Description of the Drawings

[0015] Figure 1 is a schematic structural view of a floor-standing air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0016] Figure 2 is Figure 1 an enlarged view of area A in

[0017] Figure 3 is a schematic structural view of a floor-standing air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] The floor-standing air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the floor-standing air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 6, a first receiving head 21 and a second receiving head. The housing 6 has an air outlet 13. The first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head are connected to the housing 6, and the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head are located on two sides of the air outlet 13 in its width direction.

[0020] That is to say, the air outlet 13 is located between the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head in its width direction. This can avoid the situation where the sliding door blocks the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head, resulting in the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head being unable to receive the remote control signal. Moreover, by arranging the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head on both sides of the air outlet 13, users can remotely control the floor-standing air conditioner 100 from different directions.

[0021] Therefore, the floor-standing air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of being able to stably receive remote control signals from different directions, being convenient to control, and having stable signal reception.

[0022] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the floor-standing air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 6, a first receiving head 21, and a second receiving head. Both the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head can be infrared receiving heads. Users can control the floor-standing air conditioner 100 from different directions, so that the floor-standing air conditioner 100 has the advantages of being convenient to control and having stable signal reception.

[0023] The housing 6 includes a first front side plate 11 and a second front side plate 12 respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the air outlet 13. The first front side plate 11 covers the first receiving head 21, and the second front side plate 12 covers the second receiving head. This can make the structure of the housing 6 more reasonable, and the first receiving head 21 and the second receiving head can also be correspondingly protected.

[0024] Optionally, both the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 can be arc-shaped, that is, neither the first front side plate 11 nor the second front side plate 12 is a flat plate. The first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the air outlet 13. That is to say, the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 are not directly connected, that is, the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 are two independent front side plates. In other words, both the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 13 are open.

[0025] Those skilled in the art can understand that cold air and hot air may not be discharged from the entire air outlet 13 of the floor-standing air conditioner 100. For example, the lower part of the air outlet 13 is covered by the lower panel, and the middle and upper parts of the air outlet 13 are oppositely arranged with the air outlet frame of the floor-standing air conditioner 100, so as to discharge cold air and hot air through the middle and upper parts of the air outlet 13.

[0026] The air outlet 13 is located between the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 in its width direction. For example, the air outlet 13 is located between the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 in the left-right direction (circumferential direction of the floor-standing air conditioner 100). The first front side plate 11 can be located on the left side of the air outlet 13, and the second front side plate 12 can be located on the right side of the air outlet 13.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the first receiving head 21 is opposite to the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11 in the front-rear direction, and the first receiving head 21 is located behind the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11. The thickness of the first part 111 is less than the thickness of the remaining part of the first front side plate 11. By making the thickness of the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11 less than the thickness of the remaining part of the first front side plate 11, the remote control signal can more easily pass through the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11, so that the remote control signal can be more easily received by the first receiving head 21. The front-rear direction is as Figure 2 shown by the arrow B in

[0028] Further optionally, the thickness of the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11 is less than or equal to a preset thickness. Thereby, the remote control signal can more easily pass through the first part 111 of the first front side plate 11, so that the remote control signal can be more easily received by the first receiving head 21.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the floor-standing air conditioner 100 further includes a first column 3, and the first column 3 is connected to the first front side plate 11. By providing the first column 3 connected to the first front side plate 11, the structural strength of the first front side plate 11 can be further improved, and the first front side plate 11 can be prevented from deforming after being used for a period of time. The first receiving head 21 is provided on the first column 3. Thereby, the first receiving head 21 can be installed more conveniently and more stably.

[0030] Optionally, the first column 3 has a mounting groove 31, and the first receiving head 21 is provided in the mounting groove 31. Thereby, the space occupied by the first receiving head 21 can be reduced, so that the structure of the floor-standing air conditioner 100 is more compact. Moreover, the mounting groove 31 can also be used to protect the first receiving head 21, so as to extend the service life of the first receiving head 21.

[0031] Optionally, the front end of the mounting groove 31 is open, that is, the opening of the mounting groove 31 faces forward. Thereby, the remote control signal can be more easily received by the first receiving head 21.

[0032] The floor-standing air conditioner 100 further includes a third mounting box. The third mounting box is provided on the first column 3. The third mounting box has a third mounting cavity with an open front end, and the first receiving head 21 is provided in the third mounting cavity. Thereby, the first receiving head 21 can be first installed in the third mounting cavity of the third mounting box, and then the third mounting box can be installed on the first column 3, so that the first receiving head 21 can be installed more conveniently and more quickly.

[0033] Optionally, the first upright column 3 has a receiving groove with an open front end, and at least a part of the third mounting box is located in the receiving groove. This can make the structure of the floor-standing air conditioner 100 more compact. The third mounting box can be bonded to the first upright column 3 with an adhesive, or the third mounting box can be detachably mounted on the first upright column 3 with fasteners (such as screws and bolts).

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the second receiving head is provided on the second front side plate 12. Optionally, the second front side plate 12 is provided with a mounting hole penetrating in the thickness direction thereof, that is, the mounting hole penetrates the second front side plate 12 in the thickness direction of the second front side plate 12. The housing 6 further includes an operation assembly 4, and the operation assembly 4 is located on the right side of the air outlet 13 for the convenience of the user's right hand to operate. The operation assembly 4 is provided at the mounting hole of the second front side plate 12, and the second receiving head is provided on the operation assembly 4. This can not only install the second receiving head more conveniently and stably, but also make the structures of the housing 6 and the floor-standing air conditioner 100 more compact and reasonable.

[0035] The operation assembly 4 includes a first mounting box 41 and an operation panel. The first mounting box 41 has a first mounting cavity with an open front end. The first mounting cavity is opposite to the mounting hole, and the second receiving head is provided in the first mounting cavity. The operation panel is provided on the second front side plate 12. The operation panel covers the mounting hole, and the operation panel is provided with keys. This can make the structures of the housing 6 and the floor-standing air conditioner 100 more compact and reasonable.

[0036] Optionally, the first mounting box 41 is provided on the rear surface of the second front side plate 12. This can install the first mounting box 41 more conveniently and stably.

[0037] The first mounting box 41 can be bonded to the rear surface of the second front side plate 12 with an adhesive, or the first mounting box 41 can be detachably mounted on the rear surface of the second front side plate 12 with fasteners (such as screws and bolts). The front surface of the operation panel can be flush with the front surface of the second front side plate 12 to make the floor-standing air conditioner 100 more tidy and beautiful.

[0038] The housing 6 further includes a sliding door and a reserved mounting part for mounting a receiving head. The sliding door is movably arranged between a closed position for closing the air outlet 13 and an open position for opening the air outlet 13. The upper edge of the sliding door is adjacent to the upper edges of the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 in the up-and-down direction. Optionally, the upper edge of the sliding door is flush with the upper edges of the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 in the up-and-down direction. The sliding door in the closed position blocks the reserved mounting part.

[0039] As described above, by arranging the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 at intervals in the width direction of the air outlet 13, the upper end of the air outlet 13 is opened. Furthermore, the sliding door can have a relatively large height (the upper edge of the sliding door is adjacent to the upper edges of the first front side plate 11 and the second front side plate 12 in the vertical direction).

[0040] By providing the reserved installation part, the third receiving head can be conveniently and quickly added to the reserved installation part. Thereby, the versatility of the housing 6 of the floor-standing air conditioner 100 can be improved, so that the housing 6 can be used for different models of the floor-standing air conditioner 100. For example, the housing 6 can be used for the basic model of the floor-standing air conditioner 100, in which case there is no need to add the third receiving head to the reserved installation part. The housing 6 can also be used for the high-end model of the floor-standing air conditioner 100, in which case only the third receiving head needs to be added to the reserved installation part. The high-end model of the floor-standing air conditioner 100 can solve the problem that the sliding door affects the receiving head from receiving the signal sent by the remote controller by arranging a specific sliding door.

[0041] Optionally, the sliding door in the closed position is in front of the reserved installation part, and the top of the sliding door in the closed position is opposite to the reserved installation part in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the structure of the housing 6 and the floor-standing air conditioner 100 can be made more reasonable.

[0042] Optionally, the floor-standing air conditioner 100 further includes a display component 5. The sliding door in the closed position shields the display component 5. The sliding door in the closed position is in front of the display component 5, and the top of the sliding door in the closed position is opposite to the display component 5 in the front-rear direction. The reserved installation part is provided on the display component 5. Thereby, not only can the reserved installation part be installed more conveniently and more firmly, but also the structure of the housing 6 and the floor-standing air conditioner 100 can be made more compact and more reasonable.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, the display component 5 includes a second installation box and a display screen 51. The second installation box has a second installation cavity with an open front end, and the reserved installation part is provided in the second installation cavity. The display screen 51 is provided on the second installation box. Thereby, the structure of the housing 6 and the floor-standing air conditioner 100 can be made more compact and more reasonable. The display screen 51 can display the operating state information of the floor-standing air conditioner 100. For example, the display screen 51 can display information such as the wind speed, the set temperature, and the working mode.

[0044] Optionally, a circuit board is provided in the second installation cavity, and a welding area is reserved on the circuit board, and the welding area constitutes the reserved installation part.

[0045] Optionally, the sliding door includes a glass layer and a spray coating. The spray coating is provided on at least one of the front surface and the rear surface of the glass layer to make the appearance of the sliding door more beautiful. By making the sliding door include a glass layer, the housing 6 can be used for the high-end vertical air conditioner 100. The vertical air conditioner 100 further includes a third receiving head, and the third receiving head is provided in the reserved installation part.

[0046] Although the sliding door including the glass layer and the spray coating blocks the third receiving head, neither the glass layer nor the spray coating of the sliding door will affect the third receiving head's reception of the signal emitted by the remote controller. Moreover, by providing the third receiving head, the user can remotely control the vertical air conditioner 100 from more directions, making it more convenient for the user to remotely control the vertical air conditioner 100 and making the vertical air conditioner 100 more convenient to use.
