Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, and particularly relates to a panel mounting structure and an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] An air conditioner, i.e., an air conditioner, refers to a device that uses artificial means to adjust and control parameters such as the temperature, humidity, and flow rate of the air in a building or structure. The panel of the existing indoor unit of the air conditioner relies on the convex bumps on its hinge to fix the panel on the middle frame, which is realized through the elastic deformation of the elastic stop on the middle frame during the opening and closing process of the panel. Since the slopes of the mating surfaces of the elastic stop and the convex bumps are different during opening and closing, the opening force is smaller than the closing force.
[0003] However, with the increasing demand for the diversification of the appearance of air conditioners, such as adding an LED display screen to the panel, the existing panel opening structure cannot bear the excessive weight of the panel, resulting in the panel may close due to its own weight when opening, injuring people.

[0036] As Figures 1-6 shown, the present utility model provides a panel mounting structure, including a middle frame 100 and a panel 200. The panel 200 has a connecting arm 300. One end of the connecting arm 300 away from the panel 200 is rotatably connected to the middle frame 100, so that the panel 200 can be opened relative to the middle frame 100. A first connection structure 110 is provided at the top of the middle frame 100, and a second connection structure 310 is provided on the connecting arm 300. The first connection structure 110 and the second connection structure 310 are configured to be interconnected and locked after the panel 200 is opened by a preset opening angle, so as to fix the panel 200 at the preset opening angle.
[0037] It should be noted that generally, connecting arms 300 are provided at both ends of the panel 200, and it is rotatably connected to the middle frame 100 through the connecting arms 300, realizing the relative rotation between the panel 200 and the middle frame 100, so as to realize the switching between the closed and open states of the panel 200 and the middle frame 100.
[0038] A first connection structure 110 is provided at the top of the middle frame 100, and its top generally refers to the outer part of the top wall of the middle frame 100.
[0039] The first connection structure 110 and the second connection structure 310 can be interconnected and locked, that is, the first connection structure 110 and the second connection structure 310 can form a locking connection when the panel 200 rotates to the preset opening angle, thus forming a fixed support structure to fix the panel 200 at the preset opening angle.
[0040] According to the above description, it can be understood that the panel mounting structure realizes that the panel 200 can be opened relative to the middle frame 100 by providing a connecting arm 300 that connects the middle frame 100 and the panel 200 and rotatably connecting the connecting arm 300 to the middle frame 100. At the same time, a first connecting structure 110 is provided at the top of the middle frame 100, and a second connecting structure 310 is provided on the connecting arm 300. After the panel 200 is opened to a preset opening angle, the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310 are snap-connected to fix the panel 200 at the preset opening angle, so that the fixing structure between the panel 200 and the middle frame 100 can have a certain load-bearing capacity and prevent the panel 200 from closing due to its own weight.
[0041] In some embodiments, a plurality of second connecting structures 310 are provided on the connecting arm 300, and the plurality of second connecting structures 310 are spaced apart along the length direction of the connecting arm 300. Each second connecting structure 310 can be respectively snap-connected to the first connecting structure 110 so that the panel 200 can be fixed at different preset opening angles.
[0042] It can be understood that by providing a plurality of second connecting structures 310 spaced apart on the connecting arm 300 and enabling each connecting structure to be snap-connected to the first connecting structure 110, the panel 200 can be fixed relative to the middle frame 100 at a plurality of different preset opening angles.
[0043] It should be noted that in order for a plurality of second connecting structures 310 to all cross over the top of the middle frame 100 and be snap-connected to the first connecting structure 110, generally, the plurality of second connecting structures 310 are all arranged close to the panel 200. Taking the midpoint of the length of the connecting arm 300 as an example, the plurality of second connecting structures 310 are all located between the midpoint of the length of the connecting arm 300 and the end close to the panel 200.
[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of first connecting structures 110 are provided at the top of the middle frame 100, and the plurality of first connecting structures 110 are spaced apart along the width direction of the middle frame 100. Each first connecting structure 110 can be respectively snap-connected to the second connecting structure 310 so that the panel 200 can be fixed at different preset opening angles.
[0045] It can be understood that by providing a plurality of first connecting structures 110 at the top of the middle frame 100 and enabling each first connecting structure 110 to be respectively snap-connected to the second connecting structure 310, the panel 200 can be fixed relative to the middle frame 100 at different preset opening angles.
[0046] It should be noted that in order to enable the multiple first connection structures 110 to be interlocked with the second connection structure 310, due to the length of the connecting arm 300, the multiple first connection structures 110 are generally arranged near the top of the middle frame 100 close to the end of the panel 200.
[0047] In some embodiments, a plurality of second connection structures 310 are provided on the connecting arm, and a plurality of first connection structures 110 are provided on the top of the middle frame 100. Each first connection structure 110 corresponds to a second connection structure 310 and can be interlocked so that the panel 200 can be fixed at different preset opening angles.
[0048] It should be noted that a plurality of second connecting structures 310 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting arm 300, and a plurality of first connecting structures 110 are arranged along the width direction of the middle frame 100. By virtue of the characteristic that each second connecting structure 310 can be interlocked with a first connecting structure 110, the panel 200 can be fixed at different preset opening angles.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first connection structure 110 is a slot, and the second connection structure 310 is a hook that can be interlocked with the slot. The first connection structure 110 and the second connection structure 310 are interlocked by the hook locking the slot.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first connection structure 110 is a buckle pair, and the second connection structure 310 is a buckle, and the buckle and the buckle pair can form an interlocking connection.
[0051] In some embodiments, an axial hole 120 is disposed on the middle frame 100 , and a rotating shaft 320 is disposed on the connecting arm 300 , and the rotating shaft 320 is movably connected to the axial hole 120 .
[0052] Generally, an axis hole 120 is provided on both sides of the middle frame 100, and the panel 200 has two connecting arms 300. Each connecting arm 300 has a rotating shaft 320 at one end away from the panel 200. Each rotating shaft 320 is movably connected to an axis hole 120, that is, the rotating shaft 320 can be rotated relative to the axis hole 120, so that the panel 200 can be rotated relative to the middle frame 100.
[0053] In some embodiments, the axial hole 120 has a first position and a second position, the first position is located on the side of the second position away from the panel 200, the panel 200 mounting structure has a closed state, a locked state and an active state, and the rotating shaft 320 can move between the first position and the second position so that the closed state and the active state can be switched with each other, and the active state and the locked state can be switched with each other.
[0054] Switch from the closed state to the active state: The panel 200 gradually opens from the closed position to the first angle, and the rotating shaft 320 gradually moves from the first position to the second position accordingly. After the rotating shaft 320 is in the second position, the panel 200 can be opened from the first angle to the second angle. After the panel 200 is opened to the second angle, the panel 200 rotates above the top, and the second connecting structure 310 is located above the first connecting structure 110.
[0055] Switch from the active state to the locked state: The panel 200 gradually moves down from the second angle until the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310 are engaged with each other. The rotating shaft 320 then gradually moves from the second position to the first position, so that the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310 are locked by engagement, and the panel 200 is fixed at the preset opening angle.
[0056] Switch from the locked state to the active state: The panel 200 gradually moves up from the preset opening angle, and the rotating shaft 320 moves from the first position towards the second position accordingly. After the rotating shaft 320 moves to the second position, the panel 200 moves up to the second angle, so that the panel 200 can rotate around the top of the middle frame 100 to the first angle.
[0057] Switch from the active state to the closed state: The panel 200 rotates from the second angle to the first angle, and the panel 200 gradually closes from the first angle. The rotating shaft 320 then moves from the second position towards the first position until the panel 200 is closed after the rotating shaft 320 is in the first position.
[0058] Among them, the shaft hole 120 is generally configured as a long slot. The first position and the second position are respectively the two ends of the long slot. The first position is the end of the long slot close to the inner side of the middle frame 100, and the second position is the end of the long slot close to the outer side of the middle frame 100. The reciprocating movement of the rotating shaft 320 between the first position and the second position can change the rotation center of the connecting arm 300, thereby changing the distance between the other end of the connecting arm 300 and the top of the middle frame 100.
[0059] It can be understood that when the rotating shaft 320 moves to the second position, the distance between the other end of the connecting arm 300 and the top of the middle frame 100 is larger, which enables the panel 200 to rotate from the lower side of the top of the middle frame 100 to the upper side of the top of the middle frame 100. Furthermore, it enables the second connecting structure 310 and the first connecting structure 110 to be engaged with each other. After the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310 are engaged with each other, moving the rotating shaft 320 back to the first position can lock the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310, that is, by reducing the distance between the other end of the connecting arm 300 and the top of the middle frame 100, the panel 200 cannot move from the upper side of the top of the middle frame 100 to the lower side of the top of the middle frame 100, realizing the locking of the first connecting structure 110 and the second connecting structure 310, and ensuring the stability of the panel 200 fixed at the preset opening angle.
[0060] When it is necessary to release the interlocking of the first connection structure 110 and the second connection structure 310, the rotating shaft 320 is moved to the second position, so that the distance between the other end of the connecting arm 300 and the top of the middle frame 100 is increased, and thus the panel 200 can be rotated from the upper part of the top of the middle frame 100 to the lower side of the top of the middle frame 100.
[0061] After the panel 200 rotates from the upper side of the top of the middle frame 100 to the lower side, the rotating shaft 320 is moved to the first position, so that the panel 200 can be smoothly closed with the middle frame 100.
[0062] In some embodiments, the shaft hole 120 has a first groove and a second groove. The first groove and the second groove are respectively located at both ends of the shaft hole 120. When the rotating shaft 320 is in the first groove, the rotating shaft 320 is in the first position. When the rotating shaft 320 is in the second groove, the rotating shaft 320 is in the second position.
[0063] It can be understood that when the rotating shaft 320 is in the first position and the second position, the first groove and the second groove can make the rotating shaft 320 be in the groove, which can avoid sliding, make the rotating shaft 320 stably in the first position or the second position, and further keep the state of the panel 200 stable.
[0064] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 300 is in an "L" shape. The connecting arm 300 includes a first sub-arm 301 and a second sub-arm 302. The first sub-arm 301 is rotatably connected to the middle frame 100. The second sub-arm 302 is connected to the panel 200. The second connection structure 310 is arranged on the second sub-arm 302.
[0065] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 300 and the panel 200 are integrally formed.
[0066] In some embodiments, the second connection structure 310 and the connecting arm 300 are integrally formed.
[0067] In some embodiments, the connecting arm 300 and the panel 200 are integrally formed, and the second connection structure 310 and the connecting arm 300 are integrally formed.
[0068] In some embodiments, the present utility model further provides an air conditioner, and the panel mounting structure of the above-mentioned part or all of the embodiments is used for the air conditioner.
[0069] Since the pipeline assembly includes the panel mounting structure of the above-mentioned embodiments or combined embodiments, it has at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned counterweight device, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
[0070] The above are only alternative embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly.
