[0018] Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the button touch plate of the button structure of the air conditioner electrical box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0019] Figure 3 is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the floor-standing air conditioner body.

[0020] The specific reference numerals in the drawings are as follows:

[0021] 1. Floor-standing air conditioner body; 11. Electric box groove; 12. Slide groove opening; 13. Storage groove opening; 14. Device groove opening; 15. Card slot; 2. Button touch panel; 21. Circuit board; 22. Button switch; 23. Flexible surface layer; 24. First spring; 3. Cleaning roller; 31. Roller shaft; 32. Roller sleeve; 4. Cover plate; 41. Convex plate; 5. Second spring; 6. Elastic clamping member. Detailed implementation mode

[0022] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as "under", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "over", "upper", and "side (e.g., as in "side wall")" to describe the relationship between one component and another (other) component as shown in the drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacturing. For example, if the device in the drawing is flipped, a component described as "under" or "beneath" another component or feature will then be positioned "above" the other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. In addition, the device can be positioned otherwise (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and accordingly, the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

[0023] As Figures 1 - 3 As shown, a button structure for an air conditioner electric box in the present disclosure includes a floor-standing air conditioner body 1 and a button touch panel 2. An electric box groove 11 is formed on the surface of the floor-standing air conditioner body 1. A device groove opening 14 for accommodating the button touch panel 2 is formed in the electric box groove 11. Slide groove openings 12 are vertically formed on both sides of the electric box groove 11. A cleaning roller 3 is slidably installed between the two slide groove openings 12. A storage groove opening 13 is formed at the top inside the electric box groove 11. A cover plate 4 is movably inserted into the storage groove opening 13. The cover plate 4 is used to close the electric box groove 11. By pulling down the cover plate 4, the cover plate 4 can drive the cleaning roller 3 to move downward, and the cleaning roller 3 can clean the surface of the button touch panel 2 during the downward movement.

[0024] In this embodiment, the button touch panel 2 includes a circuit board 21 and a plurality of button switches 22. The plurality of button switches 22 are fixedly installed outside the circuit board 21. A flexible surface layer 23 covering the button switches 22 is provided outside the circuit board 21. This structure is prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0025] To ensure stable contact between the outside of the button touch panel 2 and the cleaning roller 3, in this embodiment, first springs 24 are fixedly installed at the four corner ends inside the circuit board 21, and the first springs 24 are fixedly installed in the device groove opening 14.

[0026] In this embodiment, the cleaning roller 3 includes a roller shaft 31 and a roller sleeve 32. The two ends of the roller shaft 31 are respectively inserted into the chute openings 12 at corresponding positions. The roller sleeve 32 is sleeved on the surface of the roller shaft 31. The roller sleeve 32 is made of cloth and can clean the outer surface of the key touch plate 2, so as to wipe off dust or stains.

[0027] Furthermore, to ensure that the cleaning roller 3 can automatically rise when the cover plate 4 is lifted, in this embodiment, a second spring 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the chute opening 12, and the upper end of the second spring 5 is in elastic contact with the roller shaft 31.

[0028] Furthermore, to ensure that the device slot opening 14 can be stably closed when the cover plate 4 is pulled down, in this embodiment, a convex plate 41 of an integral structure is provided at the lower end of the cover plate 4. A card slot 15 for inserting the convex plate 41 is opened at the bottom inside the electrical box groove 11. An elastic clamping member 6 is installed inside the card slot 15. The elastic clamping member 6 can be a metal elastic sheet structure. By elastically abutting against the convex plate 41, it can stably position the convex plate 41 in the card slot 15.

[0029] The specific operation steps are as follows: By pulling down the cover plate 4, the cover plate 4 can drive the cleaning roller 3 to move downward. During the downward movement of the cleaning roller 3, it can clean the surface of the key touch plate 2. When the convex plate 41 of the cover plate 4 is inserted into the card slot 15, through the elastic abutment between the elastic clamping member 6 and the convex plate 41, at this time, the cover plate 4 can close the electrical box groove 11 to prevent dust from entering and being accidentally touched by others;

[0030] When it is necessary to turn on and control the vertical air conditioner body 1, just lift the cover plate 4 upward. The cleaning roller 3 can also rise under the elastic force of the second spring 5, and the key touch plate 2 can be cleaned again during the rising process.

[0031] In the description of this specification, the descriptions referring to terms such as "one embodiment / way", "some embodiments / ways", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. mean that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment / way or example are included in at least one embodiment / way or example of the present application.
