[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present disclosure provides a cover for an air conditioner, comprising: a shell 10; an air inlet grille 20, which is arranged on the shell 10; wherein a slide 30 is formed between the air inlet grille 20 and the shell 10, and a guide structure 40 is provided on the side of the air inlet grille 20 facing the slide 30, through which the filter can slide smoothly into or out of the slide 30.

[0047] With the cover shell for the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a slide 30 is formed between the shell 10 and the air inlet grille 20, and a guide structure 40 is provided on the side of the air inlet grille 20 facing the slide 30. In this way, when installing or removing the filter, the filter can slide smoothly into or out of the slide 30 through the guiding effect of the guide structure 40, thereby avoiding the filter from getting stuck, and making it convenient for users to install and remove the filter.

[0048] In the existing air conditioner indoor unit, when the filter is installed on the cover, the installation is not smooth due to the problem of jamming, so it cannot be installed in place at one time. In a faster production process, the filter cannot be installed quickly, which affects work efficiency. Here, jamming often occurs, especially when the filter opening is facing the front and the filter stroke is long. For this reason, most of the existing technologies design the filter opening to be large enough and as close to the air inlet grille as possible, so as to shorten the stroke to the greatest extent.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiment, the filter is arranged at the air inlet of the air conditioner to filter dust, impurities, etc. at the air inlet of the air conditioner. A slideway 30 is formed between the air inlet grille 20 and the housing 10. The filter can slide on the slideway 30. Here, the air inlet grille 20 is an uneven surface, so during the installation of the filter, the air inlet grille 20 will hinder the movement of the filter.

[0050] In the disclosed embodiment, the air inlet grille 20 is provided with a guide structure 40 on the side facing the slide 30, that is, during the installation of the filter, one end of the filter extends into the slide 30, and the filter can slide smoothly into the slide 30 through the guidance of the guide structure 40. When the filter is removed, the filter can also slide smoothly out of the slide 30 through the guidance of the guide structure 40.

[0051] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the air inlet grille 20 is composed of a plurality of transverse bars 21 , the guide structure 40 is connected between adjacent transverse bars 21 .

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, the air inlet grille 20 includes a plurality of transverse bars 21, and an air inlet channel is formed between the plurality of transverse bars 21, and wind can enter the air conditioner from the air inlet channel. A guide structure 40 is provided between adjacent transverse bars 21. In this way, the adjacent transverse bars 21 can be connected by the guide structure 40. During the installation of the filter, the guide structure 40 can prevent the end of the filter from abutting against the transverse bars 21 of the air inlet grille 20, thereby avoiding jamming and stagnation.

[0053] In the disclosed embodiment, the air inlet grille 20 is located in the upper area of ​​the housing 10, and the movement path of the filter can be limited by the slide 30. The first end side of the filter is fixed to the side of the air inlet grille 20. A frame is also provided on the front of the housing 10, and the second end side of the filter is fixed to the side of the frame. A plurality of buckles 12 are provided on the side of the frame.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, during the installation of the filter, the first end of the filter is first inserted into the bottom of the slide 30 along the slide 30 and fixed to the bottom of the slide 30, and then the first end of the filter is directly fixed to the buckle 12, thereby fixing the filter.

[0055] In the disclosed embodiment, during the process of removing the filter, the buckle 12 is first opened so that the second end side of the filter is the movable end, and then the filter is slid out along the slide 30 to achieve the removal of the filter.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide structure 40 is a connecting strip 41 , and the connecting strip 41 and the transverse strip 21 form a first sliding surface 411 .

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air inlet grille 20 is composed of multiple transverse bars 21, the guide structure 40 is connected between adjacent transverse bars 21. In order to enable the multiple transverse bars 21 to form a flat sliding surface, the guide structure 40 adopts a connecting bar 41, so that the connecting bar 41 can connect each transverse bar 21 together to form a first sliding surface 411.

[0058] In the disclosed embodiment, the filter screen can slide on the first sliding surface 411, so that the filter screen can slide smoothly in the slideway 30. The connecting strip 41 is also connected to the gap between the transverse strip 21 and the housing 10, so as to further ensure the formation of a flat first sliding surface 411.

[0059] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the planes of the transverse strip 21 and the connecting strip 41 facing the slide 30 are flush with each other, which not only can provide a vertical guide for the installation of the filter, but also can prevent the filter from deforming and interfering with the transverse strip 21 or the connecting strip 41.

[0060] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, when the air inlet grille 20 has a plurality of vertical ribs 22 , the guide structure 40 is disposed inside the vertical ribs 22 .

[0061] In the disclosed embodiment, the air inlet grille 20 has a plurality of vertical ribs 22, and an air inlet channel is formed between the plurality of vertical ribs 22, and wind can enter the air conditioner from the air inlet channel. The guide structure 40 is disposed inside the vertical ribs 22. In this way, the filter screen can be guided by the guide structure 40. During the installation of the filter screen, the guide structure 40 on the vertical ribs 22 can abut against the end surface of the filter screen, thereby avoiding jamming and stagnation.

[0062] In the disclosed embodiment, the first end of the vertical rib 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the air inlet of the housing 10, the second end of the vertical rib 22 is fixedly connected to the other side of the air inlet of the housing 10, and a plurality of vertical ribs 22 are arranged side by side, and a guide structure 40 is respectively arranged on the inner side of each vertical rib 22. In this way, the plurality of guide structures 40 provide a guide function for the filter screen.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide structure 40 is a guide rib 42 , and a plurality of guide ribs 42 form a second sliding surface 421 .

[0064] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air inlet grille 20 is composed of multiple vertical ribs 22, the guide structure 40 is arranged on the inner side of the vertical ribs 22, wherein, in order to enable the multiple guide structures 40 to form a flat sliding surface, the guide structure 40 adopts guide ribs 42, so that the multiple guide ribs 42 can form a second sliding surface 421.

[0065] In the disclosed embodiment, the filter screen can slide on the second sliding surface 421, so that the filter screen can slide smoothly in the slideway 30. The guide rib 42 is an arc-shaped protrusion structure, which is arranged on the vertical rib 22, that is, the number of the arc-shaped protrusions is the same as the number of the vertical ribs 22. In addition, the length of the arc-shaped protrusion matches the length of the vertical rib 22, and the cross-section of the arc-shaped protrusion is an arched structure.

[0066] During the movement of the filter, the filter contacts the uppermost part of the arc-shaped protrusion, which greatly reduces the contact area compared to the contact with the ribs. This not only provides support, but also enables the filter to slide smoothly in the slide 30, preventing the filter stack from getting stuck in the slide 30.

[0067] In the disclosed embodiment, the cross section of the slideway 30 is a curved structure, so that the filter screen can be ensured to always be in contact with the second sliding surface 421, and the filter screen can be fully opened.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiment, when the air conditioner is in cooling operation, the air outlet of the air conditioner may experience uneven heating and cooling, which may easily cause condensation.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 has an air outlet 11, and a plurality of condensation structures 50 are arranged at the air outlet 11. In this way, condensation can be effectively avoided at the air outlet 11.

[0070] The existing air outlet 11 is generally provided with a transverse anti-condensation structure, which is arranged along the edge of the air outlet 11. In this way, after falling into the anti-condensation structure, it will gather to one side, thereby forming larger condensation and dripping from the edge.

[0071] In the disclosed embodiment, multiple sections of condensation structure 50 are provided at the air outlet 11, so that each section of condensation structure 50 can collect condensation separately, and can prevent condensation from multiple locations from flowing and converging in one direction, thereby preventing large condensation from being easily formed and dripping from the edge.

[0072] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the condensation structure 50 is a groove body 51 arranged along the edge of the air outlet 11, and each groove body 51 is independent of each other.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, a plurality of segmented condensation structures 50 are provided at the lower edge of the air outlet 11. The condensation structures 50 are grooves 51, each groove 51 is independently provided and is provided along the edge of the air outlet 11, so that the condensation generated at the air outlet 11 can be collected to the greatest extent.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, after condensation is generated at the air outlet 11, it will flow into each slot 51 closest to the air outlet 11. Since each slot 51 is independently arranged, all condensation will no longer gather between the slots 51. Therefore, smaller condensation will be generated, and as time goes by, the smaller condensation will evaporate. Here, even if larger condensation is generated in the slot 51, along the direction of the slot 51 arranged from top to bottom, the larger condensation will flow into the slot 51 below, and will not drip directly to the ground, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing may fall during transportation and may be damaged during installation, especially at the inner root, the clamping position or the screw hole position of the housing. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing screw slots 60 are further provided on the housing 10 .

[0076] In the disclosed embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing screw slots 60 are provided on the housing 10, and other electrical components are connected through the reinforcing screw slots 60. Here, the reinforcing screw slots 60 and the housing 10 are an integral structure, and at the same time, some of the reinforcing screw slots 60 are designed as suspended holes for the convenience of connection with the electrical components.

[0077] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the groove walls of the reinforcing screw groove hole 60 are connected by rounded corners 61, and the groove bottom of the reinforcing screw groove hole 60 has a reinforcing surface 62.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to make the reinforcing screw slot hole 60 have a certain strength, when the reinforcing screw slot hole 60 is a square screw hole, the slot walls of the reinforcing screw slot hole 60 are connected by rounded corners 61. On this basis, the bottom of the reinforcing screw slot hole 60 has a reinforcing surface 62, and the height of the reinforcing surface 62 is higher than the bottom surface of the bottom of the reinforcing screw slot hole 60, so that the bottom of the reinforcing screw slot hole 60 has a certain thickness, thereby ensuring strength.

[0079] An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an air conditioner, comprising a cover for the air conditioner as described in the above embodiment.

[0080] In the disclosed embodiment, the air conditioner includes the cover for the air conditioner in the above embodiment. Therefore, referring to the above embodiment, at least the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above embodiment are possessed, which will not be described one by one here.
