It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0026] The top cover body 1 has a fixing area;

[0027] The inner lining 2 is detachably connected to the top cover body 1 and is used to open or cover the fixing area;

[0028] The first connection assembly includes a plurality of first buckles 3 and a plurality of first buckle grooves 5. One of the first buckles 3 and the first buckle grooves 5 is provided on the top cover body 1, and the other is provided on the inner lining 2. The first buckle 3 is buckled with the first buckle groove 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to increase the structural strength of the top cover body 1, the top cover body 1 has a fixing area for connecting the inner lining 2. The inner lining 2 is detachably connected to the fixing area of the top cover body 1 to strengthen the structural strength of the top cover body 1 and protect the electrical control structure inside the air conditioner. The first buckle 3 is provided on the top cover body 1, and the first buckle groove 5 is provided on the inner lining 2. Buckling the first buckle 3 with the first buckle groove 5 facilitates the installation of the inner lining 2 on the top cover body 1, and then installing the top cover body 1 on the air conditioner. While strengthening the structural strength of the top cover body 1, it is used to cover the electrical control structure and protect it. Compared with the method of adding metal parts on the top cover to strengthen the structure, it is safer and avoids the risk of electric leakage. The top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2 are buckled inside the top cover, ensuring the appearance consistency of the whole air conditioner and improving the aesthetic degree.

[0030] A notch is provided on the top cover body 1 or the inner lining 2. The first buckle 3 is provided in the notch, and a buckling gap is formed between the end of the first buckle 3 and the inner wall of the notch.

[0031] In this embodiment, by leaving an appropriate gap between the first buckle 3 and the inner wall of the notch, while ensuring that the first buckle 3 can be smoothly inserted into the first buckle groove 5, the stability of the connection structure can also be ensured. Since the first buckle 3 can move relatively freely and use the buckling gap to adapt to different installation positions, this makes the installation and disassembly process more convenient. The buckling gap can reduce the wear problem caused by long-term use, thereby extending the service life.

[0032] The top cover body 1 or the inner lining 2 is provided with two connecting sections 4, the two connecting sections 4 are arranged at an angle, the first buckle groove 5 is constructed therebetween, and the two connecting sections 4 are slidably arranged in the buckling gap to buckle the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 together or apart.

[0033] In this embodiment, two connecting sections 4 are provided on the top cover body 1. The two connecting sections 4 are arranged at an angle and configured to form a first buckle groove 5. The two connecting sections 4 can slide in the buckling gap between the end of the first buckle 3 and the inner wall of the notch, so as to facilitate the buckling or separation of the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5.

[0034] At least one of the two connecting sections 4 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 6 at intervals.

[0035] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 6 ensures that the connecting section 4 can still maintain a stable shape when subjected to external pressure or impact, so as to maintain the connection between the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 .

[0036] The top cover body 1 is provided with a slide groove, the lining 2 is slidably disposed in the slide groove, and when the lining 2 is located at the end of the slide groove, the first buckle 3 is buckled with the first buckle groove 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, the lining 2 can be easily installed or disassembled through the sliding mechanism, which simplifies the operation process. The end of the slide groove serves as the position where the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 are buckled together, ensuring the accuracy of the installation of the lining 2 and avoiding unnecessary position deviations. When the lining 2 slides from the front end of the slide groove to the end of the slide groove, the connection and buckling of the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 can ensure that the lining 2 is in the correct position and maintains a stable state, so that the connection between the top cover body 1 and the lining 2 is simple, fast, stable and reliable.

[0038] The first buckle 3 and the connecting section 4 are made of elastic material.

[0039] In this embodiment, the elastic material allows the first buckle 3 to be more easily inserted into or removed from the first buckle groove 5, simplifying the installation and disassembly process, and also helps the first buckle 3 to generate a certain fastening force when inserted into the first buckle groove 5, ensuring a close fit between the two.

[0040] The mounting structure also includes a second connecting component spaced apart from the first connecting component, the second connecting component including a plurality of second buckles 7 and a plurality of second buckle grooves 8, one of the second buckles 7 and the second buckle grooves 8 being arranged on the top cover body 1, and the other being arranged on the lining 2, the second buckle 7 being buckled with the second buckle groove 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, outside the first connection component, the installation structure further includes a second connection component. The second connection component is spaced apart from the first connection component. The second connection component provides additional connection points between the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2. The second connection component includes a plurality of second buckles 7 and a plurality of second buckle grooves 8. These second buckles 7 and second buckle grooves 8 are respectively arranged on the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2. The second buckles 7 and the second buckle grooves 8 are buckled with each other, so as to realize the additional connection between the inner lining 2 and the top cover body 1 and improve the connection stability between the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2.

[0042] The buckling direction of the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 is the same as the buckling direction of the second buckle 7 and the second buckle groove 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, the buckling direction of the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5 is the same as that of the second buckle 7 and the second buckle groove 8. The consistent buckling direction helps to improve the consistency and efficiency of the installation process and reduce the possible errors caused by inconsistent directions.

[0044] The top cover body 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 9. When the inner lining 2 is connected to the top cover body 1, the positioning protrusions 9 are in clearance fit with the inner lining 2. The opposite end faces of the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2 are respectively provided with a matching guide protrusion 10 and a guide groove 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning protrusions 9 are arranged on the top cover body 1. The positioning protrusions 9 are located behind the first buckle 3 and the first buckle groove 5. When the inner lining 2 is connected to the top cover body 1, the positioning protrusions 9 are in clearance fit with the inner lining 2 to prevent the inner lining 2 from retreating backward. On the other hand, the opposite end faces of the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2 are respectively provided with a matching guide protrusion 10 and a guide groove 11. The guide protrusion 10 and the guide groove 11 are located on the left and right sides of the top cover body 1 and the inner lining 2. When the inner lining 2 is connected to the top cover body 1, the guide protrusions 10 and the guide grooves 11 at the left and right ends are buckled with each other to further prevent the inner lining 2 and the top cover body 1 from being displaced.
