[0047] Figure 1 It is a schematic exploded view of an indoor cabinet 10 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0048] refer to Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a casing 30 for an indoor cabinet 10 of an air conditioner. The casing 30, as the outer shell of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner, includes a front panel 32 and a decorative panel 34. An operation port is provided on the front panel 32, and the decorative panel 34 is detachably disposed on the front panel 32 to cover the operation port. The outer shell of this embodiment also generally includes a base 38 and a rear cover 36, and the front panel 32 and the rear cover 36 are detachably fixed front and back and are disposed on the base 38, and the three constitute the main part of the outer shell of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner.

[0049] The indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner of this embodiment can be provided with a functional module 40 for providing a specific function in the casing 30, and the front side of the functional module 40 is exposed at the operation port of the front panel 32, and the user can operate the functional module 40 through the operation port. The decorative panel 34 is detachably arranged on the front panel 32, and is used to cover the operation port at ordinary times, so that the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner is beautiful, and to prevent dust or foreign matter from entering the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner from the operation port. The functional module 40 can be a water tank module for cleaning the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner or assisting in providing a humidification function. Through the operation port, the user can disassemble the water storage container of the water tank module and change the water. The functional module 40 can also be a fresh air filter module. Through the operation port, the user can replace the filter element of the fresh air filter module or add air freshener. The functional module 40 can also be a functional module 40 with other functions, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0050] The indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner of this embodiment generally includes other necessary structures or components of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner, such as an air supply fan and a heat exchanger. However, in order to more clearly illustrate the specific structure of the casing 30, this embodiment is Figure 1 The above structures or components are hidden.

[0051] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the front panel 32 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner, and illustrates the front side of the front panel 32. In order to more clearly illustrate a part of the front panel 32, Figure 2 Unnecessary portions of the front panel 32 are hidden by the break lines. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a decorative panel 34 of an indoor cabinet 10 of an air conditioner, and illustrates the rear side of the decorative panel 34. In order to more clearly illustrate a part of the decorative panel 34, Figure 3 Unnecessary portions of the trim panel 34 are hidden by the break lines. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic partial cross-sectional view of an indoor cabinet 10 of an air conditioner, and is specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of a first positioning structure 322 and a first matching structure 342 when a decorative panel 34 is disposed on a front panel 32 .

[0052] The detachable decorative panels of existing indoor cabinets of air conditioners are generally connected and fixed to the front panel through a plug-in buckle structure. The buckle structure is prone to aging, deformation or even damage after long-term use, which seriously affects the user experience. In order to avoid this problem, the housing 30 of this embodiment uses a magnetic connection to connect the decorative panel 34 and the front panel 32 front and back, and there is no problem of the buckle structure being prone to aging, deformation or even damage, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] However, if the trim plate 34 and the front panel 32 are connected only by magnetic connection, the trim plate 34 will slide downward under the influence of its own weight. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 30 of this embodiment is formed with one or more first positioning structures 322 at the bottom of the front panel 32, and one or more first matching structures 342 are formed at the bottom of the decorative panel 34. Each first matching structure 342 is connected to a first positioning structure 322, and is used to support the decorative panel 34 and prevent the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 from moving forward and backward relative to the front panel 32.

[0054] It can be understood that the front and rear directions described in this embodiment are all based on the front and rear directions of the air conditioner indoor cabinet 10. Simply put, the decorative panel 34 is located on the front side of the front panel 32, and the positional relationship of other structures or components is adapted thereto.

[0055] In order to support the trim 34 on the front panel 32 and prevent the bottom end of the trim 34 from moving forward and backward relative to the front panel 32, on the one hand, the bottom of the trim 34 needs to be at least partially placed above the front panel 32, and on the other hand, the bottom of the trim 34 needs to form a structure extending to the rear side of the front panel 32.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the fixing effect of the front panel 32 on the bottom end of the decorative panel 34, in some optional embodiments, the first positioning structure 322 protrudes upward at the bottom of the front panel 32; the first matching structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A opening downward; and the first positioning structure 322 is configured to be inserted into the positioning cavity 34A, so that the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 is fixed front and back relative to the front panel 32.

[0057] The first positioning structure 322 of this embodiment is formed by protruding upward, and the first matching structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A opening downward. The rear portion of the first matching structure 342 can be inserted into the rear side of the first positioning structure 322 and abut against the rear end of the first positioning structure 322, thereby fixing the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 relative to the front panel 32 in the front-to-back direction.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the absence of special explanation, the descriptions similar to extending or forming in the up-down, front-back or lateral directions in the present invention all refer to extending or forming in the upper, lower, front-back or lateral directions based on the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner. For example, if the opening of the positioning cavity 34A is downward, then the positioning cavity 34A must have at least one inner wall located in a vertical plane, so that the opening of the positioning cavity 34A faces directly downward rather than obliquely downward.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, one or more forward positioning openings 32A are formed at the bottom of the front panel 32, and each first positioning structure 322 is formed on the bottom surface of a positioning opening 32A in a manner of protruding upward. A first matching structure 342 is formed on the rear surface of the trim panel 34 in a manner of protruding backward, and the height of the first matching structure 342 is less than the distance between the first positioning structure 322 and the top of the positioning opening 32A, so that the first matching structure 342 can be inserted into the positioning opening 32A from above the first positioning structure 322.

[0060] In order to reduce the influence of the first positioning structure 322 and the first matching structure 342 on the overall front and rear dimensions of the housing 30, the housing 30 of this embodiment is provided with one or more forward positioning openings 32A at the bottom of the front panel 32, and each first positioning structure 322 is formed to protrude upward on the bottom surface of a positioning opening 32A. Figure 2 It can be seen that the front end of the first positioning structure 322 of this embodiment can be substantially flush with the front surface of the front panel 32 , that is, the first positioning structure 322 does not obviously protrude from the front surface of the front panel 32 .

[0061] The first matching structure 342 is formed on the rear surface of the decorative plate 34 and protrudes backward. When the decorative plate 34 is installed on the front panel 32, the first matching structure 342 can be inserted into the positioning opening 32A backward, and then the decorative plate 34 can be moved downward to insert the first positioning structure 322 into the positioning cavity 34A. Figure 4 Fixed position shown.

[0062] The first matching structure 342 is configured to have a height smaller than the distance between the first positioning structure 322 and the top of the positioning opening 32A, so as to facilitate insertion into the positioning opening 32A. The height of the first matching structure 342 refers to the height distance from its upper end to its lower end.

[0063] The arrangement of the first positioning structure 322 and the first matching structure 342 in this embodiment allows the front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34 to be closer together, and the appearance of the front panel 32 is simpler and does not appear bloated due to the positioning structure protruding forward from the front panel 32.

[0064] refer to Figure 3As shown, the first matching structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A with an opening facing downward, and the positioning cavity 34A is formed by the decorative plate 34, the top wall, the rear wall and the two side walls of the first matching structure 342. Since the first matching structure 342 only has a downward opening, and its rear wall is connected to the decorative plate 34 through the top wall and the two side walls, the first matching structure 342 has a stronger anti-deformation ability and is not easily damaged.

[0065] The front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34 of this embodiment can be as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of first positioning structures 322 and a plurality of first matching structures 342 are formed at intervals, or only one first positioning structure 322 and first matching structure 342 with a longer transverse length may be formed.

[0066] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, an upper portion of the rear end of the first matching structure 342 forms an inclined surface; and the top surface of the positioning opening 32A is an inclined surface.

[0067] The inclined surface formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first matching structure 342 makes the rear wall height of the first matching structure 342 smaller, so it is easier to align with the positioning opening 32A. At the same time, the top surface of the positioning opening 32A also forms an inclined surface extending from the front surface of the front panel 32 to the rear side, so that the first matching structure 342 can slide down obliquely along the top surface of the positioning opening 32A into the positioning opening 32A. The user continues to push the decorative panel 34 downward along the sliding direction, so that the first positioning structure 322 can be inserted into the positioning cavity 34A of the first matching structure 342 and the installation and fixation are completed.

[0068] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the upper portion of the rear end of the first positioning structure 322 also forms an inclined surface.

[0069] The function of the inclined surface formed at the upper rear end of the first positioning structure 322 is similar to that of the inclined surface formed at the upper rear end of the first matching structure 342. It is used to enable the bottom rear end of the first matching structure 342 to contact the surface of the first positioning structure 322 without moving to the deepest part of the positioning opening 32A when the first matching structure 342 moves downward, so that the first matching structure 342 can move downward along the inclined surface of the first positioning structure 322, and the decorative panel 34 does not need to be close to the front panel 32 to complete the alignment and installation, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation during installation.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the rear end of the first positioning structure 322 is located on a vertical plane and configured to abut against the rear wall of the positioning cavity 34A. The vertical surfaces abutting against each other can most effectively prevent the bottom end of the decorative plate 34 from moving forward and backward relative to the front panel 32.

[0071] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the first positioning structure 322 of this embodiment may include a laterally extending straight wall and a plurality of support ribs perpendicular to the straight wall. The inclined surface formed on the upper rear end of the first positioning structure 322 and the vertical rear end may both be formed on the support ribs.

[0072] The casing 30 of this embodiment is provided with a first positioning structure 322 and a first matching structure 342, so that the decorative panel 34 is supported and the bottom end is fixed relative to the front and rear of the front panel 32, and the decorative panel 34 is connected to the front and rear of the front panel 32 as a whole by magnetic connection.

[0073] In order to further improve the fixing effect of the trim 34 on the front panel 32, in some optional embodiments, one or more second positioning structures 324 are also formed on the front panel 32, and one or more second matching structures 344 are also formed on the trim 34; each second positioning structure 324 is connected to a second matching structure 344, which is used to prevent the trim 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more directions other than the front and rear directions.

[0074] The one or more other directions other than the front-to-back direction include the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction, and may also include other directions between the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction. However, as long as the trim panel 34 is prevented from moving in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction relative to the front panel 32, it is equivalent to preventing the trim panel 34 from moving in any direction other than the front-to-back direction relative to the front panel 32, because other directions between the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction can be decomposed into a combination of the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction.

[0075] In the casing 30 of this embodiment, based on fixing the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 front and back by setting a first positioning structure 322 and a first matching structure 342, in order to prevent the top end of the decorative panel 34 from moving laterally relative to the front panel 32, a second positioning structure 324 and a second matching structure 344 are further provided. Each second positioning structure 324 is connected to a second matching structure 344, which is used to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving in one or more directions other than the front and back directions relative to the front panel 32.

[0076] The second positioning structure 324 and the second matching structure 344 can be connection structures such as plug-in structures of any shape, and the second positioning structure 324 and the second matching structure 344 prevent the trim plate 34 from moving in the corresponding direction relative to the front panel 32 by abutting against each other in any direction. It can be understood that only one second positioning structure 324 and one second matching structure 344 can be formed on the front panel 32 and the trim plate 34, respectively, and the second positioning structure 324 abuts against the second matching structure 344 at least in both the lateral and longitudinal sides, so as to prevent the trim plate 34 from abutting against the front panel 32 and moving in one or more other directions other than the front-rear direction when only one second positioning structure 324 and one second matching structure 344 are formed.

[0077] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the second positioning structure 324 is a positioning hole 324 formed with an opening on the front surface of the front panel 32; the second matching structure 344 is a positioning member 344 protruding backward from the surface of the decorative plate 34. Each positioning member 344 is inserted into a positioning hole 324 and abuts against at least part of the inner side wall of the positioning hole 324, thereby preventing the decorative plate 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more directions other than the front-to-back direction.

[0078] After being inserted into the positioning hole 324, the positioning member 344 described in this embodiment abuts against at least one inner side wall of the positioning hole 324, but is generally configured to abut against two opposite inner side walls of the positioning hole 324, so that the positioning hole 324 can prevent the positioning member 344 from moving in two opposite directions. When a plurality of positioning holes 324 and positioning members 344 are respectively provided on the front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34, and the limiting directions of the positioning members 344 of each positioning hole 324 are not all the same, the decorative panel 34 can be prevented from moving in any other direction other than the front-rear direction relative to the front panel 32.

[0079] The shape of the positioning hole 324 can be any shape. When the shape of the positioning hole 324 completely corresponds to the shape of the positioning member 344, since the positioning member 344 cannot move at all in the positioning hole 324, at this time, only one positioning hole 324 and one positioning member 344 need to be formed on the front panel 32 and the trim panel 34 to prevent the trim panel 34 from moving in any other direction relative to the front panel 32 except the front and rear directions.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, the positioning member 344 is in the shape of a cylinder extending backward, and the minimum inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, so that each positioning hole 324 prevents a positioning member 344 from moving in one or more directions other than the front-rear direction.

[0081] refer to Figure 3As shown, the positioning member 344 of this embodiment protrudes backward from the rear surface of the decorative plate 34 and is cylindrical. The cylindrical positioning member 344 can be a solid structure inside or as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the interior is hollow, and support ribs that are perpendicular to the surfaces of the positioning member 344 and the decorative panel 34 can be extended from the inner and outer surfaces of the positioning member 344 .

[0082] In addition, the minimum inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 of this embodiment is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, so that the positioning hole 324 can prevent the positioning member 344 from moving in the two extending directions of its minimum inner diameter. For example, if the positioning hole 324 is a long strip extending up and down, and its minimum inner diameter is located in the horizontal direction, then the positioning hole 324 can abut against the positioning member 344 on both sides of the horizontal direction and prevent the positioning member 344 from moving horizontally in the positioning hole 324.

[0083] It can be understood that the minimum inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 described in this embodiment refers to the inner diameter passing through its geometric center, rather than the connecting line of any two points on its inner wall. The minimum inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, which means that without considering the elastic deformation of the positioning hole 324 and the positioning member 344, there is a gap between the positioning hole 324 and the positioning member 344 to enable the positioning member 344 to move forward and backward, and the gap is usually less than or approximately equal to 0.1 mm on one side.

[0084] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the number of positioning holes 324 is multiple, and the multiple positioning holes 324 include one or more positioning holes 324 located at a first height of the front panel 32 and one or more positioning holes 324 located at a second height; the first height is lower than the second height.

[0085] The maximum longitudinal inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 located at the first height is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum transverse inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, so as to prevent the positioning member 344 from moving laterally; the maximum transverse inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 located at the second height is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum longitudinal inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, so as to prevent the positioning member 344 from moving longitudinally.

[0086] In order to make it easier to calibrate the decorative plate 34 when it is installed on the front panel 32, this embodiment also makes special settings for the shape and position of the positioning hole 324. Specifically, this embodiment divides the positioning holes 324 into two groups at different heights on the front panel 32, wherein the maximum longitudinal inner diameter of the positioning holes 324 at the first height with a lower height is greater than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum transverse inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, thereby preventing the positioning member 344 from moving laterally. The maximum transverse inner diameter of the positioning holes 324 at the second height with a higher height is greater than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum longitudinal inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, thereby preventing the positioning member 344 from moving laterally.

[0087] This embodiment fully considers that when the user installs the decorative panel 34, in order to first connect the first matching structure 342 with the first positioning structure 322, the decorative panel 34 needs to be installed tilted, and the upper part of the decorative panel 34 is pushed close to the front panel 32 with the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 as the axis. At this time, the positioning hole 324 at a lower height position and the positioning member 344 will contact first. Therefore, by setting the positioning hole 324 at a lower first height to prevent the positioning member 344 from moving horizontally, it is easier for the user to align the decorative panel 34 with the front panel 32 in the horizontal direction when the decorative panel 34 is opened widely. The maximum longitudinal inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, so that the positioning member 344 tilted with the decorative panel 34 is easier to insert into the positioning hole 324.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, the horizontal cross-section of the front surface of the front panel 32 where the positioning holes 324 are arranged is arc-shaped, and the number of the positioning holes 324 located at the first height is one and is located in the horizontal middle of the front panel 32, so as to first contact with the corresponding positioning member 344. The number of the positioning holes 324 at the second height can be multiple and arranged symmetrically in the horizontal direction.

[0089] The front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34 of the casing 30 of this embodiment are magnetically connected, wherein one or more first magnetic components 328 are provided on the front panel 32, and one or more second magnetic components 348 are provided on the decorative panel 34, and each second magnetic component 348 is opposite to a first magnetic component 328 front and back and is magnetically connected.

[0090] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the plug-in portion 326 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner is shown; Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the first magnetic attraction member 328 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner is shown; Figure 7 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the front panel 32 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner, and specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of the front panel 32 at a plug-in portion 326 .

[0091] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the front panel 32 of the casing 30 of this embodiment is provided with a plug-in portion 326 at a position corresponding to each first magnetic member 328, and a fixed cavity adapted to the shape of the first magnetic member 328 is defined in the plug-in portion 326; each first magnetic member 328 is detachably arranged in a fixed cavity, thereby being fixed on the front panel 32.

[0092] The first magnetic attraction member 328 of this embodiment is detachably arranged to facilitate assembly or replacement.

[0093] refer to Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the first magnetic member 328 is in the shape of a sheet with uniform thickness.

[0094] The first magnetic member 328 of this embodiment is in the form of a sheet with uniform thickness, so as to facilitate plug-in installation or removal. In some optional embodiments, the first magnetic member 328 is a magnet sheet. Magnet sheets with uniform shape and thickness have lower costs and better magnetic retention effects. Therefore, the first magnetic member 328 is usually preferably a magnet sheet with uniform shape and thickness. Although the second magnetic member 348 can also be a magnetic member with magnetism, considering that the second magnetic member 348 may be moved to other positions with the decorative panel 34 and is more likely to come into contact with metal impurities, the second magnetic member 348 is usually made of a non-magnetic material, for example, it can usually be made of iron.

[0095] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the plug-in portion 326 includes one or more front baffles 3264 and one or more rear baffles 3265. Each front baffle 3264 is located at the front side of the plug-in portion 326; the rear surfaces of the one or more front baffles 3264 are located in the same plane. Each rear baffle 3265 is located at the rear side of the plug-in portion 326; the front surfaces of the one or more rear baffles 3265 are located in the same plane.

[0096] A gap is formed between the front baffle plate 3264 and the rear baffle plate 3265 in the front-to-back direction, the width of which is equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic member 328 , so that the first magnetic member 328 is sandwiched between the front baffle plate 3264 and the rear baffle plate 3265 .

[0097] The plug-in portion 326 can be made of an integrally molded material with a certain elasticity. When the gap width between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic component 328, the front baffle 3264 or the rear baffle 3265 can be slightly deformed to allow the first magnetic component 328 to be inserted and the first magnetic component 328 can be firmly clamped in the middle.

[0098] The plug-in portion 326 can be installed on the front panel 32 in any manner such as bonding or clamping, and is usually installed in a non-detachable manner to ensure a secure installation. The plug-in portion 326 is not integrally formed with the front panel 32 but is assembled and connected because, on the one hand, the materials used for the two may be different, and on the other hand, if integrally formed, the complex structure of the plug-in portion 326 will increase the difficulty of integrally forming the front panel 32, affecting the production cost. Of course, it is understandable that the plug-in portion 326 can also be integrally formed with the front panel 32.

[0099] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the sum of the number of front baffles 3264 and rear baffles 3265 is not less than three. And in the case where there are multiple front baffles 3264, there is a projection of a rear baffle 3265 on the vertical plane between every two projections of the front baffles 3264 on the vertical plane; and in the case where there are multiple rear baffles 3265, there is a projection of a front baffle 3264 on the vertical plane between every two projections of the rear baffles 3265 on the vertical plane.

[0100] The front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 of this embodiment provide the first magnetic member 328 with at least three spaced apart clamping surfaces rather than front and back clamping surfaces facing each other, thereby firmly fixing the first magnetic member 328 and allowing the first magnetic member 328 to deform to a certain extent.

[0101] In some optional embodiments, there is one front baffle plate 3264 and two rear baffle plates 3265. The number of the front baffle plates 3264 and the rear baffle plates 3265 of this embodiment is a more reasonable number setting, which can provide three triangular clamping surfaces for the first magnetic attraction member 328.

[0102] In some optional embodiments, the width of the gap formed between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 in the front-to-back direction is slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic component 328; the surface of the rear baffle 3265 forms a wavy structure that bends forward and backward; and the rear baffle 3265 forms a plane at the bent end on the front side.

[0103] This embodiment further includes the rear baffle 3265 as Figure 5 As shown, it is configured to be a wave-shaped structure, so that the rear baffle 3265 is easier to deform relative to the front baffle 3264, and the first magnetic attraction member 328 is firmly clamped in the middle.

[0104] In some optional embodiments, the plug-in portion 326 further includes: a base 3261, two parallel side walls 3262 and a bottom wall 3263. The base 3261 is disposed on the front panel 32, and a through hole corresponding to the shape of the first magnetic attraction member 328 and penetrating from front to back is formed in the middle; two parallel side walls 3262 and a bottom wall 3263 are respectively extended backward from the surface of the base 3261; the bottom wall 3263 connects one end of the two side walls 3262, thereby enclosing a fixed cavity with an insertion port on the side away from the bottom wall 3263 together with the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265.

[0105] refer to Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in portion 326 of this embodiment includes a base 3261 having a through hole formed through the middle portion, so that the base 3261 is in the shape of a long ring, and two side walls 3262 and a bottom wall 3263 extending backward from the surface of the base 3261. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown in which the extension direction of each front baffle 3264 and each rear baffle 3265 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the first magnetic component 328, the front baffle 3264 is connected to both sides of the middle part of the base 3261, and the rear baffle 3265 is connected to the two side walls 3262, thereby enclosing a fixed cavity with an insertion port on the side away from the bottom wall 3263, so that the first magnetic component 328 can be inserted into the fixed cavity from the insertion port.

[0106] In some optional embodiments, the plug-in portion 326 further includes a stop buckle 3267. The stop buckle 3267 is formed to extend backward from the surface of the base 3261 located at the insertion port, and is used to abut against the end of the first magnetic member 328 when the first magnetic member 328 is located in the fixed cavity, so as to prevent the first magnetic member 328 from leaving the fixed cavity.

[0107] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the stop buckle 3267 protrudes from one end of the base 3261 away from the bottom wall 3263, and abuts against the end of the first magnetic member 328, thereby preventing the first magnetic member 328 from escaping from the fixed cavity in the opposite direction of the insertion direction. The protruding length of the stop buckle 3267 is generally smaller than the gap width between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265, so that the first magnetic member 328 can be inserted into the fixed cavity without a large deformation.

[0108] In some optional embodiments, the plug-in portion 326 further includes: two support edges 3266. The two support edges 3266 are respectively located on one side of the bottom wall 3263 and one side of the insertion port, and extend from the surface of the base 3261 to the inner side of the through hole; the rear surface of the support edge 3266 and the rear surface of the front baffle 3264 are located in the same plane to abut against the front surface of the first magnetic attraction member 328.

[0109] The through hole in the middle of the base 3261 corresponds to the shape of the first magnetic component 328. By forming two support edges 3266 protruding from the inner surface of the base 3261 on one side of the bottom wall 3263 and one side of the insertion port, the two ends of the first magnetic component 328 can also be supported. The rear surface of the support edge 3266 is in the same plane as the rear surface of the front baffle 3264, so that the first magnetic component 328 can be clamped in cooperation with the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265.

[0110] In some optional embodiments, each front baffle 3264 forms an inclined surface toward the insertion port at the edge of the rear surface near the insertion port; and each rear baffle 3265 forms an inclined surface toward the insertion port at the edge of the front surface near the insertion port.

[0111] refer to Figure 7 As shown, the inclined surface is formed on the front baffle plate 3264 and the rear baffle plate 3265 at one side of the fixing cavity and near the insertion port, so as to play a guiding role in the insertion process of the first magnetic member 328, making the installation of the first magnetic member 328 more convenient. The support edge 3266 located on one side of the bottom wall 3263 can form an inclined surface facing the insertion port at the edge of the rear surface near the insertion port similar to the front baffle plate 3264 and also play a guiding role in the insertion process of the first magnetic member 328.

[0112] In some optional embodiments, the front panel 32 is provided with a through hole extending from front to back at a position corresponding to the plug-in portion 326, and a support platform 327 is extended rearward from the edge of the through hole; the base 3261 is arranged at the end of the support platform 327, so that the front surface of the front baffle 3264 is spaced front and back from the front surface of the front panel 32; the second magnetic attraction member 348 is configured to extend into the through hole on the front panel 32 to approach the first magnetic attraction member 328 and be magnetically connected.

[0113] Figure 8 yes Figure 1 Another schematic partial cross-sectional view of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner is shown, and specifically is a schematic cross-sectional view of the positions of the first magnetic member 328 and the second magnetic member 348 when the decorative panel 34 is set on the front panel 32.

[0114] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the front panel 32 of this embodiment is provided with a through hole extending from front to back at a position corresponding to the plug-in portion 326, and a support platform 327 is formed by extending from the edge of the through hole to the rear side, and the base 3261 of the plug-in portion 326 is arranged at the end of the support platform 327, so that the first magnetic member 328 is arranged in the through hole recessed backwards in the front panel 32. The front surface of the front baffle 3264 is spaced from the front surface of the front panel 32, and the second magnetic member 348 needs to extend into the through hole to fit the front surface of the front baffle 3264.

[0115] The support platform 327 of this embodiment is not limited to extending backward in the rear direction, but can be contracted toward the middle of the through hole while extending backward, thereby forming a through hole with a smaller opening at the back and a larger opening at the front, so that the second magnetic attraction member 348 can be more easily aligned during the installation of the decorative panel 34.

[0116] Fig. 9 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of the decorative panel 34 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner is shown. Fig. 9 In order to clearly illustrate the structures of the clamping portion 346 and the second magnetic attraction member 348, the decorative plate 34 is disassembled for illustration; Fig.10 yes Figure 1 The illustrated diagram is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the decorative panel 34 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner, and is specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of the decorative panel 34 when the second magnetic attraction member 348 is disposed in the clamping portion 346 .

[0117] The front panel 32 of the present embodiment forms a rearward recessed structure at the position corresponding to the plug-in portion 326. On the one hand, this is to provide a lateral limit for the second magnetic component 348 to prevent the lateral movement of the second magnetic component 348, thereby improving the fixing effect of the decorative panel 34. On the other hand, this is to reserve enough space for the second magnetic component 348 so that the second magnetic component 348 can protrude from the decorative panel 34 without affecting the overall thickness of the decorative panel 34.

[0118] refer to Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, one or more second magnetic members 348 are provided on the rear surface of the decorative plate 34 of this embodiment, and each second magnetic member 348 is opposite to and magnetically connected to a first magnetic member 328. A clamping portion 346 is formed at a position corresponding to each second magnetic member 348 on the decorative plate 34, and each second magnetic member 348 is detachably disposed in a clamping portion 346, so as to be fixed on the decorative plate 34.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the clamping portion 346 includes a first side plate 3461, two first clamping plates 3462 and a second clamping plate 3463. The first side plate 3461 is formed to extend backward from the rear surface of the decorative plate 34. The two first clamping plates 3462 are respectively extended from the rear end of the first side plate 3461 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 3461. The second clamping plate 3463 is extended from the side surface of the first side plate 3461 in the same extension direction as the first clamping plate 3462, and is spaced apart from the first clamping plate 3462 in the front-to-back direction; the second magnetic attraction member 348 is configured to be inserted and clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463 from the side away from the first side plate 3461. The two first clamping plates 3462 are spaced apart, and the second clamping plate 3463 is directly opposite to the gap between the two first clamping plates 3462 in the front-to-back direction.

[0120] refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the surface of the decorative panel 34 of this embodiment can be an arc surface, but the first side plate 3461 of the clamping portion 346 extends backward along the front-to-back direction rather than perpendicular to the surface of the decorative panel 34, and at the same time, the two first clamping plates 3462 and the second clamping plates 3463 extend perpendicularly to the first side plate 3461 respectively, so that the clamped second magnetic attraction component 348 is opposite to the first magnetic attraction component 328 from front to back.

[0121] The two first clamping plates 3462 are spaced apart, and the second clamping plate 3463 is opposite to the space between the two first clamping plates 3462 in the front-to-back direction, thereby providing three triangular clamping surfaces for the second magnetic attraction member 348 .

[0122] In some optional embodiments, the clamping portion 346 further includes two second side panels 3464 . The two second side panels 3464 are respectively extended backward from the rear surface of the decorative panel 34 along one side edge of the first side panel 3461 and connected to the side edge of one first clamping panel 3462 .

[0123] refer to Fig. 9 As shown, the two second side panels 3464, the first side panel 3461 and the two first clamping panels 3462 together enclose an opening located on the side away from the first side panel 3461, so that the second magnetic attraction member 348 can be installed or removed from here. The two second side panels 3464 connect the first clamping panel 3462 and the decorative panel 34 front and back to improve the reliability of the clamping portion 346 and prevent the first side panel 3461 or the first clamping panel 3462 from being significantly bent.

[0124] In some optional embodiments, the angle between each second side plate 3464 and the first side plate 3461 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 105°.

[0125] The second side plate 3464 of this embodiment can form a right angle with the first side plate 3461, or a small obtuse angle, so that the enclosed opening gradually expands in the direction away from the first side plate 3461, so as to facilitate the installation of the second magnetic member 348. The position where the second side plate 3464 and the first side plate 3461 meet can form an arc-shaped transition section, so that the edge of the outer surface of the clamping portion 346 has a smooth transition without obvious edges and corners.

[0126] refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the second magnetic member 348 includes a main body 3482, and two clamping ears 3484 extending in opposite directions from opposite sides of the main body 3482. The main body 3482 abuts against the rear side of the second clamping plate 3463, and the two clamping ears 3484 abut against the front side of a first clamping plate 3462, respectively, so that the second magnetic member 348 is clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463. The shape of the second magnetic member 348 is configured so that the main body 3482 protrudes from the plane where the rear surface of the first clamping plate 3462 is located, so as to extend backward from the gap between the two first clamping plates 3462.

[0127] In some optional embodiments, a through hole 348A extending from front to back is formed on each clamping ear 3484; and the first clamping plate 3462 is formed with a forward-protruding protrusion 3465 at a position on its front surface corresponding to the through hole 348A of the clamping ear 3484, and the protrusion 3465 is used to extend into the through hole 348A of the clamping ear 3484 to fix the clamping ear 3484.

[0128] Fig. 9 The position of the through hole 348A is shown, and when the second magnetic member 348 is installed in the clamping portion, the protruding portion 3465 on the front surface of the first clamping plate 3462 is inserted into the through hole 348A on the clamping ear 3484, thereby fixing the position of the second magnetic member 348. The surface of the protruding portion 3465 can be a part of a spherical surface, and before the protruding portion 3465 completely slides into the through hole 348A on the clamping ear 3484, the clamping ear 3484 is forced to slide against the surface of the protruding portion 3465 without hindering the active installation or removal of the second magnetic member 348.

[0129] In some optional embodiments, the end of the second clamping plate 3463 away from the first side plate 3461 is bent backward to form a clamping claw 3466, and the clamping claw 3466 is used to prevent the second magnetic attraction member 348 from moving away from the first side plate 3461; and / or the end of the first clamping plate 3462 away from the first side plate 3461 forms a slope on the side close to the second clamping plate 3463.

[0130] refer to Fig.10 As shown, the clamping claw 3466 of this embodiment is also used to fix the position of the second magnetic member 348 and prevent the second magnetic member 348 from being separated from the clamping portion. The clamping claw 3466 will also prevent the second magnetic member 348 from being installed. Therefore, when installing the second magnetic member 348, it is necessary to press down the second clamping plate 3463 to deform the second clamping plate 3463, so that the gap between the first clamping plate 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463 is sufficient to install the second magnetic member 348. In order to install the second magnetic member 348 more labor-saving, the end of the first clamping plate 3462 away from the first side plate 3461 can also form an inclined surface on the side close to the second clamping plate 3463 in this embodiment, thereby increasing the gap between the first clamping plate 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463 at the opening position.

[0131] In some optional embodiments, both side edges of the second clamping plate 3463 in the extension direction are bent backwards to form a support wall 3467 , so that the second magnetic attraction member 348 is configured to be clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 and the support wall 3467 .

[0132] The second clamping plate 3463 of this embodiment is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the two side edges are bent to form support walls 3467, which can increase the strength of the second clamping plate 3463, making the second clamping plate 3463 less likely to deform. At the same time, the second magnetic member 348 of this embodiment does not directly contact the rear surface of the second clamping plate 3463, but is supported on the support wall 3467, that is, clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 of the clamping portion and the support wall 3467.

[0133] In order to further improve the strength of the second clamping plate 3463 and prevent the second clamping plate 3463 from aging and deformation after long-term use, in some optional embodiments, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 3468 protruding backwards are formed at intervals on the rear surface of the second clamping plate 3463, and one end of each first reinforcing rib 3468 is located on the surface of the first side plate 3461 and extends along the extension direction of the second clamping plate 3463; and / or a plurality of second reinforcing ribs protruding forwards are formed at intervals on the front surface of the second clamping plate 3463, and one end of each second reinforcing rib is located on the surface of the first side plate 3461 and extends along the extension direction of the second clamping plate 3463.

[0134] Fig. 9 The diagram shows a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 3468 located at the rear side of the second clamping plate 3463. It can be understood that Fig. 9 A plurality of second reinforcing ribs may also be formed between the second clamping plate 3463 and the decorative plate 34 (not shown).
