[0039] 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.

[0040] At present, the air inlet grille is an important component of the embedded air conditioner. The indoor air enters the indoor unit of the air conditioner under the guidance of the air inlet grille, undergoes heat exchange through the evaporator, and is blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner to form an indoor air flow circulation. The air inlet grille is usually equipped with a filter to filter out large particles of dust and impurities entering the air conditioner. Therefore, after the air inlet grille has been working for a long time, the filter needs to be replaced regularly, and the air inlet grille also needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly, which requires the air inlet grille to be removed from the indoor unit.

[0041] The related technology designs the air inlet grille and the indoor unit to be detachably connected. The detachable connection is fixed with screws and returned to its original position with a spring. When the air inlet grille needs to be cleaned and maintained, or the filter needs to be replaced, the air inlet grille can be removed by adjusting the detachable connection such as a lever. When the air inlet grille is installed back into the indoor unit, the spring pushes the lever back to complete the installation of the air inlet grille.

[0042] The method adopted by the related technology is relatively complicated and costly. In addition, if the spring is rusted, it may break and fail, making the detachable connector unable to be used normally, resulting in low disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air inlet grille.

[0043] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shell assembly of an air-conditioning indoor unit, including a panel 1, an air inlet grille 2 and a lever 3.

[0044] The panel 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11; the air inlet grille 2 is provided at the mounting hole 11, the air inlet grille 2 defines an air inlet 21, and the air inlet grille 2 is provided with an elastic matching portion 22; the lever 3 includes a lever body 31, a first connecting portion 32, a second connecting portion 33 and an elastic portion 34, the first connecting portion 32, the second connecting portion 33 and the elastic portion 34 are all provided on the lever body 31, the first connecting portion 32 is connected to the air inlet grille 2, the second connecting portion 33 is detachably connected to the panel 1, the elastic portion 34 matches with the elastic matching portion 22, when the second connecting portion 33 is separated from the panel 1, the elastic portion 34 and / or the elastic matching portion 22 are deformed to be able to drive the second connecting portion 33 to reset.

[0045] The housing assembly of the indoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, and the lever 3 is arranged between the air inlet grille 2 and the panel 1 to realize the detachability of the air inlet grille 2. The first connection portion 32 of the lever 3 is connected to the air inlet grille 2, and the second connection portion 33 is connected to the panel 1. When the air inlet grille 2 needs to be removed from the panel 1, the end of the lever body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1, so that the elastic portion 34 is matched with the elastic matching portion 22, so that the second connection portion 33 is separated from the panel 1, and the air inlet grille 2 is separated from the panel 1. When the air inlet grille 2 needs to be installed on the panel 1, the air inlet grille 2 is placed at the installation hole 11, and the end of the lever body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1, and the elastic portion 34 and / or the elastic matching portion 22 are elastically deformed, driving the second connection portion 33 to be connected to the panel 1 again, so that the air inlet grille 2 is installed.

[0046] Compared with the related art, the use of screws to fix the lever 3 and the use of springs to return the lever 3 are avoided, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and simplifying the process of detachable connection between the air inlet grille 2 and the panel 1, making the disassembly and assembly between the air inlet grille 2 and the panel 1 more convenient and quick, and improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air inlet grille 2, thereby improving the cleaning and maintenance efficiency of the air inlet grille 2 or the replacement efficiency of the filter.

[0047] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one of the elastic portion 34 and the elastic matching portion 22 includes a connecting rod 341 , and the other of the elastic portion 34 and the elastic matching portion 22 includes a hole 221 . The connecting rod 341 is disposed in the hole 221 and can be deformed relative to the hole 221 .

[0048] Specifically, the elastic portion 34 may include a connecting rod 341, and the elastic matching portion 22 may include a hole 221, that is, the lever 3 is provided with a connecting rod 341, the air inlet grille 2 is provided with a hole 221, the connecting rod 341 of the lever 3 is provided in the hole 221 of the air inlet grille 2, and can be deformed relative to the hole 221, and in the process of deformation, the connection or separation between the second connecting portion 33 and the panel 1 is achieved; the elastic portion 34 may also include a hole 221, and the elastic matching portion 22 may include a connecting rod 341, that is, the lever 3 is provided with a hole 221, the air inlet grille 2 is provided with a connecting rod 341, the connecting rod 341 of the air inlet grille 2 is provided in the hole 221 of the lever 3, and can be deformed relative to the hole 221, and in the process of deformation, the connection or separation between the second connecting portion 33 and the panel 1 is achieved.

[0049] The present application takes the elastic part 34 including the connecting rod 341 and the elastic matching part 22 including the hole 221 as an example, that is, the lever 3 is provided with the connecting rod 341 and the air inlet grille 2 is provided with the hole 221. In the process of removing the air inlet grille 2 from the panel 1, the end of the rod body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1, so that the connecting rod 341 is deformed relative to the hole 221, so that the lever 3 moves toward the direction away from the panel 1, and the second connecting part 33 is separated from the panel 1, so that the air inlet grille 2 is removed. In the process of installing the air inlet grille 2 to the panel 1, the air inlet grille 2 is placed at the installation hole 11, and the end of the rod body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1, so that the connecting rod 341 is deformed relative to the hole 221, so that the second connecting part 33 first moves away from the panel 1 and then moves closer to the panel 1, so that the second connecting part 33 is connected to the panel 1, so as to complete the installation of the air inlet grille 2. The cooperation between the connecting rod 341 and the hole 221 enables the second connecting portion 33 to be connected to or separated from the panel 1 , so as to realize a detachable connection between the air inlet grille 2 and the panel 1 .

[0050] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple elastic parts 34 , and the multiple elastic parts 34 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the second connecting part 33 ; and / or the elastic part 34 and the second connecting part 33 are arranged on the same side of the first connecting part 32 .

[0051] Specifically, when the plurality of elastic portions 34 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the second connection portion 33, when the air inlet grille 2 is disassembled, in the process of pushing the lever 3, the elastic portions 34 on both sides of the second connection portion 33 are elastically deformed at the same time, so that the forces acting on both sides of the second connection portion 33 are the same, which can make the separation and connection process of the second connection portion 33 relative to the panel 1 smoother and the reconnection more accurate, so that the installation effect of the air inlet grille 2 is better.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the first connection part 32 includes a rotating shaft 321, and the air inlet grille 2 is provided with an axis hole 23, or the first connection part 32 includes an axis hole 23, and the air inlet grille 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 321; the rotating shaft 321 is provided in the axis hole 23 and can rotate relative to the axis hole 23, so that the first connection part 32 is rotationally connected to the air inlet grille 2.

[0053] The first connection portion 32 may include a rotating shaft 321, the air inlet grille 2 may be provided with an axial hole 23, the rotating shaft 321 may be provided in the axial hole 23, and may be rotatable relative to the axial hole 23; or the first connection portion 32 may include an axial hole 23, the air inlet grille 2 may be provided with a rotating shaft 321, the rotating shaft 321 may be provided in the axial hole 23, and may be rotatable relative to the axial hole 23, so that the first connection portion 32 may be rotatably connected to the air inlet grille 2.

[0054] The present application takes the example that the first connection part 32 includes a rotating shaft 321 and the air inlet grille 2 is provided with an axial hole 23. In the process of removing the air inlet grille 2 from the panel 1, the end of the rod body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1, so that the connecting rod 341 is deformed relative to the hole 221. At this time, the rotating shaft 321 of the first connection part 32 rotates relative to the axial hole 23 of the air inlet grille 2, so that the end of the lever 3 close to the second connection part 33 moves toward the direction away from the panel 1, so that the second connection part 33 is separated from the panel 1, so that the air inlet grille 2 is removed.

[0055] During the process of installing the air inlet grille 2 to the panel 1, the air inlet grille 2 is placed at the installation hole 11, and one end of the rod body 31 close to the air inlet grille 2 is pushed toward the direction close to the panel 1. At this time, the rotating shaft 321 of the first connecting part 32 rotates relative to the shaft hole 23 of the air inlet grille 2, so that the connecting rod 341 is elastically deformed relative to the hole 221, so that the second connecting part 33 moves away from the panel 1 first and then moves closer to the panel 1, so as to achieve the connection between the second connecting part 33 and the panel 1, so as to complete the installation of the air inlet grille 2. The coordinated rotation of the rotating shaft 321 and the shaft hole 23 can make the first connecting part 32 rotatably connected to the air inlet grille 2, so as to achieve the separation and connection between the second connecting part 33 and the panel 1.

[0056] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 321 includes a first surface 322 and a second surface 323, the second surface 323 is arranged opposite to the first surface 322, and the first surface 322 and the second surface 323 are arranged in sequence along the direction in which the rotating shaft 321 is inserted into the shaft hole 23; wherein the second surface 323 is provided with a guide slope 324, and along the direction in which the rotating shaft 321 is inserted into the shaft hole 23, the guide slope 324 is inclined in a direction away from the shaft hole 23.

[0057] The setting of the guide slope 324 can make the lever 3 more smoothly connected to the air inlet grille 2 through the first connection part 32, avoiding damage to the lever 3 or the air inlet grille 2 during the connection process. The above embodiment mentioned that the rotating shaft 321 is arranged in the shaft hole 23 and can rotate relative to the shaft hole 23. When the lever 3 is installed on the air inlet grille 2, the rotating shaft 321 needs to be installed in the shaft hole 23. The number of the rotating shafts 321 and the shaft hole 23 are both multiple. The multiple rotating shafts 321 are respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the second connection part 33. The multiple shaft holes 23 are arranged opposite to the multiple rotating shafts 321. Generally speaking, the distance between the two rotating shafts 321 on the two opposite sides of the second connection part 33 is equal to the distance between the two shaft holes 23 opposite to the air inlet grille 2. The distances between them are equal, the lever 3 can be made of a material with a certain deformation ability, the rotating shaft 321 on one side is first inserted into the shaft hole 23 on the corresponding side, and then the rotating shaft 321 on the other side is inserted into the shaft hole 23 on the corresponding side. During this process, the shaft hole 23 contacts the guiding inclined surface 324, and the guiding inclined surface 324 is inclined away from the direction of the shaft hole 23 along the direction in which the rotating shaft 321 is inserted into the shaft hole 23, which can guide the rotating shaft 321 to move in the direction of inserting into the shaft hole 23, so that the process of inserting the rotating shaft 321 into the shaft hole 23 is smoother.

[0058] Alternatively, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a deformation enhancement structure 311 is provided on the rod body 31 corresponding to the first connection portion 32 to enhance the deformation capability of the first connection portion 32 on the rod body 31 .

[0059] The above embodiment mentioned that the distance between the two rotating shafts 321 on the opposite sides of the second connecting portion 33 is equal to the distance between the two shaft holes 23 opposite to the air inlet grille 2. The lever 3 needs to be made of a material with a certain deformation ability so that the rotating shaft 321 can be inserted into the shaft hole 23 more smoothly. When a deformation reinforcement structure 311 is provided at a position corresponding to the first connection portion 32, that is, the rotating shaft 321, on the rod body 31, when the rotating shaft 321 needs to be inserted into the shaft hole 23, a force can be applied to the deformation reinforcement structure 311, so that the deformation reinforcement structures 311 corresponding to the rotating shafts 321 on both sides are deformed, so that the deformation reinforcement structures 311 on both sides move in a direction away from the corresponding shaft hole 23. The rotating shaft 321 itself has a certain length, and a certain installation space is generated between the deformed deformation reinforcement structure 311 and the corresponding shaft hole 23. The installation space can accommodate the length of the rotating shaft 321 itself, so that the rotating shaft 321 can be more easily installed in the shaft hole 23. After installation, the force applied to the deformation reinforcement structure 311 is withdrawn, so that the deformation reinforcement structure 311 is restored to its initial state, so as to carry out subsequent disassembly and assembly of the air inlet grille 2.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the deformation enhancement structure 311 includes a notch 312 .

[0061] The above embodiment mentioned that the lever 3 itself is made of a material with a certain deformation ability. When a notch 312 is provided on the lever body 31 corresponding to the first connecting portion 32, a force is applied to the side wall of the notch 312 close to the shaft hole 23, so that the side wall of the notch 312 close to the shaft hole 23 moves toward the notch 312 away from the shaft hole 23, so that a certain installation space can be generated between the notch 312 and the shaft hole 23. The installation space can accommodate the length of the rotating shaft 321 itself, so that the rotating shaft 321 can be more easily installed in the shaft hole 23. The present application does not limit the shape of the notch 312, as long as the deformation ability of the notch 312 can be achieved.

[0062] It can be understood that the deformation enhancement structure 311 can be a notch 312, or a material with stronger deformation ability designed at the corresponding position, which can achieve the required deformation state while avoiding the stress concentration phenomenon that may be caused by setting the notch 312, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the lever 3.

[0063] Optionally, the second connection portion 33 is snap-fitted or plug-fitted to the panel 1 .

[0064] Specifically, the second connection part 33 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, the panel 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​socket, and the snap-fit ​​structure is snapped into the snap-fit ​​socket, so that the second connection part 33 is snap-fitted with the panel 1, or the second connection part 33 is provided with a plug-in structure, the panel 1 is provided with a socket, and the plug-in structure is inserted into the socket, so that the second connection part 33 is plugged with the panel 1. The present application does not limit the specific form of the snap-fit ​​or plug-in between the second connection part 33 and the panel 1, as long as the snap-fit ​​or plug-in effect between the second connection part 33 and the panel 1 can be achieved.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet grille 2 includes a first end 35 and a second end 36 , and the lever 3 is disposed at the first end 35 ; the second end 36 is disposed opposite to the first end 35 and is detachably connected to the panel 1 .

[0066] The first end 35 and the second end 36 of the air inlet grille 2 are both detachably connected to the panel 1. The first end 35 is the lever 3 to realize the detachable connection between the air inlet grille 2 and the panel 1.
