.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0049] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", "front", "back", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship (if any) are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0050] The cabinet air conditioner in the prior art is used to cool the indoor air, so the indoor air needs to be transported to the air treatment module for treatment. In order to facilitate installation and maintenance, the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner usually includes a front panel, a rear panel and an air treatment module. The front panel and the rear panel are respectively provided with an air outlet grille and an air inlet grille. After the front panel and the rear panel are connected together by snapping, an air duct from the air inlet grille to the air outlet grille is formed inside. The air treatment module is located in the air duct to achieve air treatment.

[0051] In the above solution, when the front panel and the rear panel are clamped, the side walls of the front panel are smooth and there is no fulcrum, so the two ends of the front panel need to be clamped for installation. During the clamping process, the side walls of the front panel are thin and easily deformed under clamping, resulting in failure to clamp with the rear panel, which increases the difficulty of installation.

[0052] For the problems in the above solutions, the present application provides a fulcrum for the installation of the front panel by installing a handle assembly, thereby avoiding deformation of the front panel during the installation process, reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving assembly efficiency. The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure in which the air conditioner indoor unit provided in this application is installed on the cabinet-type indoor unit of the air conditioner. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the handle assembly in the air-conditioning indoor unit provided in this application being in the storage position. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the handle assembly in the air-conditioning indoor unit provided in this application in the operating position. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the handle slot in the air conditioner indoor unit provided in this application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the storage slot in the indoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this application.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an air conditioner indoor unit, comprising a front panel 100, a rear panel 200 and two handle assemblies 300, the two handle assemblies 300 are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the front panel 100, and the front panel 100 is moved by grasping the two handle assemblies 300, so that the front panel 100 is engaged with the rear panel 200. A mounting groove 110 is provided on the side wall of the front panel 100, and the handle assembly 300 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 110.

[0055] The handle assembly 300 is configured such that when the handle assembly 300 is rotated to the storage position, the handle assembly 300 is entirely located in the mounting groove 110 , and when the handle assembly 300 is rotated to the operating position, at least a portion of the handle assembly 300 is located outside the mounting groove 110 .

[0056] When assembling the front panel 100 and the rear panel 200 , it is only necessary to grasp the handle assemblies 300 at both ends to move the front panel 100 , thereby avoiding the situation in which the front panel 100 is directly pressed to cause its deformation.

[0057] When the front panel 100 and the rear panel 200 are snapped together, an air duct is formed inside, and the cooling module is located in the air duct.

[0058] The handle assembly 300 is located in the middle or one-third of the front panel 100 to facilitate the staff to grasp it.

[0059] The portion of the handle assembly 300 located outside the front panel 100 has a length of 9-11 cm, a width of 3-6 cm, and a height of 2-4 cm. The upper surface of the handle assembly 300 is used to place the air conditioner remote controller 400.

[0060] In this embodiment, a mounting hole is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove 110 , and mounting shafts are provided on both sides of the handle assembly 300 . The mounting shafts on both sides are inserted into the mounting holes so that the handle assembly 300 can rotate in the mounting groove 110 .

[0061] Among them, the notch of the installation groove 110 is parallel to the outer wall of the front panel 100, the storage position is the position when the outer surface of the handle assembly 300 is parallel to the outer wall of the front panel 100, and the operating position is the position when the outer surface of the handle assembly 300 is perpendicular to the outer wall of the front panel 100.

[0062] In the above solution, the handle assembly 300 is rotated and extended when in use, and can be rotated and hidden in the installation groove 110 when not in use, so as to prevent people from bumping into the handle assembly 300.

[0063] Furthermore, the length of the handle assembly 300 is the same as the length of the slot of the mounting slot 110 , so as to avoid a gap between the handle assembly 300 and the mounting plate, which would affect the appearance.

[0064] The bottom of the handle assembly 300 is arc-shaped to avoid motion interference between the handle assembly 300 and the limiting groove during rotation.

[0065] It should be noted that the upper surface of the handle assembly 300 hidden in the mounting groove 110 cannot be used to place the air conditioner remote controller 400 .

[0066] Combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the embodiment provided in the present application, the handle assembly 300 includes a handle block 310 , the handle block 310 includes a handle portion 311 , a handle groove 3111 is provided on the handle portion 311 , and the handle block 310 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 110 .

[0067] When the handle block 310 is rotated to the operating position, the handle portion 311 is located outside the mounting groove 110 , and the groove opening of the handle groove 3111 is directed downward.

[0068] During the rotation of the handle block 310 , only the handle portion 311 switches between the inside of the installation groove 110 and the outside of the installation groove 110 .

[0069] When the handle block 310 is rotated to the operating position, the handle groove 3111 is located on the lower surface of the handle portion 311. When holding the handle portion 311, fingers can be inserted into the handle groove 3111 to make the grip more secure.

[0070] Among them, the height of the handle groove 3111 is 1-2 cm, and the bottom and top corners of the handle groove 3111 are both rounded, which can effectively improve the comfort of holding.

[0071] In other embodiments, the handle groove 3111 may also be disposed on both sides of the groove wall of the handle portion 311 close to the installation groove 110 .

[0072] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the handle assembly 300 further includes a limiting rod 320 , the handle block 310 further includes a limiting portion 312 , a first limiting groove 3121 is provided on the side wall of the limiting portion 312 , and the limiting rod 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 110 .

[0073] The limiting rod 320 is configured such that when the handle block 310 is rotated to the operating position, the limiting rod 320 is snapped into the first limiting groove 3121 to lock the handle block 310 in the operating position.

[0074] The limiting rod 320 is horizontally arranged in the installation groove 110 , and at least one end of the limiting rod 320 is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the installation groove 110 .

[0075] After the handle block 310 is rotated to the operating position, it will be affected by gravity and move to the storage position. Therefore, the static friction between the groove wall in the first limiting groove 3121 and the limiting rod 320 enables the handle block 310 to overcome the influence of gravity and remain in the operating position, which is convenient for use when installing the front panel 100.

[0076] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the handle assembly 300 also includes a limit block 330, an iron sheet 340 and a magnet 350. The limit block 330 is arranged at the slot of the mounting slot 110, the iron sheet 340 is arranged on the limit block 330, a second limit slot 3122 is arranged on the side wall of the limit portion 312 opposite to the first limit slot 3121, and the magnet 350 is arranged in the second limit slot 3122.

[0077] The magnet 350 is configured such that when the handle block 310 rotates to the storage position, the limit block 330 abuts against the second limit groove 3122, and the magnet 350 and the iron sheet 340 are attracted to lock the handle block 310 in the storage position.

[0078] The limit block 330 is arranged above the slot of the installation slot 110, and the iron sheet 340 is arranged on the side wall of the limit block 330 close to the installation slot 110. When the handle block 310 is rotated to the storage position, the limit block 330 is just clamped into the second limit slot 3122.

[0079] Since the handle block 310 is less affected by weight when it is located at the storage position, the handle block 310 can be fixed at the storage position only by the attraction between the magnet 350 and the iron sheet 340 .

[0080] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the first limiting groove 3121 is U-shaped, and the second limiting groove 3122 is L-shaped.

[0081] The U-shaped first limiting groove 3121 can provide the maximum static friction between it and the first limiting groove 3121. The L-shaped second limiting groove 3122 can fit it with the limiting block 330, reducing the gap between the second limiting groove 3122 and the limiting block 330 to avoid affecting the appearance.

[0082] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the limiting rod 320 is an iron rod. Through the attraction between the iron rod and the magnet 350, the influence of gravity on the handle block 310 is further reduced.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment provided in the present application, a storage groove 3112 is provided on the side wall of the handle portion 311 opposite to the handle groove 3111 .

[0084] The angle between the storage slot 3112 and the outer surface of the handle portion 311 is 30-60 degrees.

[0085] When the handle block 310 is located at the storage position, the storage slot 3112 is used to place the air conditioner remote controller 400.

[0086] The air conditioner provided in the present application includes an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit as described above that is connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit.
