Detailed implementation manners

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In this article, relative terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. The orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "top", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, a maintenance opening component includes an installation frame 2 embedded in a panel 1 and a cover plate assembly movably connected to the installation frame 2. The cover plate assembly includes a rotating bracket 3 and a maintenance cover plate 4 arranged outside the rotating bracket 3. The rotating bracket 3 is rotatably connected to the installation frame 2 to drive the maintenance cover plate 4 to be buckled or separated from the installation frame 2.

[0031] By setting the rotating bracket 3 to drive the maintenance cover plate 4 to flip, the structure for connecting and rotating is arranged on the rotating bracket 3, and the outer surface of the maintenance cover plate 4 is flat. Thus, when the maintenance port is closed and the maintenance cover plate 4 is buckled on the installation frame 2, the appearance consistency between the maintenance cover plate 4 and the panel 1 is ensured.

[0032] Specifically, a switch slot is arranged on the installation frame 2, and a matching switch plug is arranged on the rotating bracket 3. The rotating bracket 3 and the maintenance cover plate 4 are buckled by clamping the switch plug and the switch slot, so that the panel switch clamps the cover plate assembly to achieve the purpose of closing the maintenance port.

[0033] Preferably, a groove is arranged on the panel 1 to fix the installation frame 2, and the depth of the groove matches the thickness of the cover plate assembly. Thus, after the maintenance cover plate 4 is buckled, the maintenance cover plate 4 is flush with the surface of the panel 1, improving the flatness and aesthetics of the maintenance port.

[0034] Preferably, the maintenance cover plate 4 given in this application adopts a sheet metal design, and its outer surface is spray-treated with the same color as the overall appearance color of the machine. While being convenient to open and close, it can ensure that the maintenance cover plate 4 is not damaged in the harsh outdoor environment, and the sheet metal cover plate can maintain the appearance consistency of the whole machine.

[0035] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, a flange is arranged on one side of the maintenance cover plate 4 close to the rotating bracket 3. The flange is distributed along the circumferential side of the maintenance cover plate 4, and a clamping portion for connecting with the rotating bracket 3 is arranged on the flange.

[0036] The flange is set to protect the rotating bracket 3, and at the same time, cooperate with the clamping portion to limit and guide the rotating bracket 3, ensuring that the maintenance cover plate 4 is closely attached to the rotating bracket 3. Thus, the movement of the maintenance cover plate 4 is smoother and it is convenient to close or open.

[0037] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, the clamping portion is set as a return hook extending towards the inner side of the maintenance cover plate 4. A clamping groove is formed between the return hook and the maintenance cover plate 4, and the rotating bracket 3 is clamped in the clamping groove and is detachably connected to the clamping groove.

[0038] The return hook is set to form a clamping groove to fix the rotating bracket 3. While the return hook structure ensures the limiting effect, it has a simple structure and is convenient for the installation or disassembly of the rotating bracket 3.

[0039] Preferably, the return hook is bent towards the side close to the maintenance cover plate 4 to form an insertion guiding space, which matches the edge shape of the rotating bracket 3, thus ensuring the clamping and fixing effect.

[0040] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, the clamping groove includes symmetrically arranged first clamping grooves 5, and positioning columns 6 that match the first clamping grooves 5 and can be inserted into the first clamping grooves 5 are arranged on the circumferential side of the rotating bracket 3.

[0041] Specifically, the first clamping grooves 5 are symmetrically arranged along the left - right direction of the maintenance cover plate 4, and cooperate with the positioning columns 6 to respectively clamp the two sides of the rotating bracket 3, ensuring the positioning and guiding effect.

[0042] Preferably, multiple groups of the first clamping grooves 5 are arranged along the up - down direction of the maintenance cover plate 4. The multiple groups of the first clamping grooves 5 improve the guiding and connecting effect on the maintenance cover plate 4. In this application, two groups of the first clamping grooves 5 are set to conduct guiding and positioning on the upper and lower ends of the left and right sides of the rotating bracket 3.

[0043] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, the positioning column 6 includes a cylindrical end and a conical end. The diameter of the cylindrical end is not greater than the width of the first clamping groove 5, and the diameter of the conical end decreases in the direction away from the cylindrical end.

[0044] Specifically, the positioning columns 6 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rotating bracket 3, and the positions of the positioning columns 6 are determined according to the positions of the hook - shaped folded edges on the maintenance cover plate 4. Each positioning column 6 is divided into two sections. The cylindrical end is a standard cylinder, and its cylinder diameter is slightly smaller than the width of the first clamping groove 5 on the maintenance cover plate 4 to ensure that the positioning column 6 can enter the first clamping groove 5; the conical end is conical, and its head diameter is smaller than the tail diameter. When the positioning column 6 is inserted into the first clamping groove 5, the conical end enters the first clamping groove 5 first to play a guiding role, enabling quick installation.

[0045] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, the clamping groove further includes a second clamping groove 7 located at the upper part of the maintenance cover plate 4. An insertion tongue 8 that matches the second clamping groove 7 and can be inserted into the second clamping groove 7 is provided on the rotating bracket 3, and a protrusion that matches the second clamping groove 7 is provided at the end of the insertion tongue 8.

[0046] Specifically, an insertion tongue 8 is provided at the upper part of the rotating bracket 3. The insertion tongue 8 is conical, and the thickness of its head is smaller, and the thickness at the thickest part of its tail is slightly smaller than the width of the second clamping groove 7. When installing the rotating bracket 3, the positioning column 6 cooperates with the first clamping groove 5 for positioning, and then the relative positions of the rotating bracket 3 and the maintenance cover plate 4 are fixed by the clamping of the insertion tongue 8 and the second clamping groove 7.

[0047] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, the length of the rotating bracket 3 is the same as the length of the maintenance cover plate 4, the width of the rotating bracket 3 is smaller than the width of the maintenance cover plate 4, and the rotating bracket 3 can slide and adjust along the width direction of the maintenance cover plate 4.

[0048] By setting the length direction of the rotating bracket 3 to be the same as the inner length of the maintenance cover plate 4 and the width of the rotating bracket 3 to be smaller than that of the maintenance cover plate 4 in the width direction, when combining the maintenance cover plate 4 and the rotating bracket 3, such as Figure 4As shown, the rotating bracket 3 is placed inside the inspection cover 4 so that the two are flush with each other, the positioning column 6 is offset from the first snap-in groove 5, and then the rotating bracket 3 is pushed upward in the width direction, and the positioning column 6 and the insert tongue 8 of the rotating bracket 3 are respectively inserted into the snap-in grooves of the inspection cover 4.

[0049] Since the insertion tongue 8 and the positioning column 6 are both conical structures with a small head and a large tail, the entire insertion process is relatively smooth. Since the length of the rotating bracket 3 is almost equal to the internal length of the inspection cover 4, the rotating bracket 3 inserted into the inspection cover 4 can only be withdrawn in the opposite direction of the insertion direction, and the freedom in the remaining directions is restricted, thereby achieving the fixation of the two.

[0050] Through the above structure, after the assembled cover assembly and the mounting frame 2 are inserted into the recessed frame of the panel 1, when the inspection cover 4 is opened, since the entire inspection opening is installed vertically, the inspection cover 4 can only overcome gravity and move upward if it wants to be separated from the rotating bracket 3. Therefore, if there is no large bump, it can be ensured that the inspection cover 4 will not fall out during the opening and closing process.

[0051] Preferably, it matches the concave frame on the panel 1. When the inspection cover 4 is covered, the entire inspection cover 4 is restricted by the concave frame of the panel 1 in upward and downward displacement, and the inspection cover 4 cannot be separated from the rotating bracket 3 at this time.

[0052] In the inspection port component of this embodiment, a long hook 11 is provided on the rotating bracket 3, a boss 10 is provided on the side of the long hook 11, and an extension plate 9 is provided on the return hook away from the side of the rotating bracket 3 and the mounting frame rotation axis 1, and a through hole is opened on the extension plate 9 to which the boss 10 can be inserted.

[0053] Specifically, in order to further ensure that the inspection cover 4 will not fall out, an additional bent edge is provided at the end of a hook-shaped folded edge near the outside of the inspection cover 4 to form an extension plate 9, and a circular hole is opened on the bent edge. A vertical long hook 11 is arranged at the corresponding position of the rotating bracket 3, and a 1-2 mm circular boss 10 is arranged in the middle of the outer wall. The boss 10 is arranged to be about 3 / 4 as a slope. When the rotating bracket 3 is inserted into the inspection cover 4, the sloped boss 10 can prevent the insertion process from getting stuck; when it is inserted into place, the boss 10 also fits into the circular hole of the extension plate 9, and the boss 10 cooperates with the circular hole to prevent the inspection cover 4 from falling out and separating from the rotating bracket 3.

[0054] Preferably, the circular hole can also be used for hanging the inspection cover plate 4 during spraying.

[0055] In the inspection port component of this embodiment, a fan-shaped rotating shaft 12 is provided at one end of the rotating bracket 3, and a rotating shaft body is fixed to the end of the fan-shaped rotating shaft 12. An opening slot 13 is provided at one end of the mounting frame 2, and the rotating shaft body is clamped in the opening slot 13 and rotatably connected to the opening slot 13.

[0056] Specifically, the rotating shaft body of the rotating bracket 3 is snapped into the opening slot 13 on the left side of the installation frame 2, and the maintenance cover plate 4 is snapped onto the rotating bracket 3. A cylindrical shaft is provided at the edge of the sector-shaped rotating shaft 12 and is installed in the opening slot 13, and the rotation of the cylindrical shaft realizes the rotation.

[0057] In the maintenance port component of this embodiment, a rectangular hole is opened on the panel 1, and the long hook 11 is snapped into the rectangular hole.

[0058] Specifically, considering the potential failure hazard of the panel switch, it is necessary to limit the opening of the maintenance cover plate 4 in time when the switch fails. A rectangular hole is made on the panel 1 to ensure that the long hook 11 of the rotating bracket 3 can pass through the hole, and the long hook 11 is used to limit the panel 1. The height and thickness of the long hook 11 are set with matching dimensions, which is convenient for manual opening and can also prevent the maintenance cover plate 4 from opening automatically.

[0059] On the other hand, the present application also proposes an air conditioner, including a maintenance port component described in any one of the above.

[0060] It is easy to think that the air conditioner in the present application includes all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned maintenance port component, which will not be elaborated here.
