[0046] The air conditioner housing is an external structure in the air conditioning system for protecting the internal mechanical and electronic components. The air conditioner housing mainly includes a front panel, a chassis, side panels, a top cover, a rear panel and other structures, as well as an internal frame for fixing and supporting. These components together form a complete outer shell to protect the air conditioner from external factors such as dust, moisture and physical damage, and at the same time keep the internal components clean and orderly.

[0047] In the related art, for the installation between the front panel and the chassis, it is usually fastened by screws. This fixing method requires the construction of screw holes and the assembly of screws. Moreover, specific tools are generally required for the disassembly and assembly of screws, thus affecting the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0048] The present utility model provides an air conditioner housing 100. When connecting the front panel 1 and the chassis 2, no screws or specific tools are required, and the disassembly and assembly are simple and convenient.

[0049] The following refers to Figures 1 - 9 describe the air conditioner housing 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0050] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the air conditioner housing 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a front panel 1, a chassis 2 and a connecting member 3. The front panel 1 is provided with a first clamping portion, the chassis 2 is provided with a second clamping portion, the connecting member 3 has a third clamping portion that cooperates with the first clamping portion, and the connecting member 3 has a fourth clamping portion that cooperates with the second clamping portion. The front panel 1 and the chassis 2 are detachably connected through the connecting member 3.

[0051] That is to say, in the present application, the connecting member 3 is connected between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2. Compared with the screw connection method in the related art, the connecting member 3 in the present application is equivalent to replacing the screw. Moreover, the front panel 1 and the connecting member 3 are clamped through the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the chassis 2 and the connecting member 3 are clamped through the second clamping portion and the fourth clamping portion. The disassembly and assembly method is simple and convenient, and no specific tools are required during the disassembly and assembly process, which can better improve the disassembly and assembly effect between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2.

[0052] In addition, compared with the screw connection in the related art, the screw may break in the screw hole during use. Thus, the damaged screw cannot be replaced, which affects the connection between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2. In the present application, even if the connecting member 3 breaks, the connecting member 3 can be better disassembled from the front panel 1, or the connecting member 3 can be disassembled from the chassis 2, so as to replace the damaged connecting member 3, which will not affect the disassembly and assembly between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2, can better ensure the connection effect between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2, and has a low maintenance cost.

[0053] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the connecting member 3 between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2 for connection, the front panel 1 and the chassis 2 can be better disassembled and assembled. No specific disassembly and assembly tools are required during the disassembly and assembly process, which can better improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency. Moreover, even when the connecting member 3 is damaged, the connecting member 3 can be better replaced, which will not affect the disassembly and assembly between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2, can better ensure the connection effect between the front panel 1 and the chassis 2, and has a low maintenance cost.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, an installation groove 12 is provided on the face frame 1, and the connecting member 3 is arranged in the installation groove 12. By arranging the connecting member 3 in the installation groove 12, the connection strength between the face frame 1 and the connecting member 3 can be improved. In addition, the connecting member 3 can also be hidden in the installation groove 12, which can reduce the interference of the connecting member 3 on other components.

[0055] Exemplarily, the connecting member 3 can be at least partially hidden in the installation groove 12, and the part protruding from the installation groove 12 can be clamped with the chassis 2 and then hidden in the chassis 2. That is, the face frame 1 and the chassis 2 are closely attached to each other. Thus, the compactness after the connection between the face frame 1 and the chassis 2 can be improved, and the connecting member 3 is respectively hidden in the face frame 1 and the chassis 2, which can also make the connected face frame 1 and chassis 2 more beautiful.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the installation groove 12 is provided with a first guiding portion, and the second guiding portion of the connecting member 3 is adapted to slide along the guiding surface of the first guiding portion. That is to say, the connecting member 3 is movably installed in the installation groove 12. Exemplarily, the connecting member 3 can be limited in the installation groove 12 by a limiting member. In this way, when connecting the face frame 1 and the chassis 2 through the connecting member 3, since the connecting member 3 is itself on the face frame 1, the picking up of the connecting member 3 can be saved, thereby better improving the assembly efficiency of the face frame 1 and the chassis 2, and the connecting member 3 is not easily lost; Exemplarily, when the connecting member 3 is assembled, it can be installed into the installation groove 12 from outside the installation groove 12, and the present application does not make any restrictions.

[0057] In the above example, when the connecting member 3 is in the installation groove 12, it can slide along the guiding surface of the first guiding portion, so that the connecting member 3 can be more easily moved to a predetermined position, which can better improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the connecting member 3.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first guiding portion includes a guiding groove 121 extending along the first direction X1, and the second guiding portion includes a guiding block 321 that cooperates with the guiding groove 121. That is to say, the connecting member 3 can move along the first direction X1 within the installation groove 12, and the side wall or the bottom wall of the guiding groove 121 can guide the connecting member 3. Moreover, the structures of the guiding groove 121 and the guiding block 321 are simple, and the production and processing are convenient, which can better reduce the production cost. Exemplarily, the guiding groove 121 can be integrally formed within the installation groove 12, and the guiding block 321 can also be integrally formed on the connecting member 3, whereby the guiding groove 121 and the guiding block 321 can have better structural strength and are not easily damaged.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are two guiding grooves 121 and two guiding blocks 321, and the two guiding grooves 121 and the two guiding blocks 321 correspond to each other one by one. Thus, through the one-to-one cooperation of the two guiding grooves 121 and the two guiding blocks 321, the connecting member 3 can be better guided, with good stability. When the connecting member 3 slides along the guiding groove 121, the connecting member 3 is not easily stuck. Therefore, the connecting member 3 can move relatively smoothly to a predetermined position, which can better improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, a first rotating structure is provided on the connecting member 3, and a second rotating structure is provided within the installation groove 12. The connecting member 3 has a rotating position within the installation groove 12. Among them, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis of the first rotating structure. At the rotating position, the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure are rotationally matched so that the first clamping portion is clamped with the third clamping portion, and the second clamping portion is clamped with the fourth clamping portion.

[0061] That is to say, after the connecting member 3 is installed within the installation groove 12, when the connecting member 3 is at the rotating position, the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure can cooperate with each other, enabling the connecting member 3 to rotate within the installation groove 12. Further, since the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis of the first rotating structure, thus, the rotating connecting member 3 can be equivalent to a lever with the rotating position as the fulcrum, and both ends of the lever are respectively clamped with the middle frame and the chassis 2. Specifically, one end of the connecting member 3 can realize the clamping connection between the connecting member 3 and the middle frame through the clamping cooperation between the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the other end of the connecting member 3 can realize the clamping connection between the connecting member 3 and the chassis 2 through the clamping cooperation between the second clamping portion and the fourth clamping portion, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0062] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , when connecting the front frame 1 and the chassis 2 through the connecting member 3, the connecting member 3 can first slide along the guiding groove 121 into the installation groove 12, and then the slider of the connecting member 3 can slide out of the chute and can continue to move to the rotating position. At this time, the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure can cooperate with each other to enable the connecting member 3 to rotate. At this time, driving the connecting member 3 to rotate can enable the clamping cooperation between the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion and the clamping cooperation between the second clamping portion and the fourth clamping portion, and the operation is simple and convenient. When disassembling the connecting member 3, only need to rotate the connecting member 3 in the reverse direction, and then make the connecting member 3 slide out of the installation groove 12 along the chute.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in Figure 9 , the first rotating structure is the rotating shaft 322, and the second rotating structure is the rotating groove 122. That is to say, when the connecting member 3 moves to the rotating position, the rotating shaft 322 can be inserted into the rotating groove 122, and the rotating groove 122 can limit the position of the rotating shaft 322, so that the connecting member 3 can be relatively stably maintained at the rotating position. At this time, the connecting member 3 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 322. Due to the limitation of the rotating groove 122, the position of the connecting member 3 is not easy to change when it is respectively clamped with the front frame 1 and the chassis 2, so that it can better ensure that the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the second clamping portion and the fourth clamping portion are smoothly clamped.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , the rotating groove 122 is a through groove penetrating the side wall of the installation groove 12, with a simple structure and convenient production. Moreover, when integrally formed, the structure of the through groove is stable and not easy to collapse.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in Figure 9 , in the second direction X2 perpendicular to the first direction X1, the installation groove 12 has a first opening 123, and the connecting member 3 includes a cover plate 31. When the connecting member 3 is connected between the front frame 1 and the chassis 2, the cover plate 31 closes the first opening 123.

[0066] Such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the connecting member 3 can slide into the installation groove 12 along the sliding groove. When the connecting member 3 moves to the rotating position, the connecting member 3 can be driven to rotate. When both ends of the connecting member 3 are respectively clamped with the front frame 1 and the chassis 2, the cover plate 31 can close the first opening 123 of the installation groove 12, which can improve the aesthetics and also make the connecting member 3 and the front frame 1 have better consistency.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting member 3 further includes a reinforcing rib plate 32. The reinforcing rib plate 32 is arranged on the side of the cover plate 31 facing the installation groove 12 and extends along the first direction X1. By providing the reinforcing rib plate 32, the structural strength of the cover plate 31 can be improved, that is, the connecting member 3 can have better structural strength, the connecting member 3 is not easily damaged, and even not easily broken, and can be better connected between the front frame 1 and the chassis 2.

[0068] Optionally, a first guiding portion is arranged on the reinforcing rib plate 32, and a second guiding portion that is in guiding cooperation with the first guiding portion is arranged in the installation groove 12.

[0069] Such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a guiding block 321 is arranged on the reinforcing rib plate 32, and a guiding groove 121 that cooperates with the guiding block 321 is arranged in the installation groove 12. Through the cooperation of the guiding block 321 and the guiding groove 121, it is beneficial to the installation and disassembly of the connecting member 3. And by arranging the guiding block 321 on the reinforcing rib plate 32, not only can the guiding block 321 be better matched with the guiding groove 121, but also it is beneficial for the cover plate 31 to better close the first opening 123.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting member 3 further includes a reinforcing rib plate 32. The reinforcing rib plate 32 is arranged on the side of the cover plate 31 facing the installation groove 12 and extends along the first direction X1. The reinforcing rib plate 32 includes a rib plate body and an elastic piece connected to the rib plate body. The rib plate body has an installation hole penetrating in the thickness direction, the elastic piece is located in the installation hole, a first rotating structure is arranged on the elastic piece, and a second rotating structure that is in rotating cooperation with the first rotating structure is arranged in the installation groove 12.

[0071] That is to say, when the connecting member 3 is movably installed in the installation groove 12, since the first rotating structure is installed on the spring sheet, the groove wall of the installation groove 12 can deform the spring sheet through the first rotating structure, so that the first rotating rod structure is not easy to interfere with the movement of the connecting member 3. When the connecting member 3 moves to the rotating position, the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure cooperate with each other, the first rotating structure is the rotating shaft 322, and the second rotating structure is the rotating groove 122. At this time, the rotating member can be inserted into the rotating groove 122, the spring sheet can restore the deformation, and can better ensure that the rotating shaft 322 is stably inserted into the rotating groove 122, and the rotating shaft 322 is not easy to separate from the rotating groove 122, so that the connecting member 3 can stably rotate in the installation groove 12.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, two reinforcing rib plates 32 are provided, and the two reinforcing rib plates 32 are arranged in parallel. By providing two reinforcing rib plates 32, the overall structural strength of the connecting member 3 can be further improved.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 9 In the example shown, rotating shafts 322 are respectively provided on the sides of the two reinforcing rib plates 32 facing away from each other, and rotating grooves 122 are provided on the two opposite groove walls of the mounting groove 12. The two rotating shafts 322 can be respectively inserted into the rotating grooves 122, so that the connecting member 3 can be rotated through the two rotating shafts 322. The connecting member 3 is more balanced when rotating, so that the connecting member 3 can be better connected with the face frame 1 and the chassis 2.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the face frame 1 has an air outlet duct 13, and a mounting portion is provided on the air duct plate 131 of the air outlet duct 13. The mounting portion is located on the side of the air duct plate 131 away from the air outlet duct 13, and a mounting groove 12 is provided in the mounting portion. The air duct plate 131 has a mounting opening opposite to the first opening 123 of the mounting groove 12.

[0075] That is to say, the connecting member 3 can extend from the air outlet into the air outlet duct 13, and then enter the installation groove 12 along the installation opening of the air duct plate 131 and the first opening 123 of the installation groove 12. The assembly method is simple and convenient.

[0076] In such Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the air duct plate 131 and the mounting portion are integrally formed, so the first opening 123 of the mounting slot 12 coincides with the mounting opening.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the outer side surface of the connecting member 3 is coplanar with the air guiding surface of the air duct plate 131. That is to say, after the connecting member 3 enters the installation groove 12, the connecting member 3 can continue to slide along the extension direction of the guiding groove 121. When the connecting member 3 moves to the rotating position, the connecting member 3 can rotate. At this time, the cover plate 31 of the connecting member 3 can close the first opening 123. Since the first opening 123 coincides with the installation opening, the cover plate 31 of the connecting member 3 can close the installation opening, and the outer side surface of the cover plate 31 is coplanar with the air guiding surface of the air duct plate 131. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the aesthetics after the installation of the connecting member 3, and moreover, after the connecting member 3 is installed on the air duct plate 131, it will not affect the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0078] In addition, the air outlet of the air conditioner faces forward. Therefore, the connecting member 3 can be disassembled and assembled more conveniently. Moreover, the air outlet size of the air conditioner is relatively large, and the connecting member 3 can be installed on the front frame 1 more smoothly from the air outlet of the air conditioner, which can further reduce the installation difficulty of the connecting member 3.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a limiting portion 22 is provided on the chassis 2. When the connecting member 3 moves in the installation groove 12, the limiting portion 22 is used to limit the position of the connecting member 3 so that the connecting member 3 is restricted to the rotating position. Among them, in the first direction X1, the end of the installation groove 12 has a second opening 124, and the limiting portion 22 is located at a position of the chassis 2 opposite to the second opening 124.

[0080] That is to say, when the connecting member 3 moves in the installation groove 12 along the first direction X1, the connecting member 3 can abut against the limiting portion 22 of the chassis 2. When the connecting member 3 abuts against the chassis 2, the connecting member 3 is in the rotating position, and the connecting member 3 can rotate, so as to be respectively clamped with the front frame 1 and the chassis 2.
