[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing the specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "include" and / or "comprise" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0030] A modularly assembled air conditioner gateway includes a wiring base 1 and an air conditioner gateway assembly 2. The upper end of the wiring base 1 is fixedly connected to the air conditioner gateway assembly 2. A flexible wire 3 is fixedly connected inside the air conditioner gateway assembly 2. An adjusting assembly 4 is slidably connected inside the air conditioner gateway assembly 2. An additional component 5 is installed inside the air conditioner gateway assembly 2. The air conditioner gateway assembly 2 includes an air conditioner gateway body 21. A polygonal groove 22 is opened inside the right end of the air conditioner gateway body 21. A cylindrical rotating groove 23 is opened inside the air conditioner gateway body 21. A sealing ring 24 is fixedly connected inside the cylindrical rotating groove 23 opened by the air conditioner gateway body 21. An annular rotating groove 25 is opened inside the air conditioner gateway body 21. A spring fixing groove 26 is opened inside the air conditioner gateway body 21. An operation groove 27 is opened at the right end of the air conditioner gateway body 21. The additional component 5 includes a protection board 51. A rotating rod 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the protection board 51. A hairspring 53 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 52. A module base 54 is fixedly connected to one side of the protection board 51. A ratchet 55 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 52. A function module 56 is installed inside the module base 54. The rotating rod 52 is rotatably connected inside the cylindrical rotating groove 23 opened by the air conditioner gateway body 21. One side of the flexible wire 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the protection board 51.

[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, the opening shape of the multi-shaped groove 22 is a rectangular body and a cylinder. The opening shape at the upper end of the multi-shaped groove 22 is a rectangular body. The upper end of the multi-shaped groove 22 penetrates through the right end of the upper part of the air-conditioning gateway body 21, facilitating the sliding of the hand-pulled slide plate 41 and the connecting column 42 inside the multi-shaped groove 22. According to the shapes of the multi-shaped groove 22 and the hand-pulled slide plate 41, the hand-pulled slide plate 41 and the connecting column 42 can only move up and down and cannot rotate;

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, the multi-shaped groove 22, the fixed spring groove 26, the cylindrical rotating groove 23, and the annular rotating groove 25 are connected. The number of cylindrical rotating grooves 23 corresponds one-to-one with the number of fixed spring grooves 26. The cylindrical rotating grooves 23 and the fixed spring grooves 26 are opened at the front end and the rear end of the air-conditioning gateway body 21. The opening shapes of the cylindrical rotating grooves 23 and the fixed spring grooves 26 are both cylinders, and the opening shape of the annular rotating groove 25 is a ring, which plays a role in limiting the rotation direction of the rotating rod 52 and the protection plate 51;

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the shape of the rotating rod 52 is a cylinder. One end of the clockwork spring 53 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed spring groove 26 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21. The number of rotating rods 52 and clockwork springs 53 is two. The outer side of the rotating rod 52 is in contact with the inner side of the sealing ring 24. Under the torque action of the clockwork spring 53, it keeps the left side of the protection plate 51 in contact with the left side of the operation groove 27;

[0034] As a further implementation of this solution, the ratchet 55 is installed inside the annular rotating groove 25. The front view shape of the protection plate 51 is an "L" shape. The top end of the protection plate 51 is flush with the top end of the air-conditioning gateway body 21, and the right side of the protection plate 51 is flush with the right side of the air-conditioning gateway body 21. An installation groove is opened inside the module base 54. The soft wire 3 is electrically connected to the module base 54 through the inside of the protection plate 51. The module base 54 is electrically connected to the functional module 56. Under the meshing action of the slope lock block 44 and the ratchet 55, it plays a role in limiting the rotation direction of the protection plate 51 and the rotating rod 52, facilitating the operation of the connection between the functional module 56 and the module base 54 after the protection plate 51 rotates 90 degrees;

[0035] As a further implementation of this solution, the adjustment component 4 includes a hand-pulled slide plate 41. A connecting column 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hand-pulled slide plate 41. A spring 43 is fixedly connected to the top end of the hand-pulled slide plate 41. A slope block 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting column 42. The outer side of the ratchet wheel 55 meshes with the lower end of the slope block 44. The hand-pulled slide plate 41 slides inside the polygonal groove 22 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21. The top end of the spring 43 is fixedly connected to the top end of the polygonal groove 22 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21. There is a spacing between the top end of the connecting column 42 and the top end of the polygonal groove 22 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21. After pulling up the hand-pulled slide plate 41, under the torque of the clockwork spring 53, the protection plate 51 fits against the left side of the operation slot 27 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21, having the function of protecting the functional module 56, preventing external objects from colliding with the functional module 56 and the module base 54, and ensuring that the service life of the device is not affected.

[0036] Working process: During the use of the device, when it is necessary to add, subtract, and maintain the functional module 56, rotate the protection plate 51 with the rotating rod 52 as the axis. The protection plate 51 is rotatably connected to the air-conditioning gateway body 21 through the rotating rod 52, playing a role in limiting the rotation angle of the protection plate 51. At this time, the left side of the upper end of the protection plate 51 is away from the left side of the operation slot 27 opened in the air-conditioning gateway body 21. The rotation of the rotating rod 52 drives the clockwork spring 53 to deform. Under the torque of the clockwork spring 53, it keeps the left side of the protection plate 51 in contact with the left side of the operation slot 27. When the rotating rod 52 rotates, it drives the ratchet wheel 55 to rotate. The outer side of the ratchet wheel 55 meshes with the lower end of the slope block 44. When the ratchet wheel 55 rotates, it continuously squeezes the slope block 44. The tooth direction of the ratchet wheel 55 plays a role in limiting the rotation direction of the protection plate 51. Under the condition that the slope block 44 meshes with the ratchet wheel 55, the rotating rod 52 and the ratchet wheel 55 can only rotate in one direction. The ratchet wheel 55 continuously squeezes the slope block 44, and the slope block 44 drives the connecting column 42 and the hand-pulled slide plate 41 to move upward. Under the elastic force of the spring 43, the slope block 44 is kept in mesh with the ratchet wheel 55. After the protection plate 51 rotates 90 degrees, insert the functional module 56 into the installation slot of the module base 54, or take out the functional module 56, which is convenient for adding, subtracting, and maintaining the functional module 56, improving the convenience of user use. After the processing of the functional module 56 is completed, pull the hand-pulled slide plate 41 upward. The hand-pulled slide plate 41 slides inside the polygonal groove 22. According to the shapes of the hand-pulled slide plate 41 and the polygonal groove 22, the hand-pulled slide plate 41 can only move up and down. When the slope block 44 disengages from the meshing with the functional module 56, under the torque of the clockwork spring 53, the protection plate 51 is automatically reset, making the left side of the protection plate 51 fit against the left side of the operation slot 27. At the same time, the flexible wire 3 moves to a certain extent. The flexible wire 3 belongs to a flexible wire and does not affect the normal rotation of the protection plate 51. The flexible wire 3 plays a role in electrically connecting the module base 54, the functional module 56, and the devices inside the air-conditioning gateway body 21.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
