Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more specifically, to an air conditioner inlet panel assembly and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology and the increasing improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an essential household appliance in people's lives. With the increasing maturity of technology in the household appliance field and the increasingly fierce competition, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the quality of air conditioners.

[0003] In the prior art, the air conditioner housing is usually composed of an upper cover, a front panel, a rear cover, a bottom plate, and two side plates. Among them, the rear cover includes an integrally formed rear cover body (inlet panel), an air inlet channel is provided on the rear cover body, the water pump of the air conditioner is usually arranged inside the air conditioner near the rear cover body, and a pipeline communicating with the water pump is also provided on the rear cover body. When the water pump fails and needs to be repaired, the entire rear cover body needs to be disassembled. Since the rear cover body is an integrally formed structure with a relatively large volume and there is also a pipeline structure installed on the rear cover body, the disassembly is inconvenient and the maintenance difficulty is increased. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is that when the water pump fails and needs to be repaired, it is necessary to disassemble the large-sized rear cover body, and there are other associated components on the rear cover body, making disassembly and installation difficult, resulting in low maintenance efficiency of the water pump.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an air conditioner inlet panel assembly, which includes: a first inlet panel provided with a maintenance opening; a second inlet panel provided with a first air inlet hole; wherein, the second inlet panel is detachably arranged on the maintenance opening.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows:

[0007] The original integral rear cover body is divided into two parts, namely the first inlet panel and the second inlet panel. By opening a maintenance opening on the first inlet panel and detachably arranging the second inlet panel at the maintenance opening, when repairing the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner, the second inlet panel can be disassembled, and the hand can be inserted into the air conditioner from the maintenance opening to repair the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner. Compared with disassembling the large-sized rear cover body that is associated with other components, the second inlet panel has a relatively small size and is an independent plate piece without any other components associated with it, so the disassembly and assembly are more convenient and fast, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the water pump.

[0008] Further, a reinforcing plate is provided on the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel at a certain angle thereto. When the second air inlet panel is connected to the first air inlet panel body, the outer end of the reinforcing plate abuts against the first air inlet panel.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: It can be understood that by providing a reinforcing plate at a certain angle on the outer periphery of the air inlet panel, an inclined reinforcing structure can be formed on the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel, thereby improving the overall strength of the air inlet panel; avoiding problems such as deformation due to insufficient strength of the air inlet panel.

[0010] Further, the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel is bent towards the side of the first air inlet panel to form the reinforcing plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: By setting the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel to be bent towards the side of the first air inlet panel to form the reinforcing plate, that is, the second air inlet panel and the reinforcing plate are an integrally formed structure. Compared with the split structure, the integrally formed second air inlet panel and reinforcing plate are more convenient to process and have higher strength.

[0012] Further, the maintenance opening is a rectangular opening, and connecting plates are provided at the four corners of the rectangular opening. First connecting holes are provided on each of the connecting plates; second connecting holes are provided at positions corresponding to the first connecting holes on the second air inlet panel.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: By setting the maintenance opening as a rectangular opening and providing connecting plates with first connecting holes at the four corners of the rectangular opening, and second connecting holes at the corresponding positions on the second air inlet panel, the opening area of the maintenance opening can be increased as much as possible on the limited first air inlet panel, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the internal components of the air conditioner from the maintenance opening. In addition, compared with the detachable structure connected by buckles, the present application uses threaded connectors to achieve the detachable installation of the second air inlet panel, and the structural design is simpler. Only holes need to be opened on the first air inlet panel and the second air inlet panel, and there is no need to design a complex buckle structure.

[0014] Further, a second air inlet hole is also provided on the first air inlet panel, and the second air inlet hole is located above the maintenance opening.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: By providing a second air inlet hole on the first air inlet panel above the maintenance opening, the area of the air inlet channel on the air inlet panel assembly of the air conditioner can be increased, further improving the air inlet effect of the air inlet panel assembly of the air conditioner.

[0016] Further, the present utility model provides an air conditioner, which includes any one of the air conditioner air inlet panel assemblies described above.

[0017] After adopting the technical solution of the present utility model, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0018] (1) The original integral rear cover body is divided into two parts, namely a first air inlet panel and a second air inlet panel. By opening a maintenance opening on the first air inlet panel and detachably arranging the second air inlet panel at the maintenance opening, when maintaining the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner, the second air inlet panel can be disassembled, and a hand can be inserted into the air conditioner from the maintenance opening to maintain the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner. Compared with disassembling the large-sized rear cover body that is associated with other components, the size of the second air inlet panel is relatively small, and it is an independent plate member without any other components associated with it, so it is more convenient and fast to disassemble and assemble, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the water pump.

[0019] (2) It can be understood that by arranging a reinforcing plate at an angle with the air inlet panel on the outer periphery of the air inlet panel, an inclined reinforcing structure can be formed on the outer periphery of the air inlet panel, thereby improving the overall strength of the air inlet panel; avoiding problems such as deformation due to insufficient strength of the air inlet panel. By arranging the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel to be bent towards the first air inlet panel to form a reinforcing plate, that is, the second air inlet panel and the reinforcing plate are integrally formed, compared with the split structure, the integrally formed second air inlet panel and reinforcing plate are more convenient to process and have higher strength.

[0020] (3) By setting the maintenance opening as a rectangular opening and arranging connecting plates with first connection holes at the four corners of the rectangular opening, and opening second connection holes at the corresponding positions of the second air inlet panel, the opening area of the maintenance opening can be increased as much as possible on the limited first air inlet panel, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the internal components of the air conditioner from the maintenance opening. In addition, compared with the detachable structure connected by buckles, the present application uses threaded connectors to realize the detachable installation of the second air inlet panel, and the structural design is simpler. Only holes need to be opened on the first air inlet panel and the second air inlet panel, and there is no need to design a complex buckle structure. Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners

[0029] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description will be given to the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural view of an air conditioner 200 provided by the present utility model. Among them, an air conditioner air inlet panel assembly 100 is provided on the air inlet side of the air conditioner 200. Refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the air conditioner air inlet panel assembly 100 includes, for example: a first air inlet panel 10 and a second air inlet panel 20. Specifically, the first air inlet panel 10 is provided with a maintenance opening 11; the second air inlet panel 20 is detachably disposed on the maintenance opening 11; and a second air inlet hole 24 is provided on the second air inlet panel 20. For example, the second air inlet panel 20 can be detachably installed in the form of a threaded connector, or can be detachably installed in the form of a snap connector, etc., as long as the detachable installation can be achieved, and the specific structure is not limited here.

[0031] It can be understood that the original integral rear cover body is divided into two parts, namely the first air inlet panel 10 and the second air inlet panel 20. By opening a maintenance opening 11 on the first air inlet panel 10 and detachably arranging the second air inlet panel 20 at the maintenance opening 11, when performing maintenance on the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner 200, the second air inlet panel 20 can be detached, and a hand can be inserted into the air conditioner 200 from the maintenance opening 112 to perform maintenance on the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner 200. Compared with detaching the large-sized rear cover body that is associated with other components, the second air inlet panel 20 is relatively small in size, and it is an independent plate member without any other components associated with it, so the disassembly and assembly are more convenient and fast, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the water pump.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the air conditioner includes an air conditioning system and a water system, and the water system can perform heat exchange with the evaporator of the air conditioning system. Among them, the water system is provided with a water pump, and the water pump is installed at a position near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner. When maintenance needs to be performed on the water pump, the second air inlet panel 20 can be detached, and the water pump can be maintained through the maintenance opening 11; after the maintenance of the water pump is completed, the second air inlet panel 20 is reinstalled at the maintenance opening 11.

[0033] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 21 at a certain angle is arranged on the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel 20. When the second air inlet panel 20 is connected to the first air inlet panel 10 body, the outer end of the reinforcing plate 21 abuts against the first air inlet panel 10. By arranging the reinforcing plate 21 at a certain angle on the outer periphery of the air inlet panel, an inclined reinforcing structure can be formed on the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel 20, thereby improving the overall strength of the second air inlet panel 20; avoiding problems such as deformation due to insufficient strength of the air inlet panel.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel 20 is bent toward the side of the first air inlet panel 10 to form the reinforcing plate 21. By setting the outer periphery of the second air inlet panel 20 to be bent toward the side of the first air inlet panel 10 to form the reinforcing plate 21, that is, the second air inlet panel 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 are of an integrally formed structure. Compared with a split structure, the integrally formed second air inlet panel 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 are more convenient to process and have higher strength.

[0035] Furthermore, the maintenance opening 11 is a rectangular opening, and connecting plates 12 are arranged at the four corners of the rectangular opening. First connection holes 13 are opened on each of the connecting plates 12; second connection holes 23 are opened at positions corresponding to the first connection holes 13 at the four corners of the second air inlet panel 20.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, 4 first connection holes 13 are provided on the first air inlet panel 10, and 4 second connection holes 23 are provided on the second air inlet panel 20; 4 threaded connectors pass through the second connection holes 23 and the first connection holes 13 to install the second air inlet panel 20 at the maintenance opening 11; when it is necessary to perform maintenance on the water pump, only need to screw out the 4 threaded connectors, then the second air inlet panel 20 can be removed, and then reach into the interior of the air conditioner through the maintenance opening 11 to perform maintenance on the water pump arranged at the position close to the air inlet side inside the air conditioner; after the maintenance is completed, then install the second air inlet panel 20 back to the maintenance opening 11 through the 4 threaded connectors. In the above structure, by setting the maintenance opening 11 as a rectangular opening, and arranging a connecting plate 12 with the first connection holes 13 at the four corners of the rectangular opening, and opening the second connection holes 23 at the corresponding positions of the second air inlet panel 20, the opening area of the maintenance opening 11 can be increased as much as possible on the limited first air inlet panel 10, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the internal components of the air conditioner from the maintenance opening 11. In addition, compared with the detachable structure connected by buckles, the present application uses threaded connectors to realize the detachable installation of the second air inlet panel 20, and the structural design is simpler, only need to open holes on the first air inlet panel 10 and the second air inlet panel 20, without the need to design a complex buckle structure.

[0037] Further, a second air inlet hole 14 is also opened on the first air inlet panel 10, and the second air inlet hole 14 is located above the maintenance opening 11. In the above structure, by opening the second air inlet hole 14 located above the maintenance opening 11 on the first air inlet panel 10, the area of the air inlet channel on the air inlet panel assembly 100 of the air conditioner can be increased, and the air inlet effect of the air inlet panel assembly 100 of the air conditioner can be further improved.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible to choose to further lengthen the length of the maintenance opening 11, which is equivalent to further transferring the position of the second air inlet hole 14 to the second air inlet panel 20. In terms of processing, the process is simplified, but the longer the second air inlet panel 20 is, and the first air inlet hole 24 and the second air inlet hole 14 also need to be opened on its surface, which will inevitably lead to a weakening of the overall strength of the second air inlet panel 20 and it is easy to deform. Therefore, the specific selection of the structure here can be based on the actual design dimensions and strength requirements.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first air inlet hole 24 and the second air inlet hole 14 are honeycomb hexagonal through-hole structures, which are not only beautiful in appearance but also have good heat dissipation effects.

[0040] In addition, the present invention also provides an air conditioner 200, which includes any one of the above-mentioned air conditioner air inlet panel assemblies 100. The air conditioner 200 has the advantages of the above-mentioned air conditioner air inlet panel assembly 100 at the same time, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Although the present utility model is disclosed as above, the protection scope disclosed by the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, and these changes and modifications will all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
