Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air-conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning, or air conditioner, refers to a device that uses artificial means to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, flow rate and other parameters of the ambient air in a building or structure.

[0003] In the prior art, the air conditioner includes a shell and a panel. The shell is used to be installed on the ceiling in the indoor suspended ceiling, and an opening is provided on the suspended ceiling for panel installation. A first air outlet is provided on the shell, and a second air outlet is provided on the panel. The airflow output through the first air outlet is output to the room through the second air outlet. However, in the prior art, due to installation tolerances, it is difficult to directly align the first air outlet and the second air outlet after the panel is installed in the opening of the suspended ceiling, so air leakage will occur. In addition, because components such as an indoor fan are provided in the shell, the shell will vibrate. If the panel is rigidly connected to the shell, the vibration of the shell will be transmitted to the suspended ceiling through the panel, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, the first air outlet of the shell in the prior art is connected to the second air outlet of the panel through a flexible pipe, and the airflow flows in the flexible pipe. In the prior art, one side of the flexible pipe is connected to the first air outlet, and the other side is connected to the side of the panel facing the shell, and then the panel is manually installed to the opening of the ceiling. In this way, the entire operation is constructed inside the ceiling, and the installation is very difficult due to limited space. And a long redundant installation length of the canvas is required. The redundant canvas will have wrinkles and siltation, which will lead to poor ventilation, affect the air volume, and cause condensation and other problems. And there will also be problems with inconvenience in subsequent maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0128] In some embodiments, the panel frame 300 and the panel body 500 may not be provided with the threaded connector 400 when they are plugged into each other through the plug-in connector and the plug-in slot.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the threaded connector 400 is provided, the plug-in connector and the plug-in slot may not be provided.

[0130] In some embodiments, the panel body 500 is connected to the panel frame 300 by snap-fit ​​connection. The snap-fit ​​connection makes the connection between the panel body 500 and the panel frame 300 simpler and faster, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0131] In some embodiments, the buckle includes a buckle and a buckle slot.

[0132] In some embodiments, the clamping member is disposed on a side of the panel frame 300 facing the panel body 500. The clamping slot is disposed on a side of the panel body 500 facing the panel frame 300. The clamping member is used to be clamped with the clamping slot.

[0133] In some embodiments, the card slot is disposed on a side of the panel frame 300 facing the panel body 500. The card member is disposed on a side of the panel body 500 facing the panel frame 300. The card member is used to engage with the card slot.

[0134] In some embodiments, there may be more than one buckle, so as to improve the connection strength between the panel frame 300 and the panel body 500 .

[0135] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 201 is bent away from the housing 200 to form a flange, which is used to connect with the flexible pipe 600. The flange design enhances the stability of the connection between the first air outlet 201 and the flexible pipe 600, and reduces the risk of air leakage and falling off.

[0136] In some embodiments, a side of the flexible pipe 600 close to the housing 200 may be sleeved on the flange.

[0137] In some embodiments, the flexible duct 600 and the first air outlet 201 of the housing 200 may be connected by screws or bolts.

[0138] In some embodiments, the flexible duct 600 and the first air outlet of the housing 200 may be connected by bonding.

[0139] In some embodiments, the material of the flexible pipe 600 is canvas. Using canvas as the material of the flexible pipe 600 not only ensures the flexibility of the pipe, but also has good ventilation performance, avoiding problems such as poor ventilation and condensation.

[0140] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
