Technical Field

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

[0002] During the operation of an air conditioner, especially when the heating function is used in winter, the indoor air often becomes dry. Excessively dry air can make people feel uncomfortable, and generally users will use an air humidifier in conjunction. In order to better meet the needs of users and improve the functionality of the air conditioner, an air conditioner with a humidifying function has become a development direction of air conditioners.

[0003] However, since the indoor unit of the air conditioner is generally installed at a relatively high height, it is necessary to climb to add water to the humidifying module of the air conditioner, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is how to more conveniently add water to the water tank assembly installed in the indoor unit.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes an air conditioner, which can more conveniently facilitate users to add water and occupies less space.

[0006] The utility model provides an air conditioner, including an indoor unit, a water tank assembly, a telescopic assembly, and a pull-down rod;

[0007] The indoor unit is provided with a water tank installation cavity, and the water tank installation cavity has an opening facing downward;

[0008] The bottom end of the telescopic assembly is connected to the water tank assembly, and the top end of the telescopic assembly is connected to the indoor unit in the water tank installation cavity;

[0009] When the telescopic assembly is in the shortened state, the water tank assembly can be received in the water tank installation cavity through the opening;

[0010] When the telescopic assembly is in the extended state, the water tank assembly can be moved downward out of the water tank installation cavity through the opening;

[0011] An installation groove is provided on the same side of the water tank assembly where the telescopic assembly is provided, and the pull-down rod is installed in the installation groove.

[0012] In this application, a telescopic component is provided to connect the water tank component to the indoor unit, so that the water tank component can be conveniently moved downward out of the water tank installation cavity or upwardly installed into the water tank installation cavity. The telescopic component can also guide the water tank component during its lifting and lowering process to ensure stable lifting and lowering, and prevent the water tank component from shaking during the lifting and lowering process. In this application, a pull rod is provided on the water tank component. When the user adds water to the water tank component, the user can stand on the ground and pull down the water tank component through the pull rod to add water. After adding water, the user can push up the water tank component through the pull rod and install it in the water tank installation cavity. During the entire process of adding water to the water tank component, the user does not need to climb to a height to achieve this. Most importantly, in this application, the installation groove for installing the pull rod and the telescopic component are arranged on the same side of the water tank component, so that the telescopic component and the force application point are on the same side, making the water tank component move more smoothly when pulled down or pushed up by the pull rod. And setting the pull rod and the installation groove in this way can also save space.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the pull rod is movably installed in the installation groove, and the pull rod can telescopically move relative to the water tank component;

[0014] When the pull rod is in the unfolded state, the pull rod extends downward out of the bottom of the indoor unit, so that the user can pull down or push up the water tank component through the pull rod;

[0015] When the pull rod is in the received state, at least a part of the pull rod is received in the installation groove.

[0016] In this application, the pull rod is movably installed in the installation groove, so that the pull rod can telescopically move relative to the water tank component. In this way, the pull rod can be received in the installation groove in the season when the humidification function of the air conditioner is not used, thus avoiding the occupation of the space below by the pull rod, and the pull rod can be unfolded downward in the season when the humidification function of the air conditioner is used.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, the pull rod includes a U-shaped pull rod, a clamping component, and an unlocking component;

[0018] Two installation grooves are provided on the side wall of the water tank component where the telescopic component is installed;

[0019] A first clamping hole and a second clamping hole are spaced apart in the height direction of the side wall of the installation groove, and the first clamping hole is located above the second clamping hole;

[0020] The clamping component is installed at the top end of the U-shaped pull rod, the unlocking component is installed at the bottom end of the U-shaped pull rod, and the unlocking component is in transmission connection with the clamping component, and the unlocking component drives the clamping component to retract into the U-shaped pull rod;

[0021] The two ends of the top of the U-shaped pull rod are respectively inserted into the two installation grooves in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0022] When the U-shaped pull rod is in the received state, the clamping component is clamped in the first clamping hole;

[0023] When the U-shaped pull rod is in the unfolded state, the clamping component is clamped in the second clamping hole.

[0024] In this application, by setting the lower pull rod as a U-shaped pull rod, it is a double-rod structure with two connection positions to the water tank assembly, and the structural stability is stronger. Secondly, setting the clamping component and the unlocking component can facilitate the U-shaped pull rod to maintain the unfolded state or the stored state. Such a setting also allows the user to pull down the water tank assembly through the lower pull rod and also facilitates the user to push up the water tank assembly. Setting the two mounting grooves for installing the U-shaped pull rod on the side wall of the water tank assembly where the telescopic component is installed only requires making this side wall of the water tank assembly thicker, which saves more space.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, the number of telescopic components includes one. The bottom end of the telescopic component is fixed between the two mounting grooves, and the two mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the telescopic component.

[0026] In this application, the number of telescopic components is set to one, and the two mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the telescopic component. In this way, the force application point of the U-shaped pull rod will be on the same vertical line as the telescopic component, so as to balance the force application point and the force receiving point, which can reduce the force and improve the stability of the lifting of the water tank assembly for the convenience of user operation.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, an assembly groove is provided in the middle of the side wall of the water tank assembly where the mounting groove is set in the width direction, and the lower end of the telescopic component is installed in the assembly groove.

[0028] In this application, the assembly groove is provided to accommodate the lower end of the telescopic component, so that the telescopic component can be installed more stably and space can be saved.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment, the water tank assembly further includes a buffer spring. The buffer spring is arranged in the assembly groove and is located between the telescopic component and the side wall of the water tank assembly. One end of the buffer spring is connected to the water tank assembly, and the other end is connected to the indoor unit.

[0030] In this application, by connecting a buffer spring between the water tank assembly and the indoor unit, the water tank assembly can be buffered during the descending process so that the water tank assembly descends slowly. And setting the buffer spring between the telescopic component in the assembly groove and the side wall of the water tank assembly can save space.

[0031] In an alternative embodiment, the number of telescopic components includes two. The two telescopic components are correspondingly arranged on the outer sides in the width direction of the two mounting grooves, and the bottom ends of the two telescopic components are both connected to the water tank assembly;

[0032] The two telescopic components are symmetrically arranged about the midline between the two mounting grooves.

[0033] In this embodiment, two telescopic components are provided, and the two telescopic components are symmetrically arranged with respect to the midline between the two mounting grooves. This can also make the forces on the two telescopic components relatively balanced, facilitating user operation.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the unlocking component includes a guide post, a locking block, and a first spring;

[0035] A hollow chamber is provided inside the U-shaped pull rod, and a side hole communicating with the hollow chamber is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped pull rod near the top;

[0036] The guide post is installed inside the hollow chamber and corresponds to the side hole;

[0037] The locking block is installed on the guide post, and the clamping post of the locking block corresponds to the side hole;

[0038] The first spring is sleeved on the guide post and abuts against the locking block;

[0039] The first spring can move the locking block away from the guide post, so that the clamping post extends out of the side hole and is clamped in the first clamping hole or the second clamping hole;

[0040] The unlocking component includes a button part, a guiding part, and a second spring;

[0041] The button part is arranged at the bottom end of the U-shaped pull rod;

[0042] The second spring abuts against the button part and is used for resetting the button part;

[0043] The guiding part is arranged inside the hollow chamber, and the bottom end of the guiding part is connected to the button part, and the top end of the guiding part extends to the locking block;

[0044] The top end of the guiding part is provided with a first guiding surface, and the locking block is provided with a second guiding surface, and the first guiding surface abuts against the second guiding surface;

[0045] Pressing the button can compress the second spring and drive the guiding part to move, thereby driving the locking block to move towards the guide post.

[0046] By setting the clamping component and the unlocking component as the above structures in this application, it is more convenient for users to operate. When the user retracts or unfolds the lower pull rod, they only need to operate the button, which is more convenient.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, the telescopic component is a telescopic guide rail. The bottom end of the telescopic guide rail is connected to the rear side wall of the water tank component, and the mounting groove is arranged on the rear side wall of the water tank component.

[0048] In this application, the telescopic component is set as a telescopic guide rail, which can not only achieve telescoping but also guide during the telescoping process. The installation groove and the telescopic guide rail are arranged at the rear side of the water tank component, so that the width dimension of the water tank component can be minimized, thereby shortening the length of the indoor unit.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the water tank component includes a water tank and a water tank tray;

[0050] The water tank tray includes a bottom plate and left, right, and rear side plates arranged on the bottom plate;

[0051] An opening is formed between the left side plate and the right side plate, and the water tank can be installed into the water tank tray through the opening;

[0052] The lower ends of the installation groove and the telescopic component are both arranged on the rear side plate.

[0053] In this application, the water tank component is set as a water tank tray and a water tank, so that the water tank can be conveniently removed through the opening between the left side plate and the right side plate of the water tank tray, facilitating the user to add water to the water tank and clean the water tank. Installing the installation groove and the telescopic component on the rear side plate can make the left side plate and the right side plate of the water tank tray thinner, thereby shortening the length of the indoor unit.

[0054] In an alternative embodiment, a water pump bracket is arranged in the water tank installation cavity, and a water pump is arranged at the bottom end of the water pump bracket;

[0055] A water filling port is arranged at the top of the water tank component, and the water pump bracket corresponds to the water filling port;

[0057] The air conditioner further includes a humidification module, which is arranged in the indoor unit and is connected to the water pump through a pipeline.

[0058] In this application, by setting the water pump bracket and arranging the water filling port of the water tank component upward, when the user pulls down the water tank component, the water pump bracket drives the water pump to be removed from the water filling port of the water tank component without the need for separate operation. When the user pushes the water tank component upward into the water tank installation cavity, the water pump bracket can be inserted into the water tank component without separate operation either, making it more convenient to use.

Detailed implementation manners

[0069] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9, the present utility model provides an air conditioner 100, which includes an indoor unit 110, a water tank assembly 130, a telescopic assembly 150, and a pull-down rod 170. The indoor unit 110 is provided with a water tank installation cavity 111, and the water tank installation cavity 111 has an opening 113 opened downward. The bottom end of the telescopic assembly 150 is connected to the water tank assembly 130, and the top end of the telescopic assembly 150 is connected to the indoor unit 110 within the water tank installation cavity 111. When the telescopic assembly 150 is in the shortened state, the water tank assembly 130 can be received in the water tank installation cavity 111 through the opening 113. When the telescopic assembly 150 is in the extended state, the water tank assembly 130 can be moved downward out of the water tank installation cavity 111 through the opening 113. An installation groove 131 is provided on one side of the water tank assembly 130 where the telescopic assembly 150 is arranged, and the pull-down rod 170 is installed in the installation groove 131 and extends downward relative to the indoor unit 110.

[0071] In this embodiment, by providing the telescopic assembly 150 to connect the water tank assembly 130 and the indoor unit 110, it is thus possible to conveniently move the water tank assembly 130 downward out of the water tank installation cavity 111 or upwardly install it into the water tank installation cavity 111. The telescopic assembly 150 can also guide the water tank assembly 130 to stably lift and lower during the lifting and lowering process of the water tank assembly 130, avoiding the water tank assembly 130 from shaking during the lifting and lowering process. In this application, by providing the pull-down rod 170 on the water tank assembly 130, when the user adds water to the water tank assembly 130, the user can stand on the ground and pull down the water tank assembly 130 through the pull-down rod 170 for adding water, and after adding water, the user can push up the water tank assembly 130 through the pull-down rod 170 and install it in the water tank installation cavity 111. During the entire process of adding water to the water tank assembly 130, the user does not need to climb to a height to achieve it. Most importantly, in this application, the installation groove 131 for installing the pull-down rod 170 and the telescopic assembly 150 are arranged on the same side of the water tank assembly 130, so that the stress points of the telescopic assembly 150, the water tank assembly 130, and the pull-down rod 170 are on the same side, making the water tank assembly 130 move more smoothly when pulled down or pushed up by the pull-down rod 170, and such an arrangement of the pull-down rod 170 and the installation groove 131 can also save space.

[0072] It should be noted that the installation height of the indoor unit 110 is generally above 1.8 meters from the ground, and it is difficult for the user to remove the water tank assembly 130 installed in the indoor unit 110 without the help of a climbing tool. In addition, in the season when humidification is required, for example, water must be added to the water tank assembly 130 almost every day in winter, which makes it very inconvenient to add water to the water tank assembly 130. In this embodiment, the water tank assembly 130 is provided with a pull-down rod 170 extending below the indoor unit 110. When the water tank assembly 130 needs to be added with water, the user can stand on the ground and pull the water tank assembly 130 down from the opening 113 through the pull-down rod. The height of the water tank assembly 130 after being pulled down is reduced, and the user can conveniently add water to the water tank assembly 130 by standing on the ground. After the water tank 134 is filled with water, the user pushes the water tank assembly 130 up through the pull-down rod 170 and installs it in the water tank installation cavity 111 through the opening 113. In the entire process of adding water, the user does not need to use climbing equipment to achieve it.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pull-down rod 170 is movably installed in the mounting groove 131, and the pull-down rod 170 can be extended and retracted relative to the water tank assembly 130. When the pull-down rod 170 is in the deployed state, the pull-down rod 170 extends downward from the bottom of the indoor unit 110, so that the user can pull down or push up the water tank assembly 130 through the pull-down rod 170. When the pull-down rod is in the retracted state, the pull-down rod is at least partially retracted in the mounting groove.

[0074] In this embodiment, the pull-down rod 170 is movably installed in the installation groove 131, so that the pull-down rod can be extended and retracted relative to the water tank assembly 130. In this way, the pull-down rod 170 can be stored in the installation groove 131 in the season when the humidification function of the air conditioner 100 is not used, thereby avoiding the pull-down rod 170 from occupying the space below the air conditioner 100. In the season when the humidification function of the air conditioner 100 is used, the pull-down rod 170 can be unfolded downward, so that the user can stand on the ground and pull down the water tank to add water to the water tank assembly 130 through the pull-down rod 170.

[0075] Generally, when the season for humidification comes, the user can use the climbing tool to unfold the pull-down rod 170, and then keep the pull-down rod 170 in the unfolded state. When the water tank assembly 130 needs to be filled with water, the user can stand on the ground and operate the water tank assembly 130 through the unfolded pull-down rod 170 to achieve the lifting of the water tank assembly 130. After the humidification season is over, the user can use the climbing tool to store the pull-down rod 170 in the installation groove 131, thereby avoiding the unfolded pull-down rod 170 from occupying the space below the indoor unit 110. Of course, the user can also keep the pull-down rod 170 in the unfolded state during use.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9In this embodiment, the telescopic assembly 150 is a telescopic rail. Generally, the telescopic rail has multiple telescopic sections, and two connected sections can be telescoped to each other. The telescopic rail can realize the lifting and lowering of the water tank assembly 130 and guide it during the lifting process, so that the water tank assembly 130 can correspond to the opening 113 during the lifting process.

[0077] In this embodiment, the lower pull rod 170 includes a U-shaped pull rod 171, a clamping assembly 172 and an unlocking assembly. The side wall of the water tank assembly 130 on which the telescopic assembly 150 is installed is provided with two mounting grooves 131. The first clamping hole 132 and the second clamping hole 133 are arranged at intervals in the height direction of the side wall of the mounting groove 131, and the first clamping hole 132 is located above the second clamping hole 133. The clamping assembly 172 is installed at the top end of the U-shaped pull rod 171, and the unlocking assembly 173 is installed at the bottom end of the U-shaped pull rod 171, and the unlocking assembly 173 is connected to the clamping assembly 172 in a transmission manner, and the unlocking assembly 173 drives the clamping assembly 172 to retract into the U-shaped pull rod 171. The two ends of the top of the U-shaped pull rod 171 are plugged into the two mounting grooves 131 one by one. When the U-shaped pull rod 171 is in the receiving state, the clamping assembly 172 is clamped in the first clamping hole 132. When the U-shaped pull rod 171 is in the unfolded state, the clamping assembly 172 is clamped in the second clamping hole 133 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the lower pull rod 170 is provided with a U-shaped pull rod 171, so that the double vertical rod structure has two connection positions with the water tank assembly 130, and the structural stability is stronger. Secondly, the provision of the clamping assembly 172 and the unlocking assembly 173 can facilitate the U-shaped pull rod 171 to maintain the expanded state or the stored state. This arrangement also allows the user to pull the water tank assembly 130 downward through the lower pull rod 170, and also facilitates the user to push the water tank assembly 130 upward. The two mounting grooves 131 for mounting the U-shaped pull rod 171 are arranged on the side wall of the water tank assembly 130 where the telescopic assembly 150 is installed. Only this side wall of the water tank assembly 130 needs to be set thicker, which saves more space.

[0079] It should be noted that when the clamping assembly 172 of the lower pull rod 170 is clamped in the second clamping hole 133, the lower pull rod 170 is in an unfolded state, and it extends to the bottom of the indoor unit 110. The length of the extended indoor unit 110 can be determined according to the installation height of the indoor unit 110. For example, 20 cm. When the clamping portion of the lower pull rod 170 is clamped in the first clamping hole 132, the lower pull rod 170 is in a retracted state. Secondly, the lower pull rod 170 is set as a U-shaped pull rod 171, which can also be used as a clothes hanger.

[0080] In this embodiment, the unlocking assembly includes a guide post 174, a locking block 175, and a first spring 176. The U-shaped pull rod 171 is provided with a hollow chamber 177. A side hole 178 communicating with the hollow chamber 177 is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped pull rod 171 near the top end. The guide post 174 is installed in the hollow chamber 177 and corresponds to the side hole 178. The locking block 175 is installed on the guide post 174, and the clamping post of the locking block 175 corresponds to the side hole 178. The first spring 176 is sleeved on the guide post 174 and abuts against the locking block 175. The first spring 176 can move the locking block 175 away from the guide post 174 so that the clamping post extends out of the side hole 178 and is clamped in the first clamping hole 132 or the second clamping hole 133. The unlocking assembly 173 includes a button part 179, a guiding part 181, and a second spring 182. The button part 179 is arranged at the bottom end of the U-shaped pull rod 171. The second spring 182 abuts against the button part 179 for resetting the button part 179. The guiding part 181 is arranged in the hollow chamber 177, and the bottom end of the guiding part 181 is connected to the button part 179, and the top end of the guiding part 181 extends to the locking block 175. A first guiding surface 183 is provided at the top end of the guiding part 181, and a second guiding surface 184 is provided on the locking block 175, and the first guiding surface 183 abuts against the second guiding surface 184. Pressing the button can compress the second spring 182 and drive the guiding part 181 to move, thereby driving the locking block 175 to move towards the guide post 174.

[0081] In this embodiment, by setting the clamping assembly 172 and the unlocking assembly 173 as the above structures, it is convenient for users to operate. When the user stores or unfolds the lower pull rod 170, they only need to operate the button, which is more convenient.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , in this embodiment, the number of the telescopic assemblies 150 is one. The bottom end of the telescopic assembly 150 is fixed between the two mounting grooves 131, and the two mounting grooves 131 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the telescopic assembly 150.

[0083] In this embodiment, the number of the telescopic assemblies 150 is set to one, and the two mounting grooves 131 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the telescopic assembly 150. In this way, the force application point of the U-shaped pull rod 171 will be on the same vertical line as the telescopic assembly 150, so as to balance the force application point and the force receiving point, reduce the force, and improve the stability of the lifting of the water tank assembly 130, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0084] In this embodiment, an assembly groove 139 is provided in the middle of the width direction of the side wall of the mounting groove 131 of the water tank assembly 130, and the lower end of the telescopic assembly 150 is installed in the assembly groove 139.

[0085] In this embodiment, an assembly groove 139 is provided to accommodate the lower end of the telescopic component 150, so that the telescopic component 150 can be installed more stably and space can be saved.

[0086] In this embodiment, the water tank assembly 130 further includes a buffer spring 195. The buffer spring 195 is disposed in the assembly groove 139 and is located between the telescopic component 150 and the side wall of the water tank assembly 130. One end of the buffer spring 195 is connected to the water tank assembly 130, and the other end is connected to the indoor unit 110.

[0087] In this embodiment, by connecting the buffer spring 195 between the water tank assembly 130 and the indoor unit 110, the buffer spring 195 can buffer the water tank assembly 130 during the descending process, so that the water tank assembly 130 descends slowly. And setting the buffer spring 195 between the telescopic component 150 in the assembly groove 139 and the side wall of the water tank assembly 130 can save space.

[0088] In some other embodiments of the present application, the number of the telescopic components 150 includes two. The two telescopic components 150 are correspondingly disposed outside the width direction of the two installation grooves 131, and the bottom ends of the two telescopic components 150 are both connected to the water tank assembly 130. The two telescopic components 150 are symmetrically arranged about the midline between the two installation grooves 131.

[0089] In this embodiment, two telescopic components 150 are provided, and the two telescopic components 150 are symmetrically arranged about the midline between the two installation grooves 131, so that the forces on the two telescopic components 150 can be relatively balanced, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0090] Of course, two equally spaced telescopic guide rails can also be provided in the space between the two installation grooves 131. That is, the two telescopic guide rails are in the area between the two installation grooves 131.
