Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to a cabin section, an indoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An air conditioner often includes various control structures. When wiring, one end of a wire needs to be connected to a control structure, and the other end needs to pass through an opening provided on the outer shell of the air conditioner. Specifically, taking the air conditioner as an air handling unit as an example, the electric heating module in the indoor unit of the air handling unit is often an optional part, and an installation position is reserved for this purpose. When a user selects and installs the electric heating module, the heating module and the air switch connected thereto need to be assembled during after-sales installation, and one end of the power cable is connected to the air switch, and the other end passes through the opening of the outer shell of the air conditioner.

[0003] During actual wiring of the air conditioner, the wiring hole and the opening of the outer shell are prone to be misaligned with each other, resulting in inconvenient wiring. In addition, the opening of the outer shell of the air conditioner is often not considered for the electric heating module as an optional part during design, or this opening can also be used for wiring of other modules at the same time, making it easy to have the above-mentioned problem of misalignment of the openings. When the air switch is connected to the electric heating module, due to the high power of the electric heating module, the diameter of the power cable is relatively thick, and it is inconvenient to bend the cable in a narrow space, which further exacerbates the problem of inconvenient wiring.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cabin section further includes a mounting plate. One end of the mounting plate is detachably connected to the housing, and the other end is detachably connected to the control switch.

[0019] In some embodiments, the mounting plate includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is connected to the control switch.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0052] When the air conditioner is installed after-sales, the heating module and the air switch connected thereto need to be assembled, and one end of the power cable is connected to the air switch and the other end passes through the opening in the outer shell of the air conditioner. The inventor found that in the related art, since the air switch is installed close to the panel, the wiring holes of the air switch are close to the panel, and due to the influence of the structural strength in the design of the opening of the outer shell of the air conditioner, it is often not possible to set it at a position close to the edge. This leads to the fact that during actual wiring, the wiring holes and the opening in the outer shell are prone to misalignment with each other, resulting in inconvenient wiring. In addition, the opening in the outer shell of the air conditioner is often not considered in the design for the optional electric heating module, or this opening can also be used for wiring other modules at the same time, so that the position of this opening is not coordinated with the wiring holes of the air switch during design, and it is also easy to have the above-mentioned problem of misalignment of the openings. When the air switch is connected to the electric heating module, due to the high power of the electric heating module, the diameter of the power cable is relatively thick, and it is inconvenient to bend the cable in a narrow space, which further exacerbates the problem of inconvenient wiring.

[0053] More specifically, due to reasons such as the structural strength of the outer shell of the air conditioner, the position of the opening in the outer shell is relatively deviated from the end of the outer shell of the air conditioner. That is, along the radial direction of the opening in the outer shell, the maximum value of the distance from the wiring hole to the end of the outer shell of the air conditioner is less than the maximum value of the distance from the opening in the outer shell to the end of the outer shell of the air conditioner. At this time, the misalignment phenomenon between the opening in the outer shell and the wiring hole occurs, resulting in inconvenient wiring.

[0054] In view of this, see Figures 1-8 In the embodiments of the present utility model, a cabin section 100 is provided. The cabin section 100 includes a housing 110 and a control switch 120. Among them, the cabin section 100 can specifically be of different types. For example, the cabin section 100 can specifically be applied to any one of an air handling unit, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, and a central air conditioner.

[0055] Specifically, see Figures 1-2, the housing 110 defines a receiving cavity 200. It can be understood that the receiving cavity 200 is the inner cavity of the housing 110 itself. According to the different shapes of the housing 110, the receiving cavity 200 can have corresponding different shapes. The housing 110 includes a first shell wall 111 and a second shell wall 112 arranged adjacent to each other. The first shell wall 111 is provided with a first hole 1111, and the second shell wall 112 is provided with a second hole 1121. It can be understood that both the first shell wall 111 and the second shell wall 112 are side wall structures that make up the housing 110, and both the first hole 1111 and the second hole 1121 can have any suitable cross-sectional shape. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which both the first hole 1111 and the second hole 1121 are circular cross-sectional holes will be used as an example for description.

[0056] See Figures 1-2 , the control switch 120 is disposed in the receiving cavity 200. Herein, the control switch 120 being disposed in the receiving cavity 200 is defined as: the main body portion of the control switch 120 is located in the receiving cavity 200. The control switch 120 has a first side wall 121 facing the first shell wall 111, and the first side wall 121 is provided with an operating member 122 adapted to turn on and off the control switch 120. Among them, the first side wall 121 is the end wall surface of the control switch 120 facing the first shell wall 111. The control switch 120 can adopt any suitable on-off control manner. The operating member 122 is the part of the control switch 120 for the user to operate and control the on-off. Specifically, in some embodiments, the control switch 120 can specifically be an air switch, and the operating member 122 can specifically be a lever for operating the air switch. Hereinafter, the configuration of the control switch 120 in the above embodiment will be used as an example for description.

[0057] Based on the setting of the first hole 1111, see Figures 2-3, the operating member 122 is exposed to the first hole 1111, and the first side wall 121 is spaced from the first housing wall 111. The following defines the exposure of the operating member 122 to the first hole 1111: at least a part of the orthographic projection of the operating member 122 on the projection plane perpendicular to the axis of the first hole 1111 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the orifice edge of the first hole 1111 on the projection plane. And the above limitation is only used to represent the relative positional relationship between the operating member 122 and the first hole 1111. Therefore, when other components block the first hole 1111, the operating member 122 can also be exposed to the first hole 1111. The above arrangement enables the control switch 120 to be installed away from the first housing wall 111 while the user can control the operating member 122 through the first hole 1111. Based on the arrangement of the second hole 1121, the control switch 120 is configured to be suitable for connecting one end of the wire 300, and the second hole 1121 is configured to be suitable for the other end of the wire 300 to pass through. In other words, the control switch 120 is configured to be suitable for connecting one end of the wire 300 and to make the other end of the wire 300 suitable for passing out of the accommodating cavity 200 through the second hole 1121. The above limitation means that one end of the wire 300 is suitable for connecting to the control switch 120 and the other end is suitable for passing out of the accommodating cavity 200 through the second hole 1121. After the control switch 120 is arranged to sink relative to the first hole 1111, the above arrangement enables the control switch 120 to be closer to the second hole 1121, and when observing along the axis direction of the second hole 1121, there is a small positional deviation between the wiring hole 123 of the control switch 120 and the second hole 1121, thereby reducing the bending degree of the wire 300 during wiring and making it more convenient for the wiring operation of the wire 300 between the control switch 120 and the second hole 1121. According to requirements, the wire 300 can be any wire body structure suitable for connection, and can be a single-strand wire body, or can be formed by combining multiple wire bodies into one wire 300 (for example, the wire 300 can be a cable).

[0058] According to the combination of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the cabin section 100 of the present utility model includes a housing 110 and a control switch 120. The housing 110 defines a receiving cavity 200. The housing 110 includes a first shell wall 111 and a second shell wall 112 arranged adjacent to each other. The first shell wall 111 is provided with a first hole 1111, and the second shell wall 112 is provided with a second hole 1121. The control switch 120 is disposed in the receiving cavity 200. The control switch 120 has a first side wall 121 facing the first shell wall 111, and the first side wall 121 is provided with an operating member 122 adapted to turn on and off the control switch 120. The operating member 122 is exposed through the first hole 1111. The first side wall 121 is spaced from the first shell wall 111. One end of the wire 300 is adapted to be connected to the control switch 120, and the other end is adapted to pass out of the receiving cavity 200 through the second hole 1121. Compared with the design in the related art where the air switch is tightly mounted on the panel, in the solution of the present utility model, by setting the control switch 120 to sink relative to the first hole 1111, the control switch 120 can be closer to the second hole 1121, and when observed along the axis direction of the second hole 1121, there is a small positional deviation between the wiring hole 123 of the control switch 120 and the second hole 1121. Therefore, the cabin section 100 of the present utility model facilitates the wiring operation of the control switch 120.

[0059] For the setting where the first side wall 121 is spaced from the first shell wall 111, more specifically, in some embodiments, along the axis direction of the first hole 1111, the distance between the first side wall 121 and the first shell wall 111 is greater than or equal to 5 mm. By ensuring that the distance between the first side wall 121 and the first shell wall 111 is sufficient, it is beneficial for the control switch 120 to be closer to the second hole 1121, making the wiring operation more convenient. In addition, in some other embodiments, the distance between the first side wall 1121 and the first shell wall 111 can also be set to any appropriate value according to requirements.

[0060] For the specific wiring setting of the control switch 120, refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the control switch 120 has a wiring hole 123 for the wire 300 to pass through. The wiring hole 123 is adapted to connect the wire 300. The center of the wiring hole 123 is located on the side of the control switch 120 closer to the second shell wall 112 along the axis direction of the second hole 1121, and the wiring hole 123 faces the second hole 1121. It can be understood that when wiring, one end of the wire 300 can pass through the wiring hole 123, and the other end can pass through the second hole 1121. Moreover, the wiring hole 123 is disposed on the side of the control switch 120 closer to the second shell wall 112 to reduce the length of the wire 300 and make the wiring more convenient. In addition, the direction in which the wire 300 passes through the wiring hole 123 can be the same as the direction in which the wire 300 passes through the second hole 1121, that is, both are along the axis direction of the second hole 1121.

[0061] Based on the wiring hole 123 defined above, refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the projection of the orifice edge of the wiring hole 123 on the projection plane perpendicular to the axis direction of the second hole 1121 is the first projection S1, the projection of the orifice edge of the second hole 1121 on the projection plane is the second projection S2, the maximum dimension of the second projection S2 along the radial direction of the second hole 1121 is d1, and the shortest distance between the geometric center of the first projection S1 and the geometric center of the second projection S2 along the radial direction of the second hole 1121 is d2, and it satisfies: d1 > d2. It can be understood that the above limitation is to make the deviation between the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 not greater than the aperture of the second hole 1121, so as to make the alignment degree between the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 higher and more convenient for wiring operation.

[0062] For the arrangement of the control switch 120, refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 , in some embodiments, along the axis direction of the second hole 1121, the control switch 120 is located on the side of the first housing wall 111 close to the second housing wall 112. It can be understood that the control switch 120 can be located at a position relatively close to the second housing wall 112 along the axis direction of the second hole 1121. This setting makes the space between the control switch 120 and the second housing wall 112 more compact, which is beneficial to provide installation and arrangement space for other components of the cabin section 100, and is more convenient for the compact design of the cabin section 100. Also, based on the above embodiments where the alignment degree between the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 can be higher, when the control switch 120 is relatively close to the second housing wall 112 along the axis direction of the second hole 1121, it will not cause a large bend in the wire 300 and ensure the convenience of wiring.

[0063] According to requirements, the operating member 122 can be arranged at different positions, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the operating member 122 is received in the receiving cavity 200; or, a part of the operating member 122 is received in the receiving cavity 200 and the other part extends out of the receiving cavity 200 through the first hole 1111. In addition, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7, in some embodiments, the control switch 120 further includes a control body 124, which means that the control switch 120 is composed of the control body 124 and the operating member 122. The operating member 122 is movably connected to the control body 124, and the movement of the operating member 122 can be reflected as a control signal, and the control body 124 responds to the control signal to perform the function of controlling opening and closing. Among them, the control body 124 is the main body part of the control switch 120. Specifically, when the control switch 120 is an air switch, the control body 124 can be the part of the air switch other than the lever. Based on this, see Figure 4 , in some embodiments, both the control body 124 and the operating member 122 are accommodated in the accommodation cavity 200. The above setting can facilitate making the control switch 120 farther away from the first housing wall 111 while the size of the operating member 122 is not too long, and thus the alignment degree between the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 can be higher. At this time, the user can insert a hand or other components into the first hole 1111 to operate the operating member 122. See Figure 6 , in other embodiments, the control body 124 is accommodated in the accommodation cavity 200, and the operating member 122 extends out of the accommodation cavity 200 from the first hole 1111. The above setting can facilitate the user to directly operate the operating member 122 outside the accommodation cavity 200.

[0064] According to requirements, see Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the number of the control switches 120 can be multiple. Thus, the number of the wires 300 is multiple, and each wire 300 can be correspondingly passed through the wiring hole 123 of each control switch 120 and each second hole 1121 (at this time, the number of the second holes 1121 can be the same as that of the wiring holes 123); in addition, each wire 300 can also be correspondingly passed through the wiring hole 123 of each control switch 120, and multiple wires 300 can be simultaneously passed through one second hole 1121.

[0065] The cabin section 100 further includes a heating element 130. The control switch 120 is connected to the heating element 130 and is adapted to control the heating element 130. The heating element 130 can specifically be a heating module that can be optionally configured for the cabin section 100. In different embodiments, the heating element 130 can be electrically connected to the control switch 120 or fixedly connected to the control switch 120 as a whole. With the above settings, the heating element 130 can adopt a relatively large rated power, such as any one of 15KW, 20KW, and 25KW. To match the above power, the wire 300 needs to have a relatively large diameter size. Combining with the various settings in the above embodiments that can make the alignment degree between the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 higher, when the diameter size of the wire 300 is relatively large, the bending of the wire 300 can be reduced, ensuring the convenience of wiring.

[0066] Based on the arrangement that the control body 124 and the operating member 122 in the above embodiments are both accommodated in the accommodation cavity 200, for more convenient operation of the operating member 122. Refer to Figures 3-4 , in some embodiments, the cabin section 100 further includes a connecting member 140. The connecting member 140 connects the first shell wall 111 and the control switch 120. The connecting member 140 includes a second side wall 141 extending around the operating member 122. The second side wall 141 defines an operating opening 143 facing the operating member 122. It can be understood that since the second side wall 141 surrounds the operating member 122 and the second side wall 141 defines the operating opening 143, the user can perform operations in an inserted manner and can operate the operating member 122 within the space surrounded by the second side wall 141, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, in different embodiments, the second side wall 141 can surround the operating member 122 in any suitable trajectory. For example, the second side wall 141 can be in the shape of a rectangular ring or a circular ring.

[0067] Based on the above definition of the connecting member 140, further, refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the connecting member 140 further includes a bottom wall 142 connecting the second side wall 141. Along the axial direction of the operating opening 143, one side of the bottom wall 142 faces the operating member 122 and the other side faces the operating opening 143. The bottom wall 142 and the second side wall 141 are configured to be deformable under an external force to act on the operating member 122. It can be understood that the bottom wall 142 and the second side wall 141 can jointly isolate the operating member 122 within the accommodation cavity 200, thereby making the use of the cabin section 100 safer and improving the user experience, and can meet the airtightness requirements of the control switch 120 and other components provided in the accommodation cavity 200. In addition, in some embodiments, the bottom wall 142 can contact the operating member 122. The bottom wall 142 defines a groove 144. Along the axial direction of the operating opening 143, the groove 144 is recessed in a direction away from the operating member 122. The above arrangement that the bottom wall 142 contacts the operating member 122 and defines the groove 144 makes it more convenient for the user to operate the operating member 122.

[0068] In addition, in some embodiments, the connecting member 140 can also be detachably connected to the side of the first shell wall 111 facing away from the accommodation cavity 200, that is, connected to the outside of the first shell wall 111, and at this time the connecting member 140 can cover the first hole 1111.

[0069] Based on the above functions of the connecting member 140, in some embodiments, the connecting member 140 is made of silica gel. In other embodiments, the connecting member 140 can also be made of any one of rubber, latex, and leather. In addition, to further improve the safety of using the cabin section 100 and enhance the user experience, the connecting member 140 can be made of insulating material.

[0070] To install the control switch 120, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the cabin section 100 further includes a mounting plate 150. One end of the mounting plate 150 is detachably connected to the housing 110, and the other end is detachably connected to the control switch 120. Thus, the control switch 120 can be fixedly installed in the accommodation cavity 200 by relying on the mounting plate 150, and the position where the mounting plate 150 is connected to the housing 110 or the position where the control switch 120 is connected to the mounting plate 150 can be adjusted according to requirements, so that the alignment of the wiring hole 123 and the second hole 1121 can be more facilitated through flexible position adjustment. According to requirements, the mounting plate 150 can be connected to the housing 110 and the control switch 120 in any suitable form, such as bolt connection. In other embodiments, the mounting plate 150 can also be integrally formed with the housing 110. It should be noted that the detachable connection described in the present utility model can be a mating connection form of non-fixed connections such as support, lap joint, snap connection, etc.

[0071] For a more specific setting of the mounting plate 150, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the mounting plate 150 includes a first plate 151 and a second plate 152. The first plate 151 and the second plate 152 can form an arbitrary suitable angle, such as 90°. The first plate 151 is connected to the control switch 120. One end of the second plate 152 is connected to the first plate 151, and the other end is provided with a bent portion 1521. The cabin section 100 further includes a fixing plate 160, and the housing 110 further includes a third shell wall 113. The third shell wall 113 is arranged adjacent to the second shell wall 112. Along the axis direction of the first hole 1111, the third shell wall 113 is arranged opposite to the first shell wall 111. The mounting plate 150 is connected to the third shell wall 113 and extends towards the direction close to the first shell wall 111. The bent portion 1521 is configured to be able to abut against one end of the fixing plate 160 close to the first shell wall 111. It can be understood that along the axis direction of the first hole 1111, the second shell wall 112 is located between the first shell wall 111 and the third shell wall 113. The fixing plate 160 is connected to the third shell wall 113 and extends towards the first shell wall 111, and the fixing plate 160 can be used for detachably connecting the mounting plate 150 (that is, at this time, the mounting plate 150 is indirectly connected to the housing 110). Also, since the bent portion 1521 of the second plate 152 can abut against one end of the fixing plate 160 close to the first shell wall 111 (specifically, it can be a mutual limiting abutment, or an abutment through their connection and installation), the bent portion 1521 and the fixing plate 160 can form a relative sliding, and the user can select the fixed position of the mounting plate 150 according to requirements, and the operation of the mounting plate 150 is relatively convenient. It should be noted that in different embodiments, the third shell wall 113 can be the outer side wall surface of the housing 110, or can be the inner side wall surface provided inside the housing 110.

[0072] According to requirements, the second hole 1121 can be a reserved opening. Thus, in some embodiments, the second housing wall 112 includes a plate body and a knockout plate. The plate body is provided with the second hole 1121, and the knockout plate at least partially covers the second hole 1121. The knockout plate is detachably connected to the plate body. That is to say, the second hole 1121 and the knockout plate can form a knockout structure with each other. Specifically, the connection between the second hole 1121 and the knockout plate can be basically cut off, leaving only a small part of the connection structure between the two. Therefore, when an opening is needed, as long as manual force is used, or tools such as a hammer or pliers are used to disconnect the connection structure, the knockout plate can be removed to expose the second hole 1121. According to requirements, the knockout plate and the second housing wall 112 can be made of any material suitable for reserved connection, such as one of plastic and metal. With the above arrangement of the knockout plate, the second hole 1121 can be used as a reserved hole. When the control switch 120 is not wired, the knockout plate covers and blocks the second hole 1121. When wiring is needed, the corresponding knockout plate is knocked off according to the position where wiring is required to expose the second hole 1121.

[0073] See Figures 1-2 , an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention further provides an indoor unit 400 for an air conditioner, including the cabin section 100 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0074] An embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, including the indoor unit 400, an outdoor unit, and a pipeline assembly of any one of the above embodiments. Among them, the pipeline assembly connects the indoor unit 400 and the outdoor unit.
