[0044] Through this structural setting, a locking body 100 is set on the module box 410, and a limiting guide body and a locking groove body 300 are set on the module frame 420. A locking hole 310 is set on the locking groove body 300. In the process of inserting the module box 410 into the module frame 420, the limiting guide structure 200 can guide the locking body 100 to move and lock in the locking hole 310 on the locking groove. The locking operation between the module box 410 and the module frame 420 can be achieved during the insertion operation of the module box 410. As a result, not only can the connection reliability between the module box 410 and the module frame 420 be improved, but also the convenience of the locking operation between the module box 410 and the module frame 420 can be ensured.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the locking body 100 includes a base 110 , a slider 120 and a locking protrusion 130 .

[0046] The slider 120 is slidably connected to the base 110 . The locking protrusion 130 is connected to the slider 120 . The position limiting guide structure 200 can guide the slider 120 to move and lock the locking protrusion 130 in the locking hole 310 .

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the position limiting guide structure 200 includes a platform section 210 and a slope section 220 .

[0048] One end of the platform section 210 is connected to the side wall of the module frame 420, and the other end of the platform section 210 is connected to the slope section 220. The slope section 220 can guide the slider 120 to move to the platform section 210. The locking slot 300 is located above the platform section 210.

[0049] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the module frame 420 is a rectangular frame structure. A groove is provided on the entrance side wall of the module frame 420. A limit guide structure 200 and a lock groove body 300 are provided on the groove wall of the groove. The limit guide structure 200 is provided on the lower side of the lock groove body 300. In the limit guide body, the platform section 210 is provided along the horizontal direction, one end of which is connected to the groove wall of the groove, and the other end is connected to one end of the ramp section 220. Figure 1 In the direction shown, the other end of the ramp section 220 is inclined in an oblique downward direction. The lock slot body 300 is horizontally arranged above the limiting guide body, and a locking hole 310 is provided on the lock slot body 300. The base 110 is connected to the module box 410. The slider 120 is slidably connected to the base 110, and the slider 120 can move in a vertical direction. A locking protrusion 130 is provided on the upper side of the slider 120. In the process of inserting the module box 410 into the module frame 420, the slider 120 can slide from the ramp section 220 to the platform section 210, and the locking protrusion 130 is inserted and locked in the locking hole 310.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, an elastic wavy track 111 is provided on the base 110. The slider 120 is slidably connected to the elastic wavy track 111. The elastic wavy track 111 can squeeze the slider 120 to move automatically.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the slider 120 moves to the platform section 210, there is a gap between the locking protrusion 130 and the locking hole 310. The elastic wave-shaped track 111 can squeeze the slider 120 to drive the locking protrusion 130 to move and lock in the locking hole 310.

[0052] For example, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, an elastic wavy track 111 is provided on the base 110 along the vertical direction. The slider 120 is slidably connected to the elastic wavy track 111. When the slider 120 slides to the inner convex section, i.e., the position where the distance between the two track side walls is relatively small, the elastic wavy track 111 can form an extrusion effect on the track, so that the slider 120 can automatically slide to the outer concave section, i.e., the position where the distance between the two track side walls is relatively large. The locking slot body 300 is located above the platform section 210, and the locking hole 310 on the locking slot body 300 is also located above the platform section 210. When the slider 120 slides from the slope section 220 to the platform section 210, the locking protrusion 130 is located at a distance below the locking hole 310, and the slider 120 should be in the inner convex section of the elastic wavy track 111. Under the action of the elastic extrusion force, the slider 120 can slide up to the outer concave section of the elastic wavy track 111. At this time, the locking protrusion 130 can be inserted and locked in the locking hole 310. In this way, the locking operation between the module box 410 and the module frame 420 is completed.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, a manual shifting block 121 is disposed on one side of the slider 120 close to the outside of the module box 410 . The manual shifting block 121 can drive the slider 120 to slide along the elastic wavy track 111 .

[0054] When the module box 410 needs to be disassembled, the manual shifting block 121 is manually shifted downward to separate the locking protrusion 130 from the locking hole 310. At the same time, the module box 410 is pulled outward.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 110 is connected to the module box 410 via fasteners.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, a positioning column 112 is further provided on the base 110 . The positioning column 112 is used to be positioned and connected with the positioning hole on the module box 410 .

[0057] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, an elastic gasket is provided between the fastener and the base 110 .

[0058] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a positioning column 112 is provided on one side of the base 110 close to the module box 410, and a positioning hole is provided on the module box 410. The positioning column 112 can be inserted and positioned in the positioning hole. In addition, the base 110 and the module box 410 are both provided with connecting holes, and the base 110 is connected to the module box 410 through fasteners such as screws passing through the connecting holes. In order to improve the connection reliability, an elastic gasket can also be installed between the connecting hole and the fastener.

[0059] The second embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising a module box 410, a module frame 420 and the air conditioner plug-in module locking device as described above. The module box 410 is connected to the module frame 420 through the air conditioner plug-in module locking device.

[0060] For example, the module box 410 may be a water tank or a filter body, and the module frame 420 may be a water tank mounting frame or a filter mounting frame.

[0061] Furthermore, in the air conditioner provided by the utility model, since it includes the plug-in module locking structure for air conditioning as described above, it also has the advantages as described above.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it.
