DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] As mentioned in the above background technology: the ambient temperature sensor is one of the main accessories in the air conditioner, and the ambient temperature sensor is used to detect the indoor temperature.

[0035] In the related art, when the ambient temperature sensor is fixed to the air conditioner, a separate wire clip is required, and the ambient temperature sensor can be clamped on the evaporator of the air conditioner through the wire clip.

[0036] However, when using a wire clamp to fix the ambient temperature sensor, the wire clamp may fall off, posing certain quality risks.

[0037] Therefore, in order to improve or solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a fixing structure of an ambient temperature sensor and an air conditioner. In the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, the fixing structure of the ambient temperature sensor is achieved by setting a first card slot on the air duct housing, and the opening of the first card slot is arranged horizontally. When installing the ambient temperature sensor, the ambient temperature sensor is inserted into the first card slot, and the head of the ambient temperature sensor is abutted against the first card slot, so that the ambient temperature sensor is stably clamped in the first card slot, completing the installation of the ambient temperature sensor. Compared with using a wire clamp to fix the ambient temperature sensor, the present application improves the stability of the ambient temperature sensor installed on the air conditioner.

[0038] The technical solutions shown in the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can exist independently or in combination with each other, and the same or similar contents will not be described repeatedly in different embodiments.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a fixing structure of an ambient temperature sensor 400, including an air duct housing 100, and the air duct housing 100 has at least one first card slot 200, the opening of the first card slot 200 is arranged horizontally, and the first card slot 200 is configured to allow the ambient temperature sensor 400 to be inserted and abut against the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is clamped in the first card slot 200.

[0040] The ambient temperature sensor 400 is rod-shaped as a whole, and has a protrusion on its head.

[0041] Exemplarily, the number of first card slots 200 is set to one, and the first card slot 200 is generally U-shaped. When the ambient temperature sensor 400 is placed in the first card slot 200 in the vertical direction, the ambient temperature sensor 400 is embedded in the first card slot 200, and the protrusion on the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 abuts against the first card slot 200, so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is stably stuck in the first card slot 200 under the action of gravity.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first slot 200 is elastic, and when the ambient temperature sensor 400 is inserted into the first slot 200 , the first slot 200 is deformed so that the first slot 200 clamps the ambient temperature sensor 400 , thereby improving the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 when installed on the air conditioner.

[0043] Exemplarily, the first slot 200 is located on a side below the air duct housing 100 .

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a first card slot 200 on the air duct housing 100, the opening of the first card slot 200 is arranged horizontally, when installing the ambient temperature sensor 400, the ambient temperature sensor 400 is inserted into the first card slot 200, and the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is abutted against the first card slot 200, so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is stably clamped in the first card slot 200, completing the installation of the ambient temperature sensor 400. Compared with using a wire clamp to fix the ambient temperature sensor 400, the present application improves the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 installed on the air conditioner.

[0045] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the opening of the first slot 200 has a first protrusion 210 , and the first protrusion 210 is configured to restrict the ambient temperature sensor 400 from leaving the first slot 200 when the ambient temperature sensor 400 is located in the first slot 200 .

[0046] Exemplarily, the first slot 200 is elastic. When the ambient temperature sensor 400 is inserted into the first slot 200, the peripheral wall of the ambient temperature sensor 400 abuts against the first protrusion 210 to cause the first slot 200 to deform until the ambient temperature sensor 400 enters the first slot 200. At this time, the first protrusion 210 restricts the ambient temperature sensor 400 within the first slot 200.

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the first protrusion 210 , the ambient temperature sensor 400 is restricted in the first slot 200 , thereby improving the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 installed in the first slot 200 .

[0048] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air duct housing 100 has at least one second card slot 300 , the opening of the second card slot 300 is arranged horizontally, and the second card slot 300 is configured to allow the middle part of the ambient temperature sensor 400 to be inserted so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is clamped in the second card slot 300 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the number of the second card slots 300 is set to one, the second card slots 300 are arranged in a U-shape as a whole, and the peripheral wall of the middle part of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is at least partially embedded in the second card slot 300 .

[0050] Exemplarily, the second slot 300 is elastic, and when the ambient temperature sensor 400 is at least partially embedded in the second slot 300 , the second slot 300 is deformed so that the second slot 300 clamps the ambient temperature sensor 400 .

[0051] Exemplarily, the opening of the first card slot 200 and the opening of the second card slot 300 may be arranged opposite to each other or may be arranged opposite to each other.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the second card slot 300 , the middle part of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is limited, thereby improving the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 when installed on the air conditioner.

[0053] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall at the opening of the second slot 300 has a second protrusion 310 , and the second protrusion 310 is configured to restrict the ambient temperature sensor 400 from being separated from the second slot 300 when the middle part of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is located in the second slot 300 .

[0054] Exemplarily, the second slot 300 is elastic. When the ambient temperature sensor 400 is inserted into the second slot 300, the ambient temperature sensor 400 abuts against the second protrusion 310 to cause the second slot 300 to deform until the ambient temperature sensor 400 is completely located in the second slot 300. At this time, the second protrusion 310 restricts the ambient temperature sensor 400 from being separated from the second slot 300.

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the second protrusion 310 , the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 installed in the second slot 300 is improved.

[0056] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first card slot 200 is located above the second card slot 300 , so that the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is located above the first card slot 200 .

[0057] Exemplarily, the first card slot 200 is located directly above or obliquely above the second card slot 300 .

[0058] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ambient temperature sensor 400 is installed on the first card slot 200 and the second card slot 300, the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is located above the first card slot 200 and abuts against the first card slot 200, and the middle part of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is stuck in the second card slot 300, so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is stably installed on the first card slot 200 and the second card slot 300 under the action of gravity.

[0059] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the opening direction of the first card slot 200 is opposite to the opening direction of the second card slot 300.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the opening of the first slot 200 opposite to the opening of the second slot 300, the ambient temperature sensor 400 is prevented from being separated from the first slot 200 and the second slot 300 under the action of external force, thereby improving the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 installed on the air conditioner.

[0061] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first card slot 200 has a first mounting pad 220 therein, and the first mounting pad 220 is configured to abut against the peripheral wall of the ambient temperature sensor 400 .

[0062] Exemplarily, the first mounting pad 220 is an elastic pad, and the elastic pad covers the inner wall of the first slot 200 .

[0063] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the first installation pad 220 , the ambient temperature sensor 400 is prevented from having a hard contact with the first slot 200 , thereby preventing the ambient temperature sensor 400 from being damaged during the installation process.

[0064] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second card slot 300 has a second mounting pad 320 therein, and the second mounting pad 320 is configured to abut against the peripheral wall of the ambient temperature sensor 400 .

[0065] Exemplarily, the second mounting pad 320 is an elastic pad, and the elastic pad covers the inner wall of the second slot 300 .

[0066] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the second installation pad 320 , the ambient temperature sensor 400 is prevented from having a hard contact with the second slot 300 , thereby preventing the ambient temperature sensor 400 from being damaged during the installation process.

[0067] In some embodiments provided in the present application, illustratively, the first card slot 200 and the second card slot 300 are both integrally formed with the air duct housing 100 .

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution, the production cost of the fixing structure of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is reduced.

[0069] An embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner body and a fixing structure of any one of the ambient temperature sensors 400 in the above embodiments installed on the air conditioner body.

[0070] The fixing structure of the ambient temperature sensor 400 has been clearly disclosed in the above embodiments and will not be described again here.

[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a first card slot 200 on the air duct housing 100, the opening of the first card slot 200 is arranged horizontally, when installing the ambient temperature sensor 400, the ambient temperature sensor 400 is inserted into the first card slot 200, and the head of the ambient temperature sensor 400 is abutted against the first card slot 200, so that the ambient temperature sensor 400 is stably clamped in the first card slot 200, completing the installation of the ambient temperature sensor 400. Compared with using a wire clamp to fix the ambient temperature sensor 400, the present application improves the stability of the ambient temperature sensor 400 installed on the air conditioner.
