Compared with the direct connection between the traditional panel and the fuselage, the present utility model reduces the complexity of the molds of the fuselage and the panel, thereby improving the yield rate of the fuselage and the panel. The present utility model also configures a sliding member that is slidably connected to the other item, provides a locking groove adapted to the sliding member on the connecting member, and provides an entrance and exit for the locking groove to avoid the sliding member, so that the sliding member can enter the locking groove through the entrance and exit during the process of inserting the connecting member into the other item, and then can slide in the locking groove to a position away from the entrance and exit, thereby locking the connecting member and the other item together to prevent the connecting member and the other item from being accidentally separated during the transportation, handling and operation of the air conditioner. When disassembling the panel, only need to move the sliding member to a position aligned with the entrance and exit, and the connecting member can be separated from the other item, so that the panel can be separated from the fuselage. Therefore, while the panel of the present utility model can rotate relative to the fuselage, it also facilitates the disassembly of the panel.
[0017] Furthermore, by making the first direction in which the connecting member is inserted perpendicular to the second direction in which the sliding member slides, the connecting member is prevented from applying a force on the sliding member in the second direction, thereby preventing the sliding member from sliding towards the entrance and exit and sliding out of the locking groove under the action of the connecting member, ensuring the stability of the panel during use.
[0018] Furthermore, by configuring a positioning structure for the panel and making the positioning structure have an unlocking position clamping structure and a locking position clamping structure, the unlocking position clamping structure can clamp the sliding member in a position aligned with the entrance and exit, thereby allowing the sliding member to slide into and out of the locking groove; and the locking position clamping structure can clamp the sliding member in a position away from the entrance and exit, thereby preventing the sliding member from sliding into and out of the locking groove. Simply put, the unlocking position clamping structure and the locking position clamping structure can be used to position the sliding member to prevent the sliding member from sliding arbitrarily, affecting the fixing and disassembly between the connecting member and the panel.
[0019] Furthermore, by providing a stop structure between the unlocking position engaging structure and the locking position engaging structure, it is possible to prevent the engaging portion from sliding freely between the unlocking position engaging structure and the locking position engaging structure, which may affect the fixing and disassembly between the connecting member and the panel. By configuring the stop structure to allow the engaging portion to be crossed under the operation of an operator, the engaging portion can move from one of the unlocking position engaging structure and the locking position engaging structure to the other, ensuring the sliding performance of the sliding member.

[0049] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments of the present utility model. This part of the embodiments is intended to explain the technical principle of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments provided by the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts should still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0050] It should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "center", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0051] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected to" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can also be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations. For example, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected to" and "fixed", without special description, can specifically be any feasible connection forms such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, plug connection, riveting, fusion welding, snap connection, etc.
[0052] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the terms "cooling capacity" and "heat quantity" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "cooling capacity" of a certain target object (such as an evaporator, air, condenser, etc.), the lower the "heat quantity", and the lower the "cooling capacity", the higher the "heat quantity". When a certain target object absorbs "cooling capacity", it will release "heat quantity", and when it releases "cooling capacity", it will absorb "heat quantity". A certain target object stores "cooling capacity" or "heat quantity" to keep the current temperature of the target object. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon, that is, a certain target object (such as an evaporator) will absorb heat while refrigerating.
[0053] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the air conditioner 001 includes a body 100, a panel 200, a connecting member 300, and a sliding member 400. One of the body 100 and the panel 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 300. The other of the body 100 and the panel 200 is inserted into the connecting member 300 in the first direction X and is slidably connected to the sliding member 400 in the second direction Y, and the included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is greater than 0°. A locking groove 301 adapted to the sliding member 400 is provided on the connecting member 300 (as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown), and the locking groove 301 has an entrance and exit 3011 for avoiding the sliding member 400 (as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown), so that during the process of the connecting member 300 being inserted into the other item in the first direction X, the sliding member 400 enters the locking groove 301 through the entrance and exit 3011, and then the sliding member 400 slides in the locking groove 301 in the second direction Y to a position away from the entrance and exit 3011, thereby locking the connecting member 300 and the other item together through the sliding member 400.
[0054] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the present utility model, one of the fuselage 100 and the panel 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 300, and the other of the fuselage 100 and the panel 200 is inserted into the connecting member 300, so that the connecting member 300 can be used as an independent member to connect the fuselage 100 and the panel 200, and the panel 200 can rotate relative to the fuselage 100. Compared with the direct connection between the traditional panel 200 and the fuselage 100, the present utility model reduces the complexity of the molds of the fuselage 100 and the panel 200, thereby improving the yield rate of the fuselage 100 and the panel 200. The present utility model also configures a sliding member 400 that is slidably connected to the other item, sets a locking groove 301 adapted to the sliding member 400 on the connecting member 300, and sets an entrance and exit 3011 for avoiding the sliding member 400 for the locking groove 301, so that during the process of inserting the connecting member 300 into the other item, the sliding member 400 can enter the locking groove 301 through the entrance and exit 3011, and then can slide to a position away from the entrance and exit 3011 in the locking groove 301, thereby locking the connecting member 300 and the other item together, preventing the connecting member 300 and the other item from being accidentally separated during the transportation, handling, and operation of the air conditioner 001. When disassembling the panel 200, only need to move the sliding member 400 to a position aligned with the entrance and exit 3011, and the connecting member 300 can be separated from the other item, so that the panel 200 can be separated from the fuselage 100. Therefore, while the present utility model enables the panel 200 to rotate relative to the fuselage 100, it also facilitates the disassembly of the panel 200.
[0055] Further, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, so as to avoid the connecting member 300 generating a force on the sliding member 400 along the second direction Y, thereby preventing the sliding member 400 from sliding towards the entrance and exit 3011 and then sliding out of the locking groove 301 under the action of the connecting member 300, ensuring the stability of the panel 200 during use.
[0056] Of course, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also set the included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y to any other feasible value according to needs, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, 62°, etc.
[0057] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, an air return opening 101 and an air supply opening 102 located at the bottom side of the air return opening 101 are provided on the front side of the fuselage 100, and the panel 200 is used to open and block the air return opening 101.
[0058] Those skilled in the art can understand that when the panel 200 opens the air return opening 101, the air conditioner 001 can work normally, blowing air from the air supply opening 102 and sucking air from the air return opening 101.
[0059] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in some embodiments of the present invention, connecting members 300 and sliding members 400 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the bottom of the panel 200, so that when the panel 200 opens the air return opening 101, the air return opening 101 can be separated from the air supply opening 102, avoiding the air return opening 101 sucking the air blown from the air supply opening 102 and affecting the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner 001.
[0060] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, arrange the connecting members 300 and sliding members 400 on the top of the panel 200. However, in this case, the air return opening 101 may suck the air blown from the air supply opening 102, affecting the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner 001.
[0061] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, arrange the air return opening 101 on the bottom side of the air supply opening 102. And the connecting members 300 and sliding members 400 can also be arranged on the top of the panel 200.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, thanks to the fact that both the air return opening 101 and the air supply opening 102 of the air conditioner 001 are arranged on its front side, this air conditioner 001 can be embedded into the cabinet, so that the air conditioner 001 is integrated with the home environment.
[0063] Among them, the cabinet can be furniture such as a cabinet or a wardrobe that occupies a certain space, or it can be a cabinet specially configured for the air conditioner 001.
[0064] If the cabinet is a cabinet specially configured for the air conditioner 001, this cabinet needs to be fixed separately. For example, this cabinet can be placed separately on the ground or other items with a certain load-bearing capacity, or installed and fixed to the wall. And, the air conditioner 001 can be directly placed in the cabinet and can be fixedly connected to the cabinet, for example, fixedly connected together by bolts.
[0065] When the air conditioner 001 in some embodiments of the present invention can be embedded into the cabinet and the cabinet can bear the weight of the air conditioner 001, the air conditioner 001 does not need to be fixed to the wall anymore.
[0066] Of course, according to the requirements of the construction party or the user, the air conditioner 001 can also be fixed to the wall.
[0067] That is, the air conditioner 001 in some embodiments of the present utility model can be either a wall-mounted air conditioner or an embedded air conditioner.
[0068] It should be noted that Figure 1 the air conditioner 001 shown in is an indoor unit of the air conditioner, which is used to heat or cool the air in the room and is generally used together with an outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0069] Of course, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, set the air conditioner 001 of the present utility model as an all-in-one air conditioner, and arrange an evaporator and a condenser therein at the same time, and can install it at a position or area where the inside and outside of the room are connected, such as a window.
[0070] In other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, set the air return opening 101 on the top side of the body 100. When the air conditioner 001 of this form is installed, the air return effect may be affected because the air return opening 101 on the top side is too close to the bottom wall of the installation space.
[0071] For example Figure 1 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the body 100 includes a front frame 110, and the front frame 110 is arranged on one side of the body 100 close to the panel 200. And both the air return opening 101 and the air supply opening 102 are formed on the front frame 110. The connecting member 300 is also connected to the front frame 110.
[0072] For example Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the air conditioner 001 may further include a driving device 500 for driving the panel 200 to rotate, so that the air conditioner 001 can automatically open and close the panel 200, making it more intelligent.
[0073] The driving device 500 can be a linear driving device.
[0074] Exemplarily, the linear driving device 500 may include a motor fixedly connected to the front frame 110, a gear fixedly connected to the motor, and a rack slidably connected to the front frame 110. The rack meshes with the gear, and one end of the rack close to the panel 200 is slidably connected to the panel 200.
[0075] When the motor rotates forward, the rack drives the panel 200 to open.
[0076] When the motor rotates in reverse, the rack drives the panel 200 to close.
[0077] As an example 1, the slidable connection between the rack and the panel 200 can specifically be that a chute or a slide rail with a chute is provided on the panel 200, and a slider that can swing or rotate relative to the rack is installed at one end of the rack close to the panel 200, and the slider is embedded in the chute. Among them, the slide rail and the panel 200 are detachably connected by means of buckles or the like. And / or, the slider can slide out of the chute to be separated from the chute.
[0078] As an example 2, the slidable connection between the rack and the panel 200 can specifically be that a chute or a slide rail with a chute is provided on the panel 200, and one end of the rack close to the panel 200 is a spherical structure fixedly connected to the rack and cooperating with the chute. Among them, the slide rail and the panel 200 are detachably connected by means of buckles or the like. And / or, the spherical structure can slide out of the chute to be separated from the chute.
[0079] As an example 3, the slidable connection between the rack and the panel 200 can specifically be that an iron bar is provided on the panel 200, and a magnet is installed at one end of the rack close to the panel 200, and the magnet is attracted to the iron bar.
[0080] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, an avoidance hole 111 for avoiding the connection member 300 is provided on the face frame 110, a rib 112 is provided on the side of the face frame 110 away from the panel 200, and a connection hole 1121 is provided on the rib 112, so that the connection member 300 passes through the avoidance hole 111 and is rotatably connected to the face frame 110 through the connection hole 1121.
[0081] In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, omit the setting of the rib 112 and form the connection hole 1121 on the peripheral wall of the avoidance hole 111.
[0082] As Figures 9 to 12 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the panel 200 includes a plate body 210 fixedly connected or integrally formed, a fixed seat 220, and a positioning structure 230. Among them, the fixed seat 220 is provided on the plate body 210; the positioning structure 230 is provided on the fixed seat 220, and the positioning structure 230 is provided on the side of the fixed seat 220 away from the plate body 210.
[0083] Or, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, set the positioning structure 230 on the plate body 210 as well.
[0084] As Figures 10 to 12As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the fixing base 220 is provided with a slot 221 and a strip-shaped hole 222 adapted to the slot 221, so that the fixing base 220 is inserted into the connecting member 300 through the slot 221 and slidably connected to the sliding member 400 through the strip-shaped hole 222.
[0085] In addition, on the premise of ensuring that the panel 200 can be inserted together with the connecting member 300 and ensuring the sliding connection between the panel 200 and the sliding member 400, those skilled in the art can, according to needs, omit at least one of the slot 221 and the strip-shaped hole 222, or even omit the setting of the fixing base 220. Alternatively, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, change the specific form of the slot 221 and / or the strip-shaped hole 222. For example, the strip-shaped hole 222 can be changed to a sliding groove.
[0086] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning structure 230 is provided with an unlocking position clamping structure 231 and a locking position clamping structure 232.
[0087] Among them, the unlocking position clamping structure 231 is used to clamp the sliding member 400 at a position aligned with the entrance / exit 3011 to allow the sliding member 400 to slide into and out of the lock groove 301.
[0088] Among them, the locking position clamping structure 232 is used to clamp the sliding member 400 at a position away from the entrance / exit 3011 to prevent the sliding member 400 from sliding into and out of the lock groove 301.
[0089] From Figure 11 and Figure 12 it can be seen that in some embodiments of the present utility model, both the unlocking position clamping structure 231 and the locking position clamping structure 232 are set as clamping grooves and are opposite to each other to prevent the sliding member 400 from sliding out of the positioning structure 230.
[0090] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the sliding member 400 includes a sliding portion 410 adapted to the lock groove 301 and a clamping portion 420 matching the clamping groove. Among them, the sliding portion 410 is slidably inserted into the strip-shaped hole 222 and extends into the slot 221. The clamping portion 420 is substantially perpendicular to the sliding portion 410 to be adapted to the two clamping grooves.
[0091] Continuing to refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12, in some embodiments of the present utility model, a stop structure 233 is provided between the unlocking-position engaging structure 231 and the locking-position engaging structure 232 of the positioning structure 230. The stop structure 233 is used to prevent the engaging portion 420 from sliding arbitrarily between the unlocking-position engaging structure 231 and the locking-position engaging structure 232.
[0092] Furthermore, the stop structure 233 is configured to allow the engaging portion 420 to cross over under the operation of an operator, so that the engaging portion 420 moves from one of the unlocking-position engaging structure 231 and the locking-position engaging structure 232 to the other, to ensure the sliding performance of the sliding member 400.
[0093] Specifically, chamfers are provided at the edges of the stop structure 233 close to the two chutes, to facilitate the crossing-over of the engaging portion 420.
[0094] It should be noted that on the premise of being able to position the sliding member 400, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, in other embodiments of the present utility model, set the sliding member 400 and the positioning structure 230 into any other feasible forms. For example, the sliding member 400 is set as a metal member that can be magnetically attracted, or a metal member that can be magnetically attracted is provided on the sliding member 400; and magnets are respectively provided at two opposite positions on the positioning structure 230, so as to position the sliding member 400 through the attraction between the metal member and the magnet.
[0095] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the connecting member 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 rotatably connected to the fuselage 100, a plugging structure 320 plugged into the panel 200, and a connecting arm 330 connecting the rotating shaft 310 and the plugging structure 320 together. A locking groove 301 is provided on the plugging structure 320.
[0096] From Figure 11 and Figure 12 it can be seen that the rotating shaft 310 is parallel to the first direction X, so that the connecting member 300 can be detached from both the fuselage 100 and the panel 200 simultaneously towards the side away from the rotating shaft 310.
[0097] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 310 and the connecting arm 330 can be inserted into the avoiding hole 111 simultaneously, to ensure that the rotating shaft 310 is plugged into and rotatably connected to the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110.
[0098] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the connecting arm 330 is intended to have a certain distance between the rotating shaft 310 and the plugging structure 320, to ensure that the rotating shaft 310 can be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110, and to ensure the plugging of the plugging structure 320 into the panel 200.
[0099] AsFigure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the rotating shaft 310 is disposed at one end of the connecting arm 330, the plugging structure 320 is disposed at the other end of the connecting arm 330, and the connecting arm 330 is configured as a C shape, so that the structure of the connecting member 300 is more compact and interference between the connecting member 300 and the front frame 110 of the fuselage 100 is avoided.
[0100] In other embodiments of the present utility model, on the premise that the rotating shaft 310 can be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the front frame 110 and it is ensured that the plugging structure 320 is plugged with the panel 200, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, omit the setting of the connecting arm 330 and directly connect the rotating shaft 310 and the plugging structure 320 together.
[0101] Next, with reference to Figures 13 to 18 a simple description will be given of the installation and disassembly among the front frame 110, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300.
[0102] When the panel 200 needs to be disassembled, first control the driving device 500 to open the panel 200 (if there is no driving device 500, manually open the panel 200). Then, the operator moves the sliding member 400 from Figure 13 and Figure 14 the position shown to Figure 15 and Figure 16 the position shown, so that the sliding portion 410 of the sliding member 400 is aligned with the access port 3011 on the connecting member 300, and the locking of the connecting member 300 by the sliding member 400 is released. Furthermore, the operator can pull out the connecting member 300 from Figures 15 to 16 the position shown to Figure 17 and Figure 18 the position shown. During this process, the sliding portion 410 slides out of the locking groove 301 through the access port 3011. At the same time, the rotating shaft 310 of the connecting member 300 will also be pulled out from the connecting hole 1121 on the front frame 110. In this way, the disassembly of the front frame 110, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300 is realized.
[0103] When the panel 200 needs to be installed, first bring the panel 200 close to the front frame 110, and pass the connecting member 300 through the avoidance hole 111 on the front frame 110 so that the rotating shaft 310 is aligned with the connecting hole 1121. Then insert the plugging structure 320 of the connecting member 300 from Figure 17 and Figure 18 the position shown to Figures 15 to 16 the position shown. During this process, the sliding portion 410 slides into the locking groove 301 through the access port 3011. Subsequently, move the sliding member 400 from Figure 15 and Figure 16Shift the position shown to Figure 13 and Figure 14 the position shown to lock the connecting member 300. At the same time, the rotating shaft 310 of the connecting member 300 will also be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the front frame 110. Thus, the installation of the panel 200 is completed.
[0104] It should be noted that the installation and disassembly among the front frame 110, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300 are not limited to the above steps, and the operator can make appropriate adjustments according to actual needs. For example, the connecting members 300 on both sides of the panel 200 can be disassembled one by one.
[0105] In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, make the length of the rotating shaft 310 greater than the length of the plugging structure 320, so that when the plugging structure 320 is disengaged from the slot 221 on the panel 200, the rotating shaft 310 is still in the connecting hole 1121 in the front frame 110 to prevent the connecting member 300 from disengaging from the front frame 110 and falling to the ground.
[0106] Or, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, make the connecting member 300 rotatably connected to the panel 200 through the rotating shaft 310, make the connecting member 300 plugged into the front frame 110 through the plugging structure 320, and install the sliding member 400 on the front frame 110.
[0107] In summary, through the rotational connection and detachable connection design of the fuselage 100, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300, the present utility model realizes the easy rotation and quick disassembly and assembly of the panel 200, greatly improving the maintenance convenience of the air conditioner 001 and the operation experience of users.
[0108] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that the connecting member 300 of the present utility model is designed to realize the quick installation and disassembly of the panel 200. Therefore, on this basis, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, set the connecting member 300 to any feasible number, such as one, three, four, five, etc.
[0109] It should be noted that the air conditioner 001 of the present utility model further includes components such as a wind deflector 120, a heat exchanger (not shown in the figure), a blower (not shown in the figure), etc.
[0110] Among them, the wind deflector 120 is installed at the air outlet 102 to guide the direction of the wind blown out from the air outlet 102.
[0111] Among them, the heat exchanger is used to heat or cool the air in the air conditioner 001 to blow hot air or cold air. Specifically, when the air conditioner 001 is refrigerating, the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, and when the air conditioner 001 is heating, the heat exchanger is used as a condenser.
[0112] Among them, the fan is used to drive the outside air to enter the air conditioner 001 from the air return port 101 and drive the air in the air conditioner 001 to flow out to the outside.
[0113] It should be noted that since components such as the air deflector 120, heat exchanger, and fan in the air conditioner 001 are well known to those skilled in the art and are not directly related to the technical solution to be protected by the present invention, the present invention will not be described in detail herein.
