[0045] Figure 1 is a schematic exploded view of an indoor cabinet air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0046] Reference Figure 1As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a housing 30 for an indoor cabinet unit 10 of an air conditioner. The housing 30, as the outer shell of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner, includes a front panel 32 and a decorative panel 34. An operation opening is provided on the front panel 32, and the decorative panel 34 is detachably arranged on the front panel 32 for covering the operation opening. The outer shell of this embodiment generally further includes a base 38 and a rear cover 36. The front panel 32 and the rear cover 36 are detachably fixed front and back and are arranged on the base 38. The three form the main part of the outer shell of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner.

[0047] For the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner in this embodiment, a function module 40 for providing specific functions can be arranged inside the housing 30. The front side of the function module 40 is exposed at the operation opening of the front panel 32, and the user can operate the function module 40 through the operation opening. The decorative panel 34 is detachably arranged on the front panel 32 for covering the operation opening usually, making the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner beautiful and preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner through the operation opening. The function module 40 can be a water tank module for cleaning the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner or assisting in providing a humidification function. Through the operation opening, the user can detach the water storage container of the water tank module and change the water. The function module 40 can also be a fresh air filtration module. Through the operation opening, the user can replace the filter element of the fresh air filtration module or add an air freshener. The function module 40 can also be a function module 40 with other functions, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0048] The indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner in this embodiment generally further includes other necessary structures or components of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner, such as a blower fan, a heat exchanger, etc. However, in order to more clearly show the specific structure of the housing 30, in this embodiment Figure 1 the above-mentioned structures or components are all hidden.

[0049] Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the front panel 32 of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner shown in the figure, and the front side of the front panel 32 is shown. In order to more clearly show the local part of the front panel 32, Figure 2 the unnecessary part of the front panel 32 is hidden by using a break line. Figure 3 is Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the decorative panel 34 of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner shown in the figure, and the rear side of the decorative panel 34 is shown. In order to more clearly show the local part of the decorative panel 34, Figure 3 the unnecessary part of the decorative panel 34 is hidden by using a break line. Figure 4 is Figure 1 a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the indoor cabinet unit 10 of the air conditioner shown in the figure, and specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of the first positioning structure 322 and the first mating structure 342 when the decorative panel 34 is arranged on the front panel 32.

[0050] The detachable decorative panels of existing indoor cabinet air conditioners are generally connected and fixed to the front panel through a plug-in buckle structure. After long-term use, the buckle structure is prone to aging, deformation, or even damage, seriously affecting the user experience. To avoid this problem, the housing 30 of this embodiment connects the decorative panel 34 and the front panel 32 magnetically, eliminating the problem of easy aging, deformation, or even damage of the buckle structure, thus improving the user experience.

[0051] However, if the decorative panel 34 and the front panel 32 are only connected magnetically, the decorative panel 34 will slide downward under the influence of its own weight. To fix the decorative panel 34 on the front panel 32, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, the housing 30 of this embodiment forms one or more first positioning structures 322 at the bottom of the front panel 32, and one or more first mating structures 342 are formed at the bottom of the decorative panel 34. Each first mating structure 342 is in contact with a first positioning structure 322 to support the decorative panel 34 and prevent the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 from moving back and forth relative to the front panel 32.

[0052] It can be understood that the front-back direction described in this embodiment is based on the front-back direction of the indoor cabinet air conditioner 10. Briefly, the decorative panel 34 is located on the front side of the front panel 32, and the positional relationships of other structures or components are adapted accordingly.

[0053] To support the decorative panel 34 on the front panel 32 and prevent the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 from moving back and forth relative to the front panel 32, on the one hand, at least a part of the bottom of the decorative panel 34 needs to be placed above the front panel 32, and on the other hand, a structure extending to the rear side of the front panel 32 needs to be formed at the bottom of the decorative panel 34.

[0054] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, in some alternative embodiments, to improve the fixing effect of the front panel 32 on the bottom end of the decorative panel 34, the first positioning structure 322 protrudes upward at the bottom of the front panel 32; the first mating structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A with an 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 back and forth relative to the front panel 32.

[0055] The first positioning structure 322 of this embodiment is formed by protruding upward, and the first mating structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A with an opening downward. The rear part of the first mating structure 342 can be inserted into the rear side of the first positioning structure 322 and abuts against the rear end of the first positioning structure 322, so that the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 is fixed in the front-back direction relative to the front panel 32.

[0056] It should be noted that, without special explanation, descriptions in the present utility model such as extending or formed along the up-and-down, front-and-back directions or the transverse direction are all referring to extending or formed along the directly upward, directly downward, directly forward, directly backward directions or the transverse direction with respect to the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner. For example, if the opening of the positioning cavity 34A faces downward, then the positioning cavity 34A must have at least one inner wall located in the vertical plane, so that the opening of the positioning cavity 34A faces directly downward instead of obliquely downward.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, one or more forward positioning openings 32A are provided 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. The first mating structure 342 is formed to protrude backward on the rear surface of the decorative plate 34, and the height of the first mating 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 mating structure 342 can be inserted into the positioning opening 32A from above the first positioning structure 322.

[0058] In order to reduce the influence of the arrangement of the first positioning structure 322 and the first mating structure 342 on the overall front-and-back dimension of the casing 30 in this embodiment, one or more forward positioning openings 32A are particularly provided 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. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the front end of the first positioning structure 322 in this embodiment can be substantially flush with the front surface of the front panel 32, that is to say, the first positioning structure 322 does not significantly protrude from the front surface of the front panel 32.

[0059] The first mating structure 342 is formed to protrude backward on the rear surface of the decorative plate 34. When the decorative plate 34 is installed on the front panel 32, the first mating structure 342 can be first inserted into the positioning opening 32A backward, and then the decorative plate 34 is moved downward so that the first positioning structure 322 is inserted into the positioning cavity 34A, and the Figure 4 shown fixed position can be achieved.

[0060] The first mating structure 342 is configured to have a height less than the distance between the first positioning structure 322 and the top of the positioning opening 32A for facilitating insertion into the positioning opening 32A. The height of the first mating structure 342 refers to the distance from its upper end to its lower end in the height direction.

[0061] The arrangement of the first positioning structure 322 and the first mating structure 342 in this embodiment enables the front panel 32 and the decorative plate 34 to be closer, making the appearance of the front panel 32 more concise and not looking bulky due to the positioning structure protruding forward from the front panel 32.

[0062] Refer to Figure 3As shown, the first mating structure 342 forms a positioning cavity 34A with an opening facing downward, and the positioning cavity 34A is jointly enclosed by the decorative plate 34, the top wall, the rear wall, and the two side walls of the first mating structure 342. Since the first mating structure 342 only has a downward opening, and its rear wall is jointly connected to the decorative plate 34 through the top wall and the two side walls, the first mating structure 342 has stronger anti-deformation ability and is not easily damaged.

[0063] On the front panel 32 and the decorative plate 34 of this embodiment, multiple first positioning structures 322 and multiple first mating structures 342 can be respectively formed at intervals as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 or a first positioning structure 322 and a first mating structure 342 with a longer transverse length can be respectively formed.

[0064] Referring to Figure 4 as shown, in some alternative embodiments, an inclined surface is formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first mating structure 342; and the top surface of the positioning opening 32A is an inclined surface.

[0065] The inclined surface formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first mating structure 342 makes the height of the rear wall of the first mating 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 mating structure 342 can slide obliquely downward along the top surface of the positioning opening 32A into the positioning opening 32A. The user continues to push the decorative plate 34 downward along the sliding direction, and the first positioning structure 322 can be inserted into the positioning cavity 34A of the first mating structure 342 to complete the installation and fixation.

[0066] Referring to Figure 4 as shown, in some alternative embodiments, an inclined surface is also formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first positioning structure 322.

[0067] The function of the inclined surface formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first positioning structure 322 is similar to that of the inclined surface formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first mating structure 342. When the first mating structure 342 moves downward, it is used to enable the bottom rear end of the first mating structure 342 to contact the surface of the first positioning structure 322 without moving to the deepest part of the positioning opening 32A, so that the first mating structure 342 can move downward along the inclined surface of the first positioning structure 322. The decorative plate 34 can complete alignment and installation without being closely attached to the front panel 32, thereby reducing the operation difficulty during installation.

[0068] In some alternative embodiments, the rear end of the first positioning structure 322 is located on a vertical plane and is configured to abut against the rear wall of the positioning cavity 34A. The vertical surfaces abutting against each other front and back can most effectively prevent the bottom end of the decorative plate 34 from moving back and forth relative to the front panel 32.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the first positioning structure 322 of this embodiment may include a straight wall extending horizontally, and a plurality of support ribs perpendicular to the straight wall. The inclined surface formed at the upper part of the rear end of the first positioning structure 322 and the vertical rear end may both be formed on the support ribs.

[0070] For the housing 30 of this embodiment, by providing the first positioning structure 322 and the first mating structure 342, the decorative panel 34 is supported and the bottom end is fixed front and rear relative to the front panel 32. At the same time, the decorative panel 34 is connected front and rear to the front panel 32 by means of magnetic attraction connection.

[0071] In order to further improve the fixing effect of the decorative panel 34 on the front panel 32, in some alternative embodiments, one or more second positioning structures 324 are further formed on the front panel 32, and one or more second mating structures 344 are further formed on the decorative panel 34; each second positioning structure 324 is connected to a second mating structure 344 to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more other directions other than the front-rear direction.

[0072] One or more other directions other than the front-rear direction include the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and may also include other directions between the horizontal and vertical directions. However, as long as the decorative panel 34 is simultaneously prevented from moving relative to the front panel 32 in the horizontal and vertical directions, it is equivalent to preventing movement in any direction other than the front-rear direction relative to the front panel 32, because other directions between the horizontal and vertical directions can all be decomposed into a combination of the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0073] On the basis that the housing 30 of this embodiment fixes the bottom end of the decorative panel 34 front and rear by providing the first positioning structure 322 and the first mating structure 342, in order to prevent the top end of the decorative panel 34 from moving horizontally relative to the front panel 32, the second positioning structure 324 and the second mating structure 344 are further provided. Each second positioning structure 324 is connected to a second mating structure 344 to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more other directions other than the front-rear direction.

[0074] The second positioning structure 324 and the second mating structure 344 can be connecting structures such as plugging structures of various arbitrary shapes, etc., and the second positioning structure 324 and the second mating structure 344 prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in the corresponding direction by abutting in any direction. It can be understood that only one second positioning structure 324 and one second mating structure 344 can be respectively formed on the front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34, and the second positioning structure 324 abuts against the second mating structure 344 at least on both the lateral and longitudinal sides, so as to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more other directions other than the front-back direction when only one second positioning structure 324 and one second mating structure 344 are formed.

[0075] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the second positioning structure 324 is a positioning hole 324 formed by an opening on the front surface of the front panel 32; the second mating structure 344 is a positioning member 344 protruding backward from the surface of the decorative panel 34. And each positioning member 344 is inserted into a positioning hole 324 and abuts against at least a part of the inner side wall of the positioning hole 324, so as to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in one or more other directions other than the front-back direction.

[0076] After the positioning member 344 described in this embodiment is inserted into the positioning hole 324, it 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 each positioning hole 324 for the positioning member 344 are not all the same, the decorative panel 34 can be prevented from moving relative to the front panel 32 in any other direction other than the front-back direction.

[0077] 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 in the positioning hole 324 at all, at this time, only one positioning hole 324 and one positioning member 344 need to be formed on the front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34 to prevent the decorative panel 34 from moving relative to the front panel 32 in any other direction other than the front-back direction.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the positioning member 344 is in a cylindrical shape 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 other directions other than the front-back direction.

[0079] Reference Figure 3As shown, the positioning member 344 of this embodiment protrudes backward from the rear surface of the decorative panel 34 and is cylindrical. The cylindrical positioning member 344 can have a solid internal structure or be hollow inside as shown in Figure 3 , and support ribs perpendicular to the surfaces of both the positioning member 344 and the decorative panel 34 can extend from both the inner and outer surfaces of the positioning member 344.

[0080] 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 two extending directions of its minimum inner diameter. For example, if the positioning hole 324 is a long strip extending vertically and its minimum inner diameter is in the horizontal direction, then the positioning hole 324 can abut against the positioning member 344 on both horizontal sides and prevent the positioning member 344 from moving horizontally within the positioning hole 324.

[0081] 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 between any two points on its inner wall. The minimum inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 being slightly larger than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344 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 that allows the positioning member 344 to move back and forth. This gap is usually less than or approximately equal to 0.1 mm on one side.

[0082] Refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some alternative 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.

[0083] The maximum longitudinal inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 located at the first height is greater than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum transverse inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, for preventing the positioning member 344 from moving horizontally; the maximum transverse inner diameter of the positioning hole 324 located at the second height is greater than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344, and its maximum longitudinal inner diameter is the minimum inner diameter, for preventing the positioning member 344 from moving longitudinally.

[0084] In this embodiment, in order to make it easier to calibrate the decorative panel 34 during the installation process onto the front panel 32, special settings are also made for the shape and position of the positioning holes 324. Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning holes 324 are divided into two groups with different heights on the front panel 32. Among them, the maximum longitudinal inner diameter of the positioning holes 324 located at the lower first height is greater 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. And the maximum transverse inner diameter of the positioning holes 324 located at the higher second height is greater 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.

[0085] This embodiment fully considers that when the user installs the decorative panel 34, in order to first connect the first mating structure 342 with the first positioning structure 322, the decorative panel 34 needs to be installed obliquely, 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 holes 324 and the positioning members 344 located at the lower height will come into contact first. Therefore, by setting the positioning holes 324 at the lower first height to prevent the positioning members 344 from moving laterally, it is easier for the user to align the decorative panel 34 horizontally with the front panel 32 when the opening degree of the decorative panel 34 is relatively large. The maximum longitudinal inner diameter being greater than the outer diameter of the positioning member 344 facilitates the easier insertion of the positioning member 344 that tilts with the decorative panel 34 into the positioning hole 324.

[0086] In some alternative embodiments, the horizontal cross-section of the front surface of the front panel 32 where the positioning holes 324 are provided is arc-shaped. The number of the positioning holes 324 at the first height is one and is located in the transverse middle of the front panel 32, so as to come into contact with the corresponding positioning members 344 first. And the number of the positioning holes 324 at the second height can be multiple and is symmetrically arranged horizontally.

[0087] The front panel 32 and the decorative panel 34 of the cabinet 30 of this embodiment are magnetically connected. Among them, one or more first magnetic members 328 are provided on the front panel 32, and one or more second magnetic members 348 are provided on the decorative panel 34. Each second magnetic member 348 is opposite to and magnetically connected to a first magnetic member 328 front and back.

[0088] Figure 5 Yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the insertion part 326 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown; Figure 6 Yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the first magnetic member 328 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown; Figure 7 Yes Figure 1 Schematic partial cross-sectional view of the front panel 32 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown, specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of the front panel 32 at an insertion part 326.

[0089] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, at the position corresponding to each first magnetic attraction member 328 on the front panel 32 of the chassis 30 in this embodiment, a plug-in portion 326 is provided, and a fixing cavity adapted to the shape of the first magnetic attraction member 328 is defined in the plug-in portion 326; each first magnetic attraction member 328 is detachably disposed in a fixing cavity, and thus is fixed on the front panel 32.

[0090] The first magnetic attraction member 328 in this embodiment is detachably disposed to facilitate assembly or replacement.

[0091] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the first magnetic attraction member 328 is a sheet with a uniform thickness.

[0092] The first magnetic attraction member 328 in this embodiment is a sheet with a uniform thickness to facilitate plug-in installation or disassembly. In some alternative embodiments, the first magnetic attraction member 328 is a magnet sheet. A magnet sheet with a uniform shape and thickness has a lower cost and a better magnetic retention effect. Therefore, the first magnetic attraction member 328 is generally preferably a magnet sheet with a uniform shape and thickness. Although the second magnetic attraction member 348 can also be a magnetic member with magnetism, considering that the second magnetic attraction member 348 may be moved to other positions along with the decorative plate 34 and is more likely to come into contact with metal impurities, the second magnetic attraction member 348 is generally made of a non-magnetic material, such as iron material.

[0093] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some alternative 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 on the front side of the plug-in portion 326; the rear surfaces of the one or more front baffles 3264 are in the same plane. Each rear baffle 3265 is located on the rear side of the plug-in portion 326; the front surfaces of the one or more rear baffles 3265 are in the same plane.

[0094] The front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 form a gap in the front-rear direction with a width equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic attraction member 328, so that the first magnetic attraction member 328 is clamped between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265.

[0095] The plug-in portion 326 can be integrally formed of a material with a certain elasticity. When the width of the gap between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic attraction member 328, the front baffle 3264 or the rear baffle 3265 can be slightly deformed to enable the first magnetic attraction member 328 to be inserted, and the first magnetic attraction member 328 is firmly clamped in the middle.

[0096] The plug-in part 326 can be installed on the front panel 32 in any way such as bonding or snap connection, and usually adopts a non-detachable way to ensure firm installation. The reason why the plug-in part 326 is not integrally formed with the front panel 32 but assembled and connected is that, on the one hand, there may be certain differences in the materials selected for the two, and on the other hand, if integrally formed, the complex structure of the plug-in part 326 will increase the difficulty of integral forming of the front panel 32 and affect the production cost. Of course, it can be understood that the plug-in part 326 can also be integrally formed with the front panel 32.

[0097] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the sum of the number of the front baffles 3264 and the rear baffles 3265 is not less than three. And when the number of the front baffles 3264 is multiple, there is a projection of a rear baffle 3265 on the vertical plane between the projections of every two front baffles 3264 on the vertical plane; and when the number of the rear baffles 3265 is multiple, there is a projection of a front baffle 3264 on the vertical plane between the projections of every two rear baffles 3265 on the vertical plane.

[0098] The front baffles 3264 and the rear baffles 3265 of this embodiment provide at least three spaced-apart rather than front-to-back facing clamping surfaces for the first magnetic attraction member 328, thereby firmly fixing the first magnetic attraction member 328 and allowing a certain degree of deformation of the first magnetic attraction member 328.

[0099] In some alternative embodiments, the number of the front baffles 3264 is one, and the number of the rear baffles 3265 is two. The number setting of the front baffles 3264 and the rear baffles 3265 in this embodiment is a relatively reasonable number setting, which can provide three triangular clamping surfaces for the first magnetic attraction member 328.

[0100] In some alternative embodiments, the gap width formed by the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 in the front-back direction is slightly smaller than the thickness of the first magnetic attraction member 328; the surface of the rear baffle 3265 forms a wavy structure that bends back and forth; and the bent end portion of the rear baffle 3265 at the front side forms a plane.

[0101] In this embodiment, the rear baffle 3265 is further set as Figure 5 shown in a wavy structure, so that the rear baffle 3265 is more likely to deform relative to the front baffle 3264, and the first magnetic attraction member 328 is firmly clamped in the middle.

[0102] In some alternative 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 member 328 and penetrating through the front and back is formed in the middle; the two parallel side walls 3262 and a bottom wall 3263 extend backward from the surface of the base 3261 respectively; the bottom wall 3263 connects one ends of the two side walls 3262, so as to enclose a fixing cavity having an insertion opening on the side away from the bottom wall 3263 together with the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in portion 326 of this embodiment includes a base 3261 having a through hole formed through the front and back in the middle, so as to be integrally in a long strip ring shape, and two side walls 3262 and a bottom wall 3263 extending backward from the surface of the base 3261. In an embodiment where the extending directions of each front baffle 3264 and each rear baffle 3265 as shown in Figure 5 are perpendicular to the insertion direction of the first magnetic member 328, the front baffle 3264 is connected to both sides of the middle of the base 3261, and the rear baffle 3265 is connected to the two side walls 3262, so as to enclose a fixing cavity having an insertion opening on the side away from the bottom wall 3263, enabling the first magnetic member 328 to be inserted into the fixing cavity from the insertion opening.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments, the plug-in portion 326 further includes a stop buckle 3267. The stop buckle 3267 extends backward from the surface of the base 3261 at the insertion opening, and is used to abut against the end of the first magnetic member 328 when the first magnetic member 328 is located in the fixing cavity, so as to prevent the first magnetic member 328 from leaving the fixing cavity.

[0105] Reference 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, so as to prevent the first magnetic member 328 from disengaging from the fixing cavity in the opposite direction of the insertion direction. The protruding length of the stop buckle 3267 is generally less than the gap width between the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265, so as to facilitate the insertion of the first magnetic member 328 into the fixing cavity without significant deformation.

[0106] In some alternative 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 on the side of the insertion opening, and extend from the surface of the base 3261 toward the inside of the through hole; the rear surfaces of the support edges 3266 are in the same plane as the rear surface of the front baffle 3264 to abut against the front surface of the first magnetic member 328.

[0107] The through hole in the middle of the base 3261 corresponds to the shape of the first magnetic member 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 on the side of the insertion port, both ends of the first magnetic member 328 can 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 member 328 can be clamped in cooperation with the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265.

[0108] In some alternative embodiments, each front baffle 3264 forms an inclined surface facing the insertion port at the rear surface edge near the insertion port; and each rear baffle 3265 forms an inclined surface facing the insertion port at the front surface edge near the insertion port.

[0109] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the inclined surfaces are formed at the positions of the front baffle 3264 and the rear baffle 3265 on the side of the fixed cavity and near the insertion port, so as to play a guiding role during the insertion process of the first magnetic member 328, making the installation of the first magnetic member 328 more convenient. The support edge 3266 on the side of the bottom wall 3263 can similarly form an inclined surface facing the insertion port at the rear surface edge near the insertion port and also play a guiding role during the insertion process of the first magnetic member 328.

[0110] In some alternative embodiments, the front panel 32 is provided with a through hole penetrating from front to back at a position corresponding to the plug-in portion 326, and a support platform 327 is formed by extending backward 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 from the front surface of the front panel 32 in the front-rear direction; the second magnetic member 348 is configured to extend into the through hole on the front panel 32 to be close to the first magnetic member 328 and magnetically connected.

[0111] Figure 8 is Figure 1 Another schematic partial cross-sectional view of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown, specifically 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 arranged on the front panel 32.

[0112] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the front panel 32 of this embodiment forms a through hole that penetrates from front to back at a position corresponding to the insertion part 326, and a support platform 327 is formed by extending backward from the edge of the through hole. The base 3261 of the insertion part 326 is arranged at the end of the support platform 327, so that the first magnetic part 328 is arranged in the through hole that is recessed backward on the front panel 32. The front surface of the front baffle 3264 is spaced from the front surface of the front panel 32 in the front-back direction. The second magnetic part 348 needs to extend into the through hole to fit onto the front surface of the front baffle 3264.

[0113] The support platform 327 of this embodiment is not limited to extending backward in the directly backward direction, but can contract toward the middle of the through hole while extending backward, so as to form a through hole with a smaller rear opening and a larger front opening, facilitating the alignment of the second magnetic part 348 during the installation of the decorative plate 34.

[0114] Figure 9 is Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic view of the decorative plate 34 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown. Figure 9 To clearly show the structures of the clamping part 346 and the second magnetic part 348 respectively, the decorative plate 34 is shown in a disassembled schematic view. Figure 10 is Figure 1 A schematic partial cross-sectional view of the decorative plate 34 of the indoor cabinet 10 of the air conditioner shown, specifically a schematic cross-sectional view of the decorative plate 34 when the second magnetic part 348 is arranged in the clamping part 346.

[0115] The front panel 32 of this embodiment forms a structure that is recessed backward at a position corresponding to the insertion part 326. On the one hand, it provides a lateral limit for the second magnetic part 348 to prevent the lateral movement of the second magnetic part 348, thereby improving the fixing effect of the decorative plate 34. On the other hand, it reserves enough space for the second magnetic part 348 so that the second magnetic part 348 can protrude from the decorative plate 34 without affecting the overall thickness of the decorative plate 34.

[0116] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, one or more second magnetic parts 348 are provided on the rear surface of the decorative plate 34 of this embodiment. Each second magnetic part 348 is magnetically connected to a first magnetic part 328 in a front-back opposite manner. The decorative plate 34 forms a clamping part 346 at a position corresponding to each second magnetic part 348, and each second magnetic part 348 is detachably arranged in a clamping part 346, thus being fixed on the decorative plate 34.

[0117] In some alternative embodiments, the snap - connection 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 by extending backward from the rear surface of the decorative plate 34. The two first clamping plates 3462 are respectively formed by extending 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 formed by extending from the side surface of the first side plate 3461 in the same extending direction as the first clamping plates 3462, and is spaced apart from the first clamping plates 3462 in the front - to - rear direction; the second magnetic attraction member 348 is configured to be inserted and clamped between the first clamping plates 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 faces the space between the two first clamping plates 3462 in the front - to - rear direction.

[0118] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the surface of the decorative plate 34 in this embodiment can be an arc surface, but the first side plate 3461 of the snap - connection portion 346 extends backward in the front - to - rear direction rather than in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the decorative plate 34. At the same time, the two first clamping plates 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463 are respectively formed by extending perpendicular to the first side plate 3461, so that the second magnetic attraction member 348 clamped is directly opposite to the first magnetic attraction member 328 in the front - to - rear direction.

[0119] The two first clamping plates 3462 are spaced apart, and the second clamping plate 3463 faces the space between the two first clamping plates 3462 in the front - to - rear direction, thereby providing three clamping surfaces in a triangular shape for the second magnetic attraction member 348.

[0120] In some alternative embodiments, the snap - connection portion 346 further includes: two second side plates 3464. The two second side plates 3464 are respectively formed by extending backward from the rear surface of the decorative plate 34 along one side of the first side plate 3461 and are connected to the side of one first clamping plate 3462.

[0121] Refer to Figure 9 As shown, the two second side plates 3464 and the first side plate 3461 and the two first clamping plates 3462 jointly enclose an opening on the side away from the first side plate 3461, enabling the second magnetic attraction member 348 to be installed or disassembled from here. The two second side plates 3464 connect the first clamping plate 3462 and the decorative plate 34 in the front - to - rear direction to improve the reliability of the snap - connection portion 346 and prevent obvious bending of the first side plate 3461 or the first clamping plate 3462.

[0122] In some alternative embodiments, the included 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°.

[0123] The second side plate 3464 and the first side plate 3461 of this embodiment can form a right - angled included angle or a slightly obtuse included angle, so that the enclosed opening gradually expands in the direction away from the first side plate 3461, facilitating the installation of the second magnetic member 348. The position where the second side plate 3464 is connected to the first side plate 3461 can form an arc - shaped transition section, so that the edge of the outer surface of the clamping portion 346 has a smooth transition with no obvious edges and corners.

[0124] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the second magnetic member 348 includes a body portion 3482 and two clamping ear portions 3484 extending reversely from opposite sides of the body portion 3482. The body portion 3482 abuts against the rear side of the second clamping plate 3463, and the two clamping ear portions 3484 respectively abut against the front side of a first clamping plate 3462, 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 such that the body portion 3482 protrudes from the plane where the rear surface of the first clamping plate 3462 is located, and thus extends backward from the space between the two first clamping plates 3462.

[0125] In some alternative embodiments, a through - hole 348A penetrating through in the front - rear direction is respectively formed on each clamping ear portion 3484; and a protruding portion 3465 protruding forward is formed on the front surface of the first clamping plate 3462 at a position corresponding to the through - hole 348A of the clamping ear portion 3484. The protruding portion 3465 is used to extend into the through - hole 348A of the clamping ear portion 3484 to fix the clamping ear portion 3484.

[0126] Figure 9 The position of the through - hole 348A is shown. When the second magnetic member 348 is installed in the clamping portion, the protruding portion 3465 protruding from the front surface of the first clamping plate 3462 is snapped into the through - hole 348A on the clamping ear portion 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 portion 3484, it causes the clamping ear portion 3484 to slide along the surface of the protruding portion 3465 without hindering the active installation or disassembly of the second magnetic member 348.

[0127] In some alternative embodiments, the end of the second clamping plate 3463 away from the first side plate 3461 bends backward to form a clamping claw 3466, and the clamping claw 3466 is used to prevent the second magnetic member 348 from moving in the direction 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 an inclined surface on the side close to the second clamping plate 3463.

[0128] ReferenceFigure 10 As shown, the clamping jaws 3466 of this embodiment are also used to fix the position of the second magnetic member 348 and prevent the second magnetic member 348 from detaching from the clamping portion. The clamping jaws 3466 also prevent the installation of the second magnetic member 348. 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. To install the second magnetic member 348 more labor - saving, in this embodiment, the end of the first clamping plate 3462 away from the first side plate 3461 can form an inclined surface on the side close to the second clamping plate 3463, so as to increase the gap size between the first clamping plate 3462 and the second clamping plate 3463 at the opening position.

[0129] In some alternative embodiments, the two side edges of the second clamping plate 3463 in the extending direction are respectively bent backward to form support walls 3467, so that the second magnetic member 348 is configured to be clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 and the support walls 3467.

[0130] The second clamping plate 3463 of this embodiment is bent at the two side edges to form support walls 3467 as shown in Figure 9 The support walls 3467 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 walls 3467, that is, clamped between the first clamping plate 3462 and the support walls 3467 of the clamping portion.

[0131] To further improve the strength of the second clamping plate 3463 and prevent the second clamping plate 3463 from aging and deforming after long - term use, in some alternative embodiments, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 3468 protruding backward are formed at intervals on the rear surface of the second clamping plate 3463. One end of each first reinforcing rib 3468 is located on the surface of the first side plate 3461 and extends along the extending direction of the second clamping plate 3463; and / or a plurality of second reinforcing ribs protruding forward are formed at intervals on the front surface of the second clamping plate 3463. One end of each second reinforcing rib is located on the surface of the first side plate 3461 and extends along the extending direction of the second clamping plate 3463.

[0132] Figure 9 Figure shows a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 3468 located at the rear side of the second clamping plate 3463. It can be understood that a plurality of second reinforcing ribs can also be formed between the second clamping plate 3463 and the decorative plate 346 (not shown). Figure 9 a plurality of second reinforcing ribs can also be formed between the second clamping plate 3463 and the decorative plate 34 (not shown).
