[0041] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 An air conditioning water tank assembly and an air conditioner provided by the utility model are described. It should be understood that the following description is only an illustrative embodiment of the utility model and does not constitute any particular limitation to the utility model.

[0042] The first embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioning water tank assembly, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the water tank assembly for the air conditioner includes: a water tank frame, which is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit; a water tank body 100, which can be movably inserted into the water tank frame; a locking hook 200, which is connected to the water tank body 100; and a locking body 300, which is connected to the water tank frame.

[0043] The lock hook 200 can move with the water tank body 100 , and squeeze and drive the locking body 300 to flip and hook and lock on the lock hook 200 .

[0044] The water tank assembly for air conditioner provided by the utility model includes a water tank frame, a water tank body 100, a locking hook 200 and a locking body 300. The water tank frame is connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the water tank can be movably inserted into the water tank frame. The locking body 300 is arranged on the water tank frame, and the locking hook 200 is arranged on the water tank body 100. In the process of inserting the water tank body 100 into the water tank frame, the locking hook 200 can squeeze and drive the locking body 300 to flip, and make the locking body 300 hooked and locked on the locking hook 200. In this way, the connection reliability between the water tank body 100 and the water tank frame can be improved, and the phenomenon of vibration separation between the water tank body 100 and the water tank frame, which affects the normal operation of the air conditioner, can be avoided.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking body 300 includes a lock housing 310 , a rotating shaft 320 and a locking block 330 .

[0046] The lock housing 310 is provided with a locking insertion port 311 . The locking block 330 is rotatably connected to the lock housing 310 via a rotating shaft 320 . The locking block 330 is provided with a locking groove 331 .

[0047] The lock hook 200 can pass through the locking insertion port 311 to drive the locking block 330 to flip over, and make the locking groove 331 hooked and locked to the lock hook 200 .

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the locking body 300 also includes a limit block 332, a limit slot 312 is provided on the lock shell 310, the limit block 332 is connected to the locking block 330, and the limit block 332 can rotate in the limit slot 312 to limit the flipping angle of the locking block 330.

[0049] For example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the lock housing 310 can cover the locking block 330 and the rotating shaft 320 and other structures therein. A locking insertion port 311 is provided on the inner side of the lock housing 310. The locking insertion port 311 is adapted to the lock hook 200. The locking block 330 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the lock housing 310 through the rotating shaft 320. A limiting groove 312 is also provided on the inner side wall of the lock housing 310, and a limiting block 332 is provided on the locking block 330. The limiting block 332 can be rotated in the limiting groove 312, and thus, the maximum and minimum flip angles of the locking block 330 can be limited.

[0050] During the process of the water tank body 100 being inserted into the water tank frame, the lock hook 200 can be inserted into the lock shell 310 through the locking insertion port, and then the lock hook 200 pushes the locking block 330 to flip until the locking groove 331 of the locking block 330 is locked and hooked onto the lock hook 200.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking insertion opening 311 includes a lifting upslope section 313 , a transition section 314 and a locking downslope section 315 .

[0052] The lifting uphill section 313 is connected to the transition section 314 , the transition section 314 is connected to the locking downhill section 315 , and the locking downhill section 315 and the lifting uphill section 313 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the transition section 314 .

[0053] During the insertion process of the locking hook 200 , it can pass through the lifting uphill section 313 , the transition section 314 and the locking downhill section 315 in sequence.

[0054] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the locking body 300 further includes an elastic pressing block 340 .

[0055] The elastic pressing block 340 is connected to the lock housing 310 and is correspondingly disposed above the locking downslope section 315 .

[0056] The elastic pressing block 340 is used to cooperate with the locking block 330 to press and lock the locking hook 200 .

[0057] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the locking insertion port 311 includes a lifting upslope section 313, a transition section 314 and a locking downslope section 315 which are arranged in sequence. The lifting upslope section 313 is close to the entrance of the locking insertion port 311 and is arranged obliquely upward; the transition section 314 is arranged horizontally; the locking downslope section 315 is far from the entrance of the locking insertion port 311 and is arranged obliquely downward. An elastic pressing block 340 is arranged above the locking downslope section 315.

[0058] During the process of inserting the water tank body 100 into the water tank frame, the lock hook 200 is first lifted by the lifting uphill section 313 and moved to the transition section 314, and then dropped from the transition section 314 and moved to the locking downhill section 315. Thus, on the one hand, the water tank body 100 can be kept in a horizontal state, and on the other hand, when the water tank body 100 is fully inserted into the water tank frame, the lock hook 200 is located in the locking downhill section 315, thereby enabling the locking groove 331 on the locking block 330 to be more firmly hooked on the lock hook 200. In addition, when the locking body 300 is locked and connected with the lock hook 200, the elastic pressing block 340 can press the lock block 330 to the lock hook 200, so as to further improve the locking reliability between the lock hook 200 and the lock block 330.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the locking insertion opening 311 includes a mounting groove, and a slider 316 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove.

[0060] The locking downslope section 315 is arranged on the slider 316, and a return spring 317 is arranged between the slider 316 and the mounting groove. The return spring 317 is used to drive the slider 316 to slide to the side close to the transition section 314.

[0061] In addition, a guide rod may be provided between the slider 316 and the return spring 317 and the mounting groove to provide a guide for the sliding movement of the slider 316 .

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioning water tank assembly further includes an unlocking mechanism.

[0063] The unlocking mechanism is rotatably connected to the lock housing 310 , and the unlocking mechanism can drive the locking block 330 to flip along the direction of the locking groove 331 away from the locking hook 200 .

[0064] For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking mechanism includes a base 410 , an unlocking block 420 and a hand-shift block 430 .

[0065] The base 410 is rotatably connected to the lock housing 310 , and the unlocking block 420 is connected to the base 410 and is disposed corresponding to the locking block 330 .

[0066] The hand shift block 430 is connected to the base body 410 , and extends from the inner side of the lock housing 310 to the outer side of the lock housing 310 .

[0067] The hand-shift block 430 can drive the unlocking block 420 to rotate through the base 410 , so as to drive the locking block 330 to flip along the direction of the locking groove 331 away from the locking hook 200 .

[0068] For example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the base 410 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the lock shell 310 through a connecting shaft, and the base 410 is connected with an unlocking block 420 and a hand-shifting block 430. The unlocking block 420 is located on the inner side of the lock shell 310, and the unlocking block 420 is arranged corresponding to the locking block 330. The lock shell 310 is provided with a through-hole, and the hand-shifting block 430 can extend from the inner side of the lock shell 310 to the outer side of the lock shell 310 through the through-hole. When the water tank body 100 needs to be disassembled, the hand-shifting block 430 is manually shifted so that the hand-shifting block 430 drives the base 410 to rotate, and then the base 410 drives the unlocking block 420 to rotate. During the rotation process of the unlocking block 420, the locking block 330 can be pushed to move along the lock slot 331 in a direction away from the lock hook 200. When the lock slot 331 is separated from the lock hook 200, the water tank body 100 can be disassembled by manually pulling the water tank body 100.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioning water tank assembly further includes a sensing device 500 .

[0070] The unlocking mechanism further includes an extension block 440 , which is connected to the base body 410 , and the extension block 440 is disposed corresponding to the sensing device 500 .

[0071] The sensing device 500 is used to determine the locking state of the locking block 330 based on the flipping state of the extension block 440 .

[0072] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an extension block 440 is also connected to the base 410, and a sensing device 500 is installed on the lock shell 310. The extension block 440 is arranged corresponding to the sensing device 500. When the unlocking block 420 drives the locking block 330 to separate from the lock hook 200, the extension block 440 can contact the sensing device 500. When the locking block 330 is hooked and locked on the lock hook 200, the extension block 440 can be separated from the sensing device 500. In other words, when the sensing device 500 senses that the extension block 440 is separated from it, it can be determined that the locking block 330 is locked and connected with the lock hook 200, that is, the water tank body 100 and the water tank frame are locked and connected. When the sensing device 500 senses that the extension block 440 is in contact with it, it can be determined that the locking block 330 is separated from the lock hook 200, and the water tank body 100 can be pulled out of the water tank frame.

[0073] An embodiment of a second aspect of the utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioning water tank assembly as described above.

[0074] Furthermore, in the air conditioner provided by the utility model, since it includes the air conditioning water tank assembly as described above, it also has the advantages as described above.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
