[0047] When the existing vertical air conditioner indoor unit is installed on a wall or in a cabinet, there is no corresponding installation device designed, making the installation of the indoor unit cumbersome and it is not easy to position the indoor unit.

[0048] The present utility model provides an adjusting device 100 for a vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200. The vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 is the indoor part of a split vertical air conditioner or the indoor terminal model of a central air conditioner, and is used to adjust indoor air. Specifically, it includes adjusting the temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying, dehumidifying the indoor air, introducing fresh air, etc. By using the adjusting device 100, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 can be easily and conveniently moved and installed, improving the installation efficiency, and it is also convenient to position the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0049] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the adjusting device 100 when the support assembly 20 is in a contracted state according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the adjusting device 100 when the support assembly 20 is in an extended state according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 Is Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the shown ball component 10.

[0050] AsFigures 1 - 3 As shown in Figures 1 - 3 , the adjusting device 100 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 generally may include at least one ball component 10 and at least one support component 20.

[0051] The ball component 10 is installed at the bottom of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200, and each ball component 10 has at least one ball 11 capable of driving the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move. Refer to Figure 3 , the ball component 10 may include a ball seat 12 for installing the ball 11. The use of the ball 11 can reduce the resistance and friction when the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 moves and turns, greatly reducing the installation difficulty, and thus improving the installation efficiency of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200. In some embodiments, one ball 11 may be correspondingly installed on each ball seat 12, or multiple balls 11 may be correspondingly installed on each ball seat 12.

[0052] When multiple balls 11 are correspondingly installed on each ball seat 12, the ball seat 12 has a better bearing effect on the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200, which is beneficial to the ball component 10 to stably carry and move the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0053] The support component 20 is vertically telescopically installed at the bottom of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200. Here, the extending direction of the support component 20 and the extending direction of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 are both vertical, and the telescopic direction of the support component 20 is also vertical.

[0054] Each support component 20 has an extended state lower than the lowest point of the ball 11 and abuts against the support surface of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 to fix the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200. Here, the support surface can be understood as the plane that supports the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 during the installation process. When the support component 20 is in the extended state, the ball 11 cannot drive the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move, and the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 can be stably placed at the required position.

[0055] Each support component 20 also has a contracted state higher than the lowest point of the ball 11 to allow the ball 11 to roll, thereby driving the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move. When the support component 20 is in the contracted state, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 is carried by the ball component 10, and the ball 11 can drive the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move when it moves.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present utility model, by providing a ball component 10 and a support component 20 at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner, after moving the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to the required position through the ball component 10, the support component 20 is switched from a contracted state to an extended state, so that the support component 20 abuts against the support surface and supports the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. This not only enables the easy movement of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner but also allows the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to be stably placed on the support surface.

[0057] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the support component 20 and the support surface are both rough surfaces. When the bottom surface of the support component 20 abuts against the support surface and the support component 20 is flush with the lowest point of the ball 11, the ball component 10 and the support component 20 jointly support the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. At this time, since frictional force can be generated between the support component 20 and the support surface, the ball 11 cannot drive the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to move, and the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner can also be stably placed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the ball 11 can be a universal ball. The universal ball can carry the horizontal movement of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner in various directions, enabling the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to flexibly slide and turn, and accurately controlling the installation position of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner.

[0059] In some embodiments, the material of the ball 11 can be set according to actual needs. For example, it can be metal. The metal ball 11 has strong wear resistance and durability and can withstand long-term use without being easily damaged. The material of the ball 11 can also be ceramic. The ceramic ball 11 has advantages such as high strength and high hardness.

[0060] Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the support component 20 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the support component 20 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the support column 22 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the housing 21 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 - 7 shown, each support component 20 includes a housing 21, a support column 22, and a drive component 23. The housing 21 is connected to the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. The support column 22 is arranged vertically and is movably connected to the housing 21. The drive component 23 is respectively connected to the housing 21 and the support column 22 and is used to controllably drive the support column 22 to move vertically so that the support column 22 can be switched between an extended state and a contracted state.

[0062] That is, one side of the housing 21 is connected to the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, so that the housing 21 is fixed to the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. The opposite side of the housing 21 is connected to the support column 22 through the driving assembly 23. Driven by the driving assembly 23, the support column 22 moves vertically relative to the housing 21 and the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. In this way, the support column 22 can be lower than the lowest point of the ball 11 or higher than the lowest point of the ball 11, so that the support assembly 20 can be switched between the extended state and the retracted state.

[0063] In some embodiments, the internal components of the housing 21 may only include the driving assembly 23, and the support column 22 is connected to the bottom of the driving assembly 23 and is completely located outside the housing 21.

[0064] In some embodiments, the interior of the housing 21 is hollow, and a part of the support column 22 is inserted into the housing 21. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the housing 21 and the support column 22 can both be cuboids. The interior of the housing 21 is hollow and has an opening at the bottom. A part of the support column 22 is inserted into the housing 21 and can extend out from the opening at the bottom of the housing 21. In this way, the housing 21 can play a role in guiding and protecting the support column 22.

[0065] In other embodiments, the housing 21 and the support column 22 can also be of other shapes according to actual needs, such as cylinders. The housing 21 can improve the stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the support column 22, which is beneficial for the support column 22 to bear the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0066] The housing 21 has a top and a side. The top of the housing 21 is connected to the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. The housing 21 serves as the basic framework of the entire support assembly 20, not only providing protection for the internal components, but also ensuring the overall structural strength and stability of the components.

[0067] The hollow design inside the housing 21 also makes the appearance of the support assembly 20 more concise and smooth, with a good visual effect. The hidden design of the driving assembly 23 and the support column 22 also reduces the impact on the aesthetic appearance of the adjusting device 100.

[0068] The housing 21 can be made of a strong and durable material, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to resist the influence of external environmental factors (such as corrosion, vibration, etc.) and ensure the normal operation of the internal components.

[0069] The support column 22 is a key component in the support assembly 20 that directly bears the support function. The support column 22 is designed to be telescopic and can adjust its length according to requirements, thereby changing the support height or position. The support column 22 is connected to the housing 21 through the first elastic member 231, which is firm and reliable, enabling the support column 22 to withstand the expected load and maintain stability during long-term use.

[0070] The drive assembly 23 is the key to realizing the dynamic adjustment of the support column 22. The drive assembly 23 is respectively connected to the housing 21 and the support column 22 to achieve the control of the movement of the support column 22.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and 6 , the support column 22 includes a column body 221 and a column foot 222. The column body 221 is arranged vertically and at least partially penetrates into the housing 21. The column foot 222 is connected to the bottom of the column body 221. The column foot 222 is configured to be separated from the housing 21 when the support column 22 is in the extended state and to abut against the housing 21 when the support column 22 is in the contracted state. When the support column is in the extended state, part of the column body penetrates into the housing.

[0072] In some embodiments, the size of the column body 221 is smaller than the size of the housing 21, and the column foot 222 is larger than the size of the housing 21, so that when the support column 22 contracts, the limit position of the support column 22 is that the column foot 222 abuts against the bottom of the housing 21, and the support column 22 cannot continue to contract into the housing 21 to limit the support column 22.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 - 7 , the drive assembly 23 includes a first elastic member 231. The first elastic member 231 is arranged vertically, with one end connected to the housing 21 and the other end connected to the top of the column body 221. The first elastic member 231 is configured to be controlled to extend or shorten to drive the support column 22 to switch between the extended state and the contracted state.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 231 can be a spring that generates elastic force when pressed, or an elastic metal sheet, or any other structure that can generate elasticity.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , protrusions that cooperate with the first elastic member 231 are provided at the top of the inner side of the housing 21 and the top of the column body 221 of the support column 22 to facilitate the installation of the first elastic member 231. In other embodiments, other fixing methods can be adopted for the first elastic member 231. For example, gluing.

[0076] In some embodiments, at least one first opening 223 arranged vertically is provided on the side wall of the column 221, and at least one second opening 213 arranged vertically is provided on the side wall of the housing 21. The driving assembly 23 further includes an operating member 232 provided on the housing. One end of the operating member 232 has a limiting portion that can pass through the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 to limit the support column.

[0077] In some embodiments, the support column 22 is of a hollow design. A first opening 223 is provided on the side opposite to the operating member 232. The first opening 223 on the support column 22 is opposite to the second opening 213 on the housing 21 in position.

[0078] The operating member 232 is provided on the housing 21 and can cooperate with the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 to control the restriction on the support column 22. In a normal state, the protruding limiting portion on the operating member 232 penetrates into the first opening 223 through the second opening 213. At this time, the operating member 232 is clamped with the support column 22, that is, the operating member 232 restricts the movement of the support column 22, so that the extended length of the support column 22 is fixed.

[0079] The limiting portion of the operating member 232 can also leave the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 under control. At this time, the operating member 232 is not clamped with the support column 22, that is, the operating member 232 has no restrictive effect on the movement of the support column 22, and the support column 22 can move relative to the housing 21 under the action of the first elastic member 231.

[0080] When the support assembly 20 is in a contracted state, the first elastic member 231 is in a compressed state. The limiting portion of the operating member 232 passes through the first opening 223 through the second opening 213, and the operating member 232 restricts the movement of the support column 22, so that the support column 22 contracts inside the housing 21. When the control operating member 232 releases the restrictive effect on the support column 22, the first elastic member 231 in the compressed state has a driving elastic force towards the outside of the housing 21 on the support column 22, so that the support column 22 gradually extends.

[0081] When the support assembly 20 extends, the limiting portion of the operating member 232 is made to leave the first opening 223 and the second opening 213, releasing the restriction on the support column 22. The support column 22 extends out of the housing 21, and extends until the bottom of the support column 22 is lower than the lowest point of the ball assembly 10, so that the support assembly 20 supports the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner.

[0082] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 4 - 6, the number of the first openings 223 is five, and the number of the second openings 213 is one. In other embodiments, the numbers of the first openings 223 and the second openings 213 can be set according to actual needs. It can be understood that when the limiting part passes through the first openings 223 at different positions through the second openings 213, the extending lengths of the support columns 22 are different. In this way, the extending length of the support column 22 can be controlled by controlling the cooperation between the limiting part and the first openings 223 at different positions.

[0083] In some embodiments, the support column 22 can be made of a solid structure, and a plurality of grooves opposite to the positions of the second openings 213 on the housing 21 are formed on its surface, so that the limiting part of the operating member 232 can cooperate with the grooves to limit the movement of the support column 22.

[0084] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the operating member 232 is rotatably connected to the housing 21, and the driving assembly 23 further includes a second elastic member 233. The second elastic member 233 is configured to make the limiting part disengage from the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 when being compressed by an external force to release the support column 22, and the second elastic member 233 is further configured to make the limiting part pass through the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 after resetting to limit the support column 22. The operating member 232 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 211 on the housing 21 and returns to the initial position under the drive of the second elastic member 233. Specifically, a fixed seat 212 for installing the fixed shaft 211 is provided on the housing 21. The middle part of the operating member 232 is connected to the fixed shaft 211. One end of the limiting part on the operating member 232 cooperates with the first opening 223 and the second opening 213, and the other end is connected to the second elastic member 233.

[0085] When pressing one end of the operating member 232 connected to the second elastic member 233, the operating member 232 rotates around the fixed shaft 211, and the limiting part moves towards the outside of the housing 21 to release the restriction on the support column 22. The support column 22 can move downward under the drive of the first elastic member 231. The support column 22 extends and supports the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner, thereby lifting the ball assembly 10, so that the ball assembly 10 is away from the support surface of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. In this way, the ball assembly 10 cannot drive the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to move, so that the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner is stably placed at the required position.

[0086] The second elastic member 233 is connected between the housing 21 and the operating member 232, enabling the operating member 232 to automatically return to its initial position. Here, the initial position state refers to the general state of the operating member 232 when no operation is performed on it, that is, the state where the limiting portion passes through the first opening 223 and the second opening 213 to limit the support column 22. After the pressing force on the operating member 232 is withdrawn, the second elastic member 233 has a restoring elastic force on the operating member 232, causing the operating member 232 to return to its initial position.

[0087] In some embodiments, the second elastic member 233 is a spring that is compressed under force and can return to its original state after the force is withdrawn, or any other structure with elastic restoring ability.

[0088] The operating member 232 is rotatably connected to the housing 21 through the fixed shaft 211, which not only ensures that the operating member 232 can rotate flexibly around the fixed shaft 211, but also guarantees the stability and reliability of the operating member 232 during rotation. The presence of the fixed shaft 211 can also play a guiding role, making the movement trajectory of the operating member 232 clearer and more controllable.

[0089] Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the support assembly 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 is a schematic assembly diagram of the ball bearing assembly 10 and the support assembly 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown ( Figure 9 the square box in the figure represents the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner), the support assembly 20 includes a stud 31 and a knob 32. The stud 31 is arranged vertically and is installed at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. The knob 32 is fixed to the end of the stud 31, and the knob 32 is configured to rotate controllably to drive the stud 31 to rotate relative to the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner, so that the support assembly 20 extends or contracts vertically.

[0091] Specifically, the stud 31 is helically screwed into the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner to be stably installed at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner. The knob 32 is provided on the end of the stud 31 away from the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner.

[0092] In some embodiments, the surface of the knob 32 in contact with the support surface is a rough surface to increase the friction between the support assembly 20 and the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner, so that the indoor unit 200 of the vertical air conditioner can be stably placed on the support surface.

[0093] A threaded hole is provided on the bottom surface of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 , and the stud 31 matches the threaded hole, so that the support assembly 20 and the air conditioner indoor unit are closely matched, so that the support assembly 20 is stably installed at the bottom of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200 .

[0094] The stud 31 is detachably connected to the threaded hole. When the support assembly 20 needs to be switched between an extended state and a contracted state, the stud 31 can be conveniently rotated to extend or shorten the stud 31 .

[0095] The stud 31 cooperates with the knob 32 , and the knob 32 can be rotated manually or by other driving methods, such as a motor driving the stud 31 and the knob 32 to rotate, so as to adjust the state of the support assembly 20 by adjusting the extension length of the stud 31 .

[0096] In other embodiments, the support assembly 20 may be composed of multiple shaft sections, a telescopic shaft that can be extended or shortened by rotation or sliding, and the adjusting member may be a hydraulic or pneumatic telescopic mechanism.

[0097] In some embodiments, the knob 32 is polygonal in shape. That is, the overall shape of the knob 32 is polygonal.

[0098] The design of the polygonal knob 32 increases the contact area between the operator's hand and the support assembly 20, provides more points of force, makes manual operation of the support assembly 20 more stable, reduces the possibility of slipping, and facilitates manual rotation.

[0099] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 , the knob 32 is hexagonal. In other embodiments, the shape of the knob 32 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0100] Compared with a circular or other shape, the hexagonal knob 32 can better fit the shape of the finger when rotating, providing a larger gripping area, thereby enhancing the gripping force of the hand, reducing slipping, and facilitating precise adjustment of the extension or shortening length of the stud 31.

[0101] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a driving member (not shown in the drawings), the driving member is connected to the stud 31, and the driving member is configured to control the driving stud 31 to rotate relative to the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 200, thereby extending or shortening the support assembly 20 in the vertical direction. Compared with manually rotating the knob 31, the mechanical driving method of the driving member is convenient and labor-saving.

[0102] In one embodiment, the driving member can be a motor, and the motor is connected to the stud 31. The motor direct drive method is direct and efficient, and has a fast response speed. In other embodiments, the driving member can also be other devices with driving functions, such as a cylinder.

[0103] In some embodiments, a rubber anti-slip pad may be provided at the bottom of the support assembly 20 to increase the friction between the support assembly 20 and the support surface, which is beneficial to the stable placement of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner on the support surface.

[0104] In some embodiments, the adjusting device 100 may include a ball assembly 10 and a support assembly 20. The ball assembly 10 and the support assembly 20 may separately support the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner.

[0105] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the number of the ball assemblies 10 and the support assemblies 20 may both be multiple. The multiple ball assemblies 10 and the multiple support assemblies 20 are respectively arranged at intervals at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. As Figure 9 shown, the adjusting device 100 includes four ball assemblies 10 and two support assemblies 20. The four ball assemblies 10 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential side of the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, and the two support assemblies 20 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. In other embodiments, the number of the ball assemblies 10 and the support assemblies 20 can be set according to actual needs.

[0106] The floor-standing air conditioner can adjust the temperature more quickly than the wall-mounted air conditioner and is usually applicable to the living room of a family. When installing a mobile floor-standing air conditioner, it requires multiple people to move the air conditioner, which is quite laborious. And when the support surface at the placement location is uneven, the floor-standing air conditioner is not stably placed and is prone to tipping over, posing a potential safety hazard to people.

[0107] In this embodiment, by designing multiple scattered ball assemblies 10, the convenient movement of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner can be realized, and the load-bearing capacity of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner can also be improved. By designing multiple scattered support assemblies 20, the multiple support assemblies 20 can independently adjust the extended length, and the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner can also be stably placed when the support surface is uneven.

[0108] Moreover, since the ball assembly 10 and the support assembly 20 are independently arranged separately, when the support assembly 20 is lower than the lowest point of the ball assembly 10, the support assembly 20 supports the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, while the ball assembly 10 does not play a supporting role. At this time, the ball assembly 10 can be disassembled from the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner and used for installing other furniture, improving the practicality of the ball assembly 10.

[0109] In addition, compared with a general mobile bracket, due to the different sizes of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, when the size changes, the general mobile bracket cannot achieve the supporting effect. In the adjusting device 100 of this embodiment, the ball component 10 and the supporting component 20 are respectively and independently installed at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner. When the size of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner changes, only the installation positions of the supporting component 20 and the ball component 10 at the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner need to be determined, so as to meet the moving and installation requirements of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner with different sizes.

[0110] The embodiment of the present utility model also provides an indoor unit system 1000 of an air conditioner. Refer to Figure 1 , the indoor unit system 1000 of the air conditioner includes the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner and the above-mentioned adjusting device 100. For the adjusting device 100, details are not described herein one by one.

[0111] At the bottom of the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner in the embodiment of the present utility model, a ball component 10 and a supporting component 20 are provided. After moving the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner to the required position through the ball component 10, the supporting component 20 is switched from the contracted state to the extended state, so that the supporting component 20 abuts against the supporting surface and supports the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, which can not only easily move the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner, but also enable the indoor unit 200 of the floor-standing air conditioner to be stably placed on the supporting surface.

[0112] So far, those skilled in the art should recognize that although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described in detail herein, still, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present utility model can be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present utility model. Therefore, the scope of the present utility model should be understood and determined to cover all these other variations or modifications.
