Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the fixing effect, current air conditioners usually use screws to fix the outer shell or plate body to the outside of the middle frame. The screws will pass through the through holes on the plate body and cooperate with the threaded holes on the middle frame. During the assembly process, since a large margin is usually reserved inside and outside the screws, it is difficult to accurately judge whether the screws are screwed in place to achieve a locked state. If the number of turns is not enough, the locking effect will be affected, and looseness or abnormal noise will occur. If the number of turns is too many, it will increase the difficulty of disassembly and even damage the internal thread structure. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] As disclosed in the background technology, the prior art generally requires that the outer plate be fixed to the middle frame by screws for air conditioners that are easy to disassemble and assemble. Therefore, it is only necessary to open screw holes on the middle frame and through holes on the locking member. The screws are passed through the through holes and assembled on the screw holes to fix the locking member. During the assembly process, since a large margin is usually reserved inside and outside the screws, it is difficult to accurately judge whether the screws are screwed in place to achieve a locked state. If the number of turns is not enough, the locking effect will be affected, and looseness or abnormal noise will occur. If the number of turns is too much, it will increase the difficulty of disassembly and even damage the internal thread structure.

[0032] The existing solution is usually manual tightening, relying on the experience of the assembler to determine whether it is tightened. This requires a high level of experience from the assembler, has poor consistency, and is difficult to truly tighten accurately while ensuring that it is locked and easy to disassemble.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a new type of air conditioner. In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] First embodiment

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an air conditioner 100, which can judge whether it is accurately tightened to reach the locking state through the light condition, so that the light-transmitting fixing member 150 can accurately reach the locking state, and it is convenient to disassemble while ensuring the locking.

[0036] The air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment includes a middle frame 110, a locking plate 130 and a light-transmitting fixing member 150. The middle frame 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111. One end of the locking plate 130 is hinged to the middle frame 110 and spaced apart from the mounting hole 111. The light-transmitting fixing member 150 is provided at the other end of the locking plate 130 and is threadedly assembled in the mounting hole 111 so that the other end of the locking plate 130 can be detachably connected to the middle frame 110. A light-emitting seat 170 is provided on the inner side of the mounting hole 111. The light-transmitting fixing member 150 contacts the light-emitting seat 170 after passing through the mounting hole 111, wherein the light-emitting seat 170 is used to illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 when contacting the light-transmitting fixing member 150.

[0037] In this embodiment, the hinged end of the lock plate 130 is connected to the rear of the middle frame 110, and the other end is connected to the front of the middle frame 110, so that it can be opened or locked from the front and rear directions, and the lock plate 130 is at least partially located outside the side end surface of the middle frame 110, and the movable parts inside the end surface of the middle frame 110 are locked and limited. Among them, the air conditioner 100 in this embodiment is suitable for an air conditioner, which also includes a cross-flow fan blade and a motor, and the cross-flow fan blade and the motor are both arranged in the middle frame 110. The cross-flow fan blade and the motor are a detachable transmission connection structure, wherein the movable parts on the middle frame 110 in this embodiment can be an end cap structure connected to the cross-flow fan blade or other parts that need to be disassembled. And the end surface of the middle frame 110 is also provided with an opening to facilitate the axial movement of the cross-flow fan blade to achieve assembly and disassembly with the motor. The lock plate 130 is arranged at the end of the middle frame 110, which can realize the locking effect on the opening, thereby realizing the position limitation of the cross-flow fan blade.

[0038] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, one end of the lock plate 130 is hinged to the rear of the middle frame 110, and the other end of the lock plate 130 is connected to the front of the middle frame 110, so that the movable part connected to the crossflow fan blade on the middle frame 110 can be locked to limit the position of the crossflow fan blade, and the mounting hole 111 is opened on the middle frame 110, and one end of the lock plate 130 is hinged to the middle frame 110, and the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is arranged at the other end of the lock plate 130 and threadedly assembled with the mounting hole 111, so that the other end of the lock plate 130 can be detachably connected to the middle frame 110. A light-emitting seat 170 is also arranged on the inner side of the mounting hole 111, and the light-transmitting fixing member 150 contacts the light-emitting seat 170 after passing through the mounting hole 111, and the light-emitting seat 170 can illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 when in contact with the light-transmitting fixing member 150. Since the light-emitting seat 170 is provided and the light-emitting seat 170 is located on the inner side of the mounting hole 111, on the one hand, the light-transmitting fixing member 150 can be limited, and on the other hand, the light-transmitting fixing member 150 can be illuminated after the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is tightened into place, so that the assembler can find out in time that the light-transmitting fixing member 150 reaches the locking state, avoid over-tightening of the light-transmitting fixing member 150, and enable the light-transmitting fixing member 150 to accurately reach the locking state, which facilitates disassembly while ensuring locking.

[0039] It should be noted that the light-emitting seat 170 in this embodiment is a fixed structure, and the mounting hole 111 is a threaded through hole. The light-emitting seat 170 is located in the middle frame 110 and on the inner side of the mounting hole 111. The light-transmitting fixing piece 150 can be a screw structure and can be threadedly matched with the mounting hole 111. In the process of tightening the light-transmitting fixing piece 150, the light-transmitting fixing piece 150 will move inward along the mounting hole 111 until it is abutted against the light-emitting seat 170. The light-emitting seat 170 will limit the light-transmitting fixing piece 150, and after the light-transmitting fixing piece 150 contacts and abuts against the light-emitting seat 170, the light-emitting seat 170 will emit light under the abutting action of the light-transmitting fixing piece 150, thereby illuminating the light-transmitting fixing piece 150, so that the assembler can visually perceive that the light-transmitting fixing piece 150 has been locked in place, which is more convenient for the assembler to accurately judge that the light-transmitting fixing piece 150 is locked in place.

[0040] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, locking plates 130 can be set at both ends of the middle frame 110 to lock and limit different movable parts on the middle frame 110. In this embodiment, the locking plate 130 at one end is used as an example for explanation.

[0041] See also Figure 4The light-emitting seat 170 includes a seat body 171 and a light-emitting element 173. The seat body 171 is connected to the middle frame 110 and extends to the inner side of the mounting hole 111. The light-emitting element 173 is arranged on the seat body 171 and corresponds to the mounting hole 111. The light-emitting element 173 is used to emit light under the pressing of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150. By setting the seat body 171, the light-emitting element 173 can be fixed and the position of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 can be limited. Moreover, the light-emitting element 173 emits light under the pressing of the light-transmitting fixing member 150, which can further ensure that the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is locked in place.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the seat body 171 is cantilevered and suspended in the middle frame 110. For example, the top of the seat body 171 can be connected to the middle frame 110, and the bottom end extends to correspond to the mounting hole 111. A receiving groove is provided at the bottom end of the seat body 171, and the light-emitting element 173 is assembled in the receiving groove and connected to other electrical components in the air conditioner through wires to realize power supply. In the present embodiment, the light-emitting element 173 can be a force-induced light-emitting device, which can emit light when it is under stress, and the light intensity is reduced or another color of light is emitted when it is not under stress. The principle of force-induced light-emitting can refer to the existing force-induced light-emitting materials. Alternatively, in some other preferred embodiments, force-induced light-emitting can also be achieved by combining a pressure sensor with an LED lamp bead.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the light-emitting element 173 has a first light-emitting state and a second light-emitting state that can be switched with each other. The light-emitting element 173 is used to enter the first light-emitting state under the pressure of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and emit light of the first color. The light-emitting element 173 is also used to enter the second light-emitting state after the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is detached and emit light of the second color. Specifically, the first light-emitting state is the state of the light-emitting element 173 after being compressed to a certain extent. For example, the light-emitting element 173 can emit red light after being compressed, and after illuminating the light-transmitting fixing member 150, the light-transmitting fixing member 150 also appears red. The second light-emitting state is the natural state of the light-emitting element 173 without force. For example, the light-emitting element 173 can emit green light when not under force, and after illuminating the light-transmitting fixing member 150, the light-transmitting fixing member 150 also appears green. In this embodiment, the light emitting element 173 is set to emit a first color and a second color of light depending on whether it is in contact, so that the light emitting element 173 can emit light of different colors respectively, which can better represent the locked and unlocked states, so that the assembler can better judge whether the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is locked in place. Of course, the first color and the second color are red and green respectively here for illustration only, and other different colors can also be used, which can be determined according to the specific structure of the light emitting element 173.

[0044] In other preferred embodiments of the utility model, the light-emitting element 173 has a first light-emitting state and a second light-emitting state that can be switched with each other. The light-emitting element 173 is used to enter the first light-emitting state under the compression of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and emit light of a first light intensity. The light-emitting element 173 is also used to enter the second light-emitting state after the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is detached and emit light of a second light intensity. Specifically, the first light intensity can be greater than the second light intensity. The first light-emitting state is the state after the light-emitting element 173 is compressed to a certain extent. For example, the light-emitting element 173 can emit stronger light after being compressed, and illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 to make the light-transmitting fixing member 150 brighter. The second light-emitting state is the natural state of the light-emitting element 173 without force. For example, the light-emitting element 173 can emit weaker light when not under force, and illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 to make the light-transmitting fixing member 150 relatively darker. Here, the light emitting element 173 is set to emit light of different intensities depending on whether it is in contact, which can also better represent the locked and unlocked states, so that the assembler can better judge whether the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is locked in place.

[0045] In other preferred embodiments of the utility model, the light-emitting element 173 can also be a component that simply emits light, that is, the light-emitting element 173 is in a constant light-emitting state. When the light-transmitting fixing part 150 does not contact the light-emitting element 173, since there is a certain distance between the two and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 173 will diffuse to the surroundings, the degree to which the light-transmitting fixing part 150 is illuminated by the light-emitting element 173 is relatively low, and the light-transmitting fixing part 150 is relatively dark. When the light-transmitting fixing part 150 contacts the light-emitting element 173, since it is in a resisting state, most of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 173 will be directed to the light-transmitting fixing part 150, so that the light-transmitting fixing part 150 is illuminated by the light-emitting element 173 to a high degree, and the light-transmitting fixing part 150 is relatively bright, which can also better represent the locked and unlocked states.

[0046] In the present embodiment, the light-transmitting fixture 150 is at least partially light-transmitting and has a light-transmitting column (not shown in the figure). One end of the light-transmitting column contacts the light-emitting element 173 after passing through the mounting hole 111, and the other end is exposed to the external space. Specifically, the center position of the light-transmitting column can be made of optical fiber material, and the optical fiber material axially penetrates the light-transmitting fixture 150 to form a light-transmitting column, which facilitates the light emitted by the light-emitting element 173 to be emitted outward from the light-transmitting column. By making the light-transmitting fixture 150 at least partially light-transmitting, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 173 can be transmitted to the external space through the light-transmitting column, which is convenient for the assembler to observe. Of course, the light-transmitting fixture 150 here can also be made of transparent material as a whole, such as transparent resin, so that the whole constitutes a light-transmitting column, and the light-transmitting effect is better.

[0047] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, a light-transmitting hole is provided on the light-transmitting fixing member 150, and the light-transmitting hole passes through the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and corresponds to the light-emitting element 173. Specifically, the light-transmitting hole is provided at the center of the light-transmitting fixing member 150, and the light-transmitting hole extends along the axis direction of the light-transmitting fixing member 150. By providing the light-transmitting hole on the light-transmitting fixing member 150, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 173 can be transmitted to the external space through the light-transmitting hole, which is convenient for the assembler to observe.

[0048] Further, see Figures 2 to 5 The locking plate 130 includes an integrally arranged locking section 131 and a fixed section 133. The locking section 131 is arranged on the side of the middle frame 110, and one end of the locking end is hinged on the middle frame 110. The fixed section 133 is connected to the other end of the locking section 131, and is bent relative to the locking section 131 and extends to the front side of the middle frame 110. The light-transmitting fixing member 150 is arranged at one end of the fixing section 133 away from the locking section 131. Specifically, the locking section 131 and the fixed section 133 form an L-shaped bending structure, that is, the locking section 131 and the fixed section 133 can be perpendicular to each other, and a transition bending structure is adopted at the bending. Here, the locking section 131 is used to realize the function of locking the movable part, and the fixed section 133 is used to realize the position fixing. The bending setting enables the fixed section 133 to be bent forward to the front side of the middle frame 110, which is convenient for directly twisting the fixing member from the front side during assembly or disassembly, which is very convenient. Furthermore, the use of a bent locking plate 130 can also increase the locking range and ensure the locking limit effect.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the rear portion of the middle frame 110 refers to the portion close to the wall after installation, and the front portion of the middle frame 110 refers to the portion close to the air outlet. In addition, the inner side of the middle frame 110 refers to the side close to the center of the crossflow fan blade, and the outer side of the middle frame 110 refers to the side close to the user.

[0050] Furthermore, a connecting rod can be provided on the inner side of the locking segment 131, and the connecting rod can be connected to the movable part on the middle frame 110, so that when the locking segment 131 is unlocked and opened, the movable part can be driven to move, so that when the lock plate 130 is opened, the movable part connected to the cross-flow fan blade can be pulled outward, thereby adjusting the position of the cross-flow fan blade and making the cross-flow fan blade lose contact with the motor, which is convenient for subsequent direct disassembly.

[0051] In this embodiment, a hinge sleeve 135 is further provided at one end of the locking section 131 away from the fixing section 133, a hinge shaft 113 is provided at the rear of the middle frame 110, and the hinge sleeve 135 extends into the rear of the middle frame 110 and is movably sleeved on the hinge shaft 113 to drive the locking section 131 and the fixing section 133 to rotate relative to the middle frame 110. Specifically, the size of the opening on the hinge sleeve 135 is adapted to the size of the hinge shaft 113, so as to ensure that the hinge sleeve 135 can rotate freely relative to the hinge shaft 113. By utilizing the coordinated arrangement of the hinge shaft 113 and the hinge sleeve 135, the locking plate 130 can be hinged, and the locking plate 130 can be rotated relative to the middle frame 110 under the action of an external force, thereby realizing the unlocking and locking actions on the one hand, and on the other hand, by separately arranging the hinge sleeve 135, the structural strength of the hinge position on the locking plate 130 can be improved, avoiding directly opening a hole on the locking section 131, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the locking plate 130.

[0052] In this embodiment, the hinge sleeve 135 protrudes inward relative to the locking section 131, and the locking section 131 is located outside the end surface of the middle frame 110. Specifically, the hinge sleeve 135 is integrally provided at one end of the locking section 131 and protrudes inward, so that the opening position on the hinge sleeve 135 is separated from the locking section 131 by a distance. The hinge sleeve 135 protrudes inward, so that the hinge sleeve 135 can be extended into the middle frame 110 while the locking section 131 is located outside the middle frame 110, thereby ensuring the parallel locking effect of the locking section 131 and avoiding interference between the locking section 131 and the middle frame 110.

[0053] In this embodiment, a receiving groove (not numbered in the figure) is further provided on the end surface of the middle frame 110, and the locking segment 131 is accommodated in the receiving groove. Specifically, the width of the receiving groove is adapted to the width of the locking segment 131, so as to ensure that the locking segment 131 can be accommodated in the receiving groove. By providing the receiving groove, on the one hand, the integrity of the outer end surface of the middle frame 110 can be ensured to avoid local protrusions, and on the other hand, the locking segment 131 can further avoid interference with the middle frame 110 during movement.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom edges of the locking section 131 and the fixing section 133 are provided with a reinforcing fold 115. Preferably, since the locking section 131 mainly plays a locking role and has force transmission with the movable parts, the reinforcing fold 115 can be provided on the bottom edge of the locking section 131, and the bottom edge of the fixing section 133 can be provided with a reinforcing fold 115 or not. By adding the reinforcing fold 115, the structural strength of the locking plate 130 can be improved, and the locking plate 130 and other components can be connected stably. At the same time, the reinforcing fold 115 is located at the bottom edge, so that a gap opening can be left at the top edge, which is convenient for manually pulling out the locking plate 130.

[0055] In this embodiment, an assembly hole 137 is provided at one end of the fixing section 133 away from the locking section 131, and a mounting sleeve 139 is provided inside the assembly hole 137. The mounting sleeve 139 is held against the front side of the middle frame 110 and corresponds to the mounting hole 111. The light-transmitting fixing member 150 passes through the assembly hole 137 and the mounting sleeve 139 in sequence and is threadedly connected with the mounting hole 111. By providing the mounting sleeve 139, on the one hand, the structural strength of the fixing section 133 can be improved, and on the other hand, a further limiting and fixing effect can be achieved on the light-transmitting fixing member 150, thereby ensuring the strength of the connection structure between the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and the fixing section 133.

[0056] It should be noted that the installation sleeve 139 is integrally arranged on the fixing section 133 , and in the locked state, the assembly hole 137 , the installation hole 111 and the installation sleeve 139 are concentrically arranged, which can ensure the concentric installation of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 .

[0057] It should also be noted that the setting of the mounting sleeve 139 here can also create a gap between the fixed section 133 and the front surface of the middle frame 110. The gap can form a shielding space, which is convenient for shielding the buttons on the front surface of the middle frame 110 and other parts that need to be hidden.

[0058] The light-transmitting fixing member 150 includes a nut 151 and a stud 153. The stud 153 is inserted into the assembly hole 137 and is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 111 after passing through the mounting sleeve 139. The nut 151 is arranged at one end of the stud 153 located outside the assembly hole 137, and a positioning head 155 is also arranged at one end of the stud 153 away from the nut 151. The diameter of the positioning head 155 is larger than the inner diameter of the assembly hole 137. By providing the positioning head 155, and the diameter of the positioning head 155 is larger than the inner diameter of the assembly hole 137, the light-transmitting fixing member 150 will not be completely disengaged from the assembly hole 137 when it is removed from the mounting hole 111. When disassembling, it is not necessary to remove the light-transmitting fixing member 150 separately for separate storage, thereby avoiding the loss of the light-transmitting fixing member 150 and improving the convenience of maintenance operations.

[0059] In summary, the present embodiment provides an air conditioner 100, wherein a mounting hole 111 is provided on a middle frame 110, one end of a locking plate 130 is hinged on the middle frame 110, a light-transmitting fixing member 150 is provided at the other end of the locking plate 130, and is threadedly assembled with the mounting hole 111, so that the other end of the locking plate 130 can be detachably connected to the middle frame 110, and a light-emitting seat 170 is further provided on the inner side of the mounting hole 111, and the light-transmitting fixing member 150 contacts the light-emitting seat 170 after passing through the mounting hole 111, and the light-emitting seat 170 can illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 when in contact with the light-transmitting fixing member 150. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment, by providing a light-emitting seat 170, can, on the one hand, limit the light-transmitting fixing member 150, and on the other hand, can illuminate the light-transmitting fixing member 150 after the light-transmitting fixing member 150 is tightened into place, so that the assembler can promptly find that the light-transmitting fixing member 150 has reached the locked state, avoid over-tightening the light-transmitting fixing member 150, and enable the light-transmitting fixing member 150 to accurately reach the locked state, thereby facilitating disassembly while ensuring locking.
