Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] At present, with the increasing improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in every household. Currently, the air deflector of a wall-mounted air conditioner is generally installed on the base. If it is necessary to maintain or clean the components (such as cross-flow fans) inside the air deflector, the air deflector needs to be moved away first. In this process, if the air deflector is only slightly moved, the internal components cannot be completely vacated, affecting the maintenance or cleaning effect. If the air deflector is completely removed, the disassembly and assembly process is complex, time-consuming and laborious, and the maintenance or cleaning cycle is long, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The problem solved by the utility model is how to achieve the rapid displacement of the air deflector without completely removing the air deflector, which saves time and effort, and ensures that the displacement space is sufficient, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector, and providing a good user experience.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0005] The utility model provides an air conditioner, including a base, a middle frame, a panel assembly and an air deflector. The middle frame is connected to the base. The panel assembly is provided with an air outlet. The air deflector is rotatably installed in the air outlet. The panel assembly is hinged to the base or the middle frame. The panel assembly can rotate relative to the base to open. The range of the maximum opening angle of the panel assembly relative to the base is 60 degrees to 120 degrees. Compared with the prior art, since the air conditioner provided by the utility model adopts an air deflector rotatably installed in the air outlet and a panel assembly that can rotate relative to the base to open and has a maximum opening angle of 60 degrees to 120 degrees, it can achieve the rapid displacement of the air deflector without completely removing the air deflector, which saves time and effort, and ensures that the displacement space is sufficient, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector, and providing a good user experience.

[0006] Further, the maximum opening angle is 70 degrees. A reasonable maximum opening angle can ensure that the displacement space is sufficient, further facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector.

[0007] Further, the base is provided with support blocks, and the panel assembly is provided with abutting blocks. The abutting blocks are used to abut against the support blocks when the panel assembly rotates relative to the base to the maximum opening angle. At this time, the panel assembly is in the limit position, and the support blocks can support the abutting blocks, thereby supporting the entire panel assembly, maintaining the open state of the panel assembly, preventing the panel assembly from rotating downward relative to the base under the action of gravity, and facilitating the user to maintain the inner components.

[0008] Further, the support blocks are provided with first guiding surfaces, and the abutting blocks are provided with second guiding surfaces. The second guiding surfaces are used to slide relative to the first guiding surfaces when the panel assembly rotates and opens relative to the base and the rotation angle is less than the maximum opening angle.

[0009] Further, the support blocks are further provided with first abutting surfaces, and the abutting blocks are further provided with second abutting surfaces. The panel assembly and / or the base are used to rebound when the panel assembly rotates and opens relative to the base to the maximum opening angle, so that the second abutting surface abuts against the first abutting surface. The support blocks can support the abutting blocks through the abutting of the first abutting surfaces and the second abutting surfaces, thereby supporting the panel assembly and enabling the panel assembly to remain in the limit position.

[0010] Further, the base is provided with a relief groove, and an elastic arm is arranged in the relief groove. The elastic arm is connected to one side wall of the relief groove, and the support block is arranged on the elastic arm. The elastic arm has elasticity. During the process of the second guiding surface sliding relative to the first guiding surface, the second guiding surface applies pressure to the first guiding surface to drive the elastic arm to undergo elastic deformation through the support block, thereby realizing the dislocation of the support block and the abutting block.

[0011] Further, the panel assembly is provided with a connecting platform, and the abutting blocks are arranged on the connecting platform. Reinforcing ribs are arranged in the connecting platform. The reinforcing ribs are used to further improve the connection strength between the abutting blocks and the panel assembly, ensuring that the abutting blocks will not be deformed under pressure.

[0012] Further, the number of both the support blocks and the abutting blocks is two. The two support blocks are relatively arranged on both sides of the base, and each support block is used to abut against one abutting block. The two support blocks and the two abutting blocks act together to support both ends of the panel assembly simultaneously, improving the support effect and ensuring the stable and reliable positioning function of the panel assembly after it rotates and opens.

[0013] Further, the panel assembly includes a panel, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a bottom plate. The panel and the bottom plate are both connected between the first side plate and the second side plate, and the first side plate and the second side plate are relatively arranged on both sides of the base. The base is arranged between the first side plate and the second side plate, that is, the panel assembly covers part of the base, so as to facilitate the rotation and opening of the panel assembly.

[0014] Further, a first rotating shaft is provided on the first side plate, and a second rotating shaft is provided on the second side plate. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are coaxially arranged. The base is provided with a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole oppositely. The first rotating shaft is rotationally matched with the first limiting hole, and the second rotating shaft is rotationally matched with the second limiting hole. The first rotating shaft, the first limiting hole, the second rotating shaft and the second limiting hole act together to ensure the stability of the rotation of the panel assembly relative to the base, facilitating the realization of the rotation opening or rotation closing action of the panel assembly.

[0015] Further, the air conditioner further includes a lower air duct and a cross-flow fan. The cross-flow fan is installed inside the base. The lower air duct is arranged below the base and is detachably connected to the base. The bottom plate is arranged below the lower air duct and abuts against the lower air duct. The lower air duct is used to guide the air flow blown out by the cross-flow fan to the air outlet. When the panel assembly rotates and opens relative to the base, the bottom plate no longer limits the lower air duct, and the user can easily remove the lower air duct, thus facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the cross-flow fan, which is convenient and fast.

Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the embodiment of the present utility model provides an air conditioner 100 for regulating the indoor temperature. It can achieve the rapid yielding of the air deflector 130 without completely removing the air deflector 130, which saves time and effort, and ensures that the yielding space is sufficient, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector 130, providing a good user experience.

[0026] It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 is a wall-mounted air conditioner. The air conditioner 100 is hung on the indoor wall. The air conditioner 100 is used to blow hot air or cold air into the room to achieve the functions of heating or cooling, thereby regulating the indoor temperature and meeting the user's needs.

[0027] The air conditioner 100 includes a base 110, a middle frame 160, a panel assembly 120, and an air deflector 130. The middle frame 160 is connected to the base 110, and the base 110 is used to fix and limit the middle frame 160. The panel assembly 120 is provided with an air outlet 121, and the air outlet 121 is used for the blown air flow to blow out. The air deflector 130 is rotatably installed in the air outlet 121 to deflect the blown air flow, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the wind direction. The panel assembly 120 is hinged to the base 110 or the middle frame 160. The panel assembly 120 can be rotated and opened relative to the base 110, and synchronously drives the air deflector 130 to move, so that the components inside the panel assembly 120 and the air deflector 130 are exposed, facilitating the user to maintain and clean the internal components, which is convenient and fast. In this way, the rapid yielding of the air deflector 130 is achieved without completely removing the air deflector 130, saving time and effort, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector 130, and providing a good user experience.

[0028] In this embodiment, the panel assembly 120 is hinged to the base 110. The panel assembly 120 can directly rotate relative to the base 110 and at the same time rotate relative to the middle frame 160 connected to the base 110. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the panel assembly 120 can also be hinged to the middle frame 160. At this time, the panel assembly 120 can directly rotate relative to the middle frame 160 and at the same time rotate relative to the base 110 connected to the middle frame 160.

[0029] Specifically, the range of the maximum opening angle of the panel assembly 120 relative to the base 110 is from 60 degrees to 120 degrees. That is, during the process of the panel assembly 120 rotating from the installed position to the limit position of being fully opened relative to the base 110, the rotation angle of the panel assembly 120 is from 60 degrees to 120 degrees. A reasonable maximum opening angle can ensure sufficient clearance space, which further facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector 130.

[0030] In this embodiment, the position where the panel assembly 120 is hinged to the base 110 is located at the upper part of the base 110. The panel assembly 120 can be turned upwards relative to the base 110 to the limit position, so as to synchronously drive the air deflector 130 to move upwards, completely exposing the components installed on the base 110 and located inside the panel assembly 120 and the air deflector 130, and the panel assembly 120 and the air deflector 130 will not interfere with the user's maintenance and cleaning.

[0031] In this embodiment, the base 110 is installed on a vertical wall surface, and the maximum opening angle is 70 degrees. When the panel assembly 120 is in the installed state, the panel assembly 120 is arranged in contact with the base 110, and the angle between the panel assembly 120 and the vertical wall surface is 0; when the panel assembly 120 is turned upwards relative to the base 110 to the limit position, the lower part of the panel assembly 120 is separated from the base 110, and the angle between the panel assembly 120 and the vertical wall surface is 70 degrees. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the maximum opening angle can be 60 degrees or 120 degrees, and the specific size of the maximum opening angle is not limited.

[0032] It should be noted that the base 110 is provided with a support block 111, and the panel assembly 120 is provided with a holding block 122. The holding block 122 is used to abut against the support block 111 when the panel assembly 120 rotates and opens relative to the base 110 to the maximum opening angle. At this time, the panel assembly 120 is in the limit position. The support block 111 can support the holding block 122, thereby supporting the entire panel assembly 120, maintaining the open state of the panel assembly 120, and preventing the panel assembly 120 from rotating downwards relative to the base 110 under the action of gravity, which is convenient for the user to maintain the internal components.

[0033] Furthermore, both the support block 111 and the abutting block 122 are V-shaped. The support block 111 is oppositely provided with a first sliding guide surface 112 and a first abutting surface 113, and the abutting block 122 is oppositely provided with a second sliding guide surface 1221 and a second abutting surface 1222. Specifically, the second sliding guide surface 1221 is used to slide relative to the first sliding guide surface 112 when the panel assembly 120 rotates and opens relative to the base 110 and the rotation angle is less than the maximum opening angle, so that the panel assembly 120 and / or the base 110 undergo elastic deformation, thereby realizing the dislocation of the support block 111 and the abutting block 122, which is convenient for the subsequent abutment of the first abutting surface 113 and the second abutting surface 1222. The panel assembly 120 and / or the base 110 are used to rebound when the panel assembly 120 rotates and opens relative to the base 110 to the maximum opening angle, so that the second abutting surface 1222 abuts against the first abutting surface 113, and the support block 111 can support the abutting block 122 through the abutment of the first abutting surface 113 and the second abutting surface 1222, thereby supporting the panel assembly 120 and enabling the panel assembly 120 to be maintained at the limit position.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 110 is provided with a relief groove 114, and an elastic arm 115 is arranged in the relief groove 114. The elastic arm 115 is connected to one side wall of the relief groove 114, and the support block 111 is arranged on the elastic arm 115. The elastic arm 115 has elasticity. During the process of the second sliding guide surface 1221 sliding relative to the first sliding guide surface 112, the second sliding guide surface 1221 applies pressure to the first sliding guide surface 112 to drive the elastic arm 115 to undergo elastic deformation through the support block 111, thereby realizing the dislocation of the support block 111 and the abutting block 122. During this process, the elastic arm 115 deforms in the relief groove 114, and the relief groove 114 can make way for the elastic arm 115 to avoid interfering with the deformation of the elastic arm 115.

[0035] Furthermore, the panel assembly 120 is provided with a connecting platform 123, and the abutting block 122 is arranged on the connecting platform 123. The connecting platform 123 is used to improve the connection strength between the abutting block 122 and the panel assembly 120 and prevent the abutting block 122 from detaching from the panel assembly 120. Specifically, reinforcing ribs 1231 are arranged in the connecting platform 123, and the reinforcing ribs 1231 are used to further improve the connection strength between the abutting block 122 and the panel assembly 120 and ensure that the abutting block 122 will not be deformed under pressure.

[0036] During the process of the panel assembly 120 rotating and opening relative to the base 110, the abutting block 122 first moves relative to the supporting block 111 driven by the panel assembly 120 until the first guide sliding surface 112 contacts the second guide sliding surface 1221; then the panel assembly 120 continues to rotate and open, and the first guide sliding surface 112 slides relative to the second guide sliding surface 1221. During this process, since the first guide sliding surface 112 and the second guide sliding surface 1221 are both inclined, an interaction force is generated between the first guide sliding surface 112 and the second guide sliding surface 1221. Since the abutting block 122 is fixedly connected to the panel assembly 120 through the connecting platform 123, the supporting block 111 is arranged at the position of the giving way groove 114. The elastic arm 115 is on the inner side, so the elastic arm 115 is elastically deformed in the direction away from the supporting block 122; when the panel assembly 120 is rotated and opened to the maximum opening angle relative to the base 110, that is, the panel assembly 120 is in the extreme position, the first guide sliding surface 112 is separated from the second guide sliding surface 1221, and at this time, there is no longer any interaction force between the first guide sliding surface 112 and the second guide sliding surface 1221, and the support block 111 rebounds and resets under the elastic action of the elastic arm 115, so that the first supporting surface 113 and the second supporting surface 1222 are in contact with each other, thereby realizing the supporting function of the support block 111 on the supporting block 122, and then realizing the positioning function of the panel assembly 120 after it is rotated and opened.

[0037] Accordingly, in the process of rotating and closing the panel assembly 120 relative to the base 110, force is first applied to overcome the elasticity of the elastic arm 115 to separate the first abutting surface 113 from the second abutting surface 1222; then the panel assembly 120 is rotated and closed in the direction close to the base 110. During this process, the first guide sliding surface 112 slides relative to the second guide sliding surface 1221, and the support block 111 gradually rebounds and resets under the elastic action of the elastic arm 115 until the panel assembly 120 is covered on the base 110 and is fitted with the base 110.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of the supporting blocks 111 and the abutting blocks 122 are both two, and the two supporting blocks 111 are relatively arranged on both sides of the base 110, and each supporting block 111 is used to abut against one abutting block 122, and the two supporting blocks 111 and the two abutting blocks 122 work together to support both ends of the panel assembly 120 at the same time, improve the supporting effect, and ensure that the positioning function of the panel assembly 120 after rotating and opening is stable and reliable. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number of the supporting blocks 111 and the abutting blocks 122 can be one or three, and the number of the supporting blocks 111 and the abutting blocks 122 is not specifically limited.

[0039] The panel assembly 120 includes a panel 124, a first side plate 125, a second side plate 126, and a bottom plate 127. Both the panel 124 and the bottom plate 127 are connected between the first side plate 125 and the second side plate 126. The panel 124, the first side plate 125, the bottom plate 127, and the second side plate 126 are connected end to end and jointly enclose an air outlet 121. The air deflector 130 is rotatably installed in the air outlet 121. The first side plate 125 and the second side plate 126 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the base 110 and are both rotatably connected to the base 110. The base 110 is arranged between the first side plate 125 and the second side plate 126, that is, the panel assembly 120 covers part of the base 110 to facilitate the rotational opening of the panel assembly 120.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first side plate 125 is provided with a first rotating shaft 1251, and the second side plate 126 is provided with a second rotating shaft (not shown in the figure). The first rotating shaft 1251 and the second rotating shaft are coaxially arranged; the base 110 is oppositely provided with a first limiting hole 116 and a second limiting hole (not shown in the figure). The first rotating shaft 1251 is rotationally matched with the first limiting hole 116, and the second rotating shaft is rotationally matched with the second limiting hole. The first rotating shaft 1251, the first limiting hole 116, the second rotating shaft, and the second limiting hole work together to ensure the stability of the rotation of the panel assembly 120 relative to the base 110, facilitating the rotational opening or rotational closing action of the panel assembly 120.

[0041] Preferably, the air conditioner 100 further includes a lower air duct 140 and a cross-flow fan 150. The cross-flow fan 150 is installed in the base 110, and the cross-flow fan 150 is used to realize the air outlet function of the air conditioner 100. The lower air duct 140 is arranged below the base 110 and is detachably connected to the base 110. The lower air duct 140 is used to limit the cross-flow fan 150 to prevent the cross-flow fan 150 from detaching from the base 110. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 127 is arranged below the lower air duct 140 and abuts against the lower air duct 140. The bottom plate 127 is used to limit the lower air duct 140, and the lower air duct 140 is used to guide the air flow blown out by the cross-flow fan 150 to the air outlet 121. When the panel assembly 120 rotates and opens relative to the base 110, the bottom plate 127 no longer limits the lower air duct 140, and the user can easily remove the lower air duct 140, thus facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the cross-flow fan 150, which is convenient and fast.

[0042] In the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the middle frame 160 is connected to the base 110. The panel assembly 120 is provided with an air outlet 121. The air deflector 130 is rotatably installed in the air outlet 121. The panel assembly 120 is hinged to the base 110 or the middle frame 160. The panel assembly 120 can be rotated relative to the base 110 to open. The range of the maximum opening angle of the panel assembly 120 relative to the base 110 is from 60 degrees to 120 degrees. Compared with the prior art, since the air conditioner 100 provided by the present utility model adopts the air deflector 130 rotatably installed in the air outlet 121 and the panel assembly 120 that can be rotated relative to the base 110 to open and the maximum opening angle is from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, it can achieve the quick displacement of the air deflector 130 without completely removing the air deflector 130, which saves time and effort, and ensures that the displacement space is sufficient, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the air deflector 130, and the user experience is good.

[0043] Although the present utility model is disclosed as above, the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
