[0047] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0048] Combined with Figures 1-5 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a hanging foot structure 10 for an air conditioner 40. The air conditioner 40 includes a shroud 41 and a panel 42. The panel 42 is provided with a hanging and mating portion 421. The hanging foot structure 10 includes a hanging foot main body 20 and a hanging foot main body 20.

[0049] The hanging foot main body 20 is adapted to be installed on the surrounding plate 41; the hanging part 30 is arranged on the hanging foot main body 20, and the hanging part 30 is adapted to cooperate with the hanging cooperation part 421 so that the panel 42 is pre-installed on the hanging foot structure 10.

[0050] Before installing the panel 42 to the surrounding plate 41 through components such as fasteners, the panel 42 is pre-installed on the hanging foot structure 10 by the hanging part 30 being adapted to cooperate with the hanging cooperation part 421. This can reduce the installation difficulty of the panel 42, improve the installation efficiency and safety. After pre-installing the panel 42 on the hanging foot structure 10, only one person is needed to operate to fixedly install the panel 42, which can save after-sales costs.

[0051] The hanging foot structure 10 of the air conditioner 40 is usually used to hang the air conditioner 40, and the hanging foot main body 20 is also adapted to cooperate with the hanging rod so that the air conditioner 40 is hung at a preset position.

[0052] By adopting the hanging foot structure 10 for the air conditioner 40 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by integrating the hanging part 30 into the hanging foot main body 20, the need to separately set the hanging part 30 on the surrounding plate 41 is eliminated. This can reduce the complexity of the surrounding plate 41, simplify the structural design of the surrounding plate 41, reduce the manufacturing process of the surrounding plate 41, and thus reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 40. The integrated design of the hanging foot main body 20 and the hanging part 30 enables the panel 42 to be pre-installed on the hanging foot structure 10, which can improve the load-bearing distribution of the surrounding plate 41 and avoid the hanging cooperation part 421 directly acting on the surrounding plate 41, which may cause deformation or damage to the surrounding plate 41, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure of the air conditioner 40. As a separate component provided on the surrounding plate 41, the hanging foot structure 10 setting the hanging part 30 on the hanging foot main body 20 can also improve the convenience of maintenance and replacement of the hanging part 30.

[0053] Optionally, in combination with Figures 1-3 As shown, the hanging part 30 includes a hook 31, the hook 31 is connected to the hanging foot main body 20, and a hanging space 11 is formed between the hook 31 and the hanging foot main body 20.

[0054] Adopting the form of the hook 31 to cooperate with the hanging cooperation part 421 to pre-install the panel 42 on the hanging foot structure 10 makes the pre-installation operation simpler. Through the limiting effect of the hook 31, the stability of the pre-installation of the panel 42 can also be enhanced. A hanging space 11 is formed between the hook 31 and the hanging foot main body 20, and the hanging cooperation part 421 can cooperate with the hanging part 30 in the hanging space 11, which makes the pre-installation of the panel 42 more flexible and stable.

[0055] Optionally, in combination with Figure 3As shown, the hook 31 includes a first section 311 and a second section 312. The first section 311 is connected to the hanger body 20, and the second section 312 is connected to the first section 311. A bend is formed between the first section 311 and the second section 312, and a hanging space 11 is formed among the first section 311, the second section 312 and the hanger body 20.

[0056] The bend between the first section 311 and the second section 312 of the hook 31 provides a clear guide, enabling the panel 42 of the hanging mating part 421 to be more easily inserted into the hanging space 11 along a predetermined path, simplifying the alignment and installation process of the hanging part 30 and the hanging mating part 421. The segmented design and bend structure of the hook 31 can distribute the force more reasonably, making the hook 31 more stable when bearing the weight of the panel 42.

[0057] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, the hook 31 extends away from the panel 42 relative to the hanger body 20.

[0058] The panel 42 is hung on one side of the hanger body 20. The hook 31 extends away from the panel 42 relative to the hanger body 20. The extending direction of the hook 31 is opposite to the gravity direction of the panel 42, which can provide an effective reverse supporting force for the hanging mating part 421, thus offsetting the gravity influence of the panel 42 and improving the stability.

[0059] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1 as shown, the hanger body 20 is provided with a notch 21, and the hook 31 is formed by bending outward from the notch 21. The size of the hook 31 is adapted to the size of the notch 21.

[0060] By forming the hook 31 by bending outward from the notch 21 of the hanger body 20, an integrated design of the hanger body 20 and the hook 31 is achieved, which can simplify the production and manufacturing process and improve production efficiency. The hook 31 is directly bent from the material at the notch 21 of the hanger body 20, which can also save materials and reduce production costs.

[0061] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, the hanging mating part 421 includes a flexible connecting piece 423. One end of the flexible connecting piece 423 is connected to the panel 42, and the other end is connected to the hanging part 30.

[0062] The flexible connecting piece 423 is connected between the panel 42 and the hanging part 30, which can provide a buffering and adjusting effect for the panel 42 and the hanging part 30, and absorb the impact force or vibration that may occur during the installation of the panel 42. At the same time, the length of the flexible connecting piece 423 is adjustable, and the connection length can be adjusted according to the actual installation conditions to adapt to different sizes of the panel 42 or the hanging part 30.

[0063] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, the flexible connecting member 423 is a lanyard 424.

[0064] Both ends of the lanyard 424 are respectively connected to the hanging part 30 and the panel 42, which can simplify the connection method of the pre-installation of the panel 42. The lanyard 424 has a simple structure and low cost, which can reduce the installation cost of the air conditioner 40. The easy connection and disconnection characteristics of the lanyard 424 make the operations of connecting the lanyard 424 during the pre-installation of the panel 42 and disconnecting the lanyard 424 after the installation of the panel 42 more convenient and fast.

[0065] When the hanging part 30 includes a hook 31 and the hanging cooperation part 421 includes a lanyard 424, the cooperation between the hook 31 and the lanyard 424 provides an intuitive and easy-to-operate connection method, simplifies the installation process, and reduces the installation technical requirements. The cooperation between the lanyard 424 and the lanyard 424 can provide a firm connection, which can reduce the risk of accidental loosening or falling off during use. A hanging buckle can be provided at one end of the lanyard 424, and hanging the hanging buckle on the hook 31 can achieve the cooperation between the lanyard 424 and the hook 31.

[0066] Optionally, in combination with Figure 3 as shown, the hanging part 30 is provided with a limiting protrusion 32. The limiting protrusion 32 protrudes from the hanging part 30 towards the hanging foot main body 20. A hanging space 11 is formed between the limiting protrusion 32, the hanging part 30 and the hanging foot main body 20, and there is a gap 12 between the limiting protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20. The hanging cooperation part 421 can enter the hanging space 11 from the gap 12 to cooperate with the hanging part 30; when the hanging part 30 includes a hook 31, the limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the hook 31, and the limiting protrusion 32 protrudes from the hook 31 towards the hanging foot main body 20. A hanging space 11 is formed between the limiting protrusion 32, the hook 31 and the hanging foot main body 20.

[0067] The hanging part 30 is arranged on the hanging main body. The limiting protrusion 32 is arranged on the hanging part 30 and protrudes from the hanging part 30 towards the hanging foot main body 20. A hanging space 11 is formed between the limiting protrusion 32, the hanging part 30 and the hanging foot main body 20. The hanging cooperation part 421 can enter the hanging space 11 to cooperate with the hanging part 30, so that the panel 42 is pre-installed on the hanging foot structure 10. The gap 12 between the limiting protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 provides an entrance for the hanging cooperation part 421 to enter the hanging space 11, provides a clear path for the installation of the hanging cooperation part 421, and enables the hanging cooperation part 421 to quickly and accurately enter the hanging space 11 from the gap 12 to cooperate with the hanging part 30.

[0068] The provision of the limiting protrusion 32 provides an accurate positioning function for the hanging cooperation portion 421 of the panel 42, and can limit the hanging cooperation portion 421 within the hanging space 11, preventing the hanging cooperation portion 421 from detaching from the hanging portion 30 during the installation process of the panel 42.

[0069] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, when the hanging portion 30 includes a hook 31, the limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the hook 31, and the limiting protrusion 32 protrudes from the hook 31 towards the hanging foot main body 20. A hanging space 11 is formed between the limiting protrusion 32, the hook 31 and the hanging foot main body 20. The limiting protrusion 32, the hook 31 and the hanging foot main body 20 act together to form a stable hanging space 11, which can provide better support when the panel 42 is hung and enhance the stability of the entire structure.

[0070] Optionally, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the hook 31 includes a first section 311 and a second section 312. The first section 311 is connected to the hanging foot main body 20, the second section 312 is connected to the first section 311, and a bend is formed between the first section 311 and the second section 312. A hanging space 11 is formed between the first section 311, the second section 312 and the hanging foot main body 20, and the limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the second section 312.

[0071] The bent portion provides an additional support point, making the cooperation between the hook 31 and the hanging cooperation portion 421 more stable, and avoiding or reducing the swing of the panel 42 during the hanging process after pre-installation. The limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the second section 312, limiting the hanging space 11 between the limiting protrusion 32, the second section 312, the first section 311 and the hanging main body, which can prevent the panel 42 from coming out during hanging, improve the stability of the cooperation between the hanging cooperation portion 421 and the hanging portion 30 within the hanging space 11, and thus improve the safety of installation.

[0072] Optionally, the limiting protrusion 32 is formed by stamping from the hanging portion 30 towards the hanging foot main body 20.

[0073] Manufacturing the limiting protrusion 32 by stamping process can enable the limiting protrusion 32 to be formed quickly, improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0074] Optionally, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the hanging cooperation portion 421 includes an adaptation section 422 that cooperates with the hanging portion 30, and the size of the gap 12 between the limiting protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 is smaller than the size of the adaptation section 422.

[0075] The size of the gap 12 between the limiting protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 is as shown by a in Figure 3 . The adaptation section 422 is the part of the hanging cooperation portion 421 that can enter the hanging space 11 through the gap 12.

[0076] The dimension of the gap 12 between the limit protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 is smaller than the dimension of the adaptation section 422. The adaptation section 422 can deform when passing through the gap 12, so as to smoothly enter the hanging space 11. The adaptation section 422 can restore its deformation after entering the hanging space 11. In the hanging space 11, since the dimension of the gap 12 between the limit protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 is smaller than the dimension of the adaptation section 422, it can prevent the adaptation section 422 from disengaging from the hanging space 11 through the gap 12, thereby more effectively improving the stability of the cooperation between the hanging part 30 and the hanging cooperation part 421.

[0077] The dimension of the gap 12 between the limit protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 being smaller than the dimension of the adaptation section 422 enables the adaptation section 422 of the hanging cooperation part 421 to be limited in the hanging space 11 while smoothly entering the hanging space 11. When a hanging buckle is provided at one end of the hanging rope 424, the hanging buckle is the adaptation section 422.

[0078] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the hanging part 30 is a hook 31, the hanging cooperation part 421 is a hanging rope 424, and the dimension of the gap 12 between the limit protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 is smaller than the diameter of the hanging rope 424.

[0079] The hanging foot structure 10 is installed on the enclosure panel 41. After the hanging rope 424 is hung into the hook 31, the panel 42 can be pre-installed on the enclosure panel 41. When the panel 42 is fixedly installed on the enclosure panel 41, the panel 42 needs to be moved upward toward the enclosure panel 41. The dimension of the gap 12 between the limit protrusion 32 and the hanging foot main body 20 being smaller than the diameter of the hanging rope 424 can prevent the hanging rope 424 from falling off from the hanging space 11 of the hook 31 due to the upward movement of the panel 42.

[0080] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 shown, the limit protrusion 32 includes a first guiding surface 321. The first guiding surface 321 is provided at one end of the limit protrusion 32 away from the hanging space 11, and the first guiding surface 321 is inclined toward the hanging foot main body 20 along the direction of the gap 12 toward the hanging space 11.

[0081] The direction of the gap 12 toward the hanging space 11 is as shown by the arrow direction in Figure 3 .

[0082] The first guiding surface 321 provides a clear guide for the hanging cooperation part 421 to insert into the hanging space 11, simplifying the installation process. The first guiding surface 321 is inclined toward the hanging foot main body 20 along the direction of the gap 12 toward the hanging space 11, which can guide the hanging cooperation part 421 into the hanging space 11 and improve the pre-installation efficiency of the panel 42.

[0083] Optionally, as shown inFigure 3 As shown, the limiting protrusion 32 includes a second guiding surface 322. The second guiding surface 322 is provided at one end of the limiting protrusion 32 close to the hanging space 11, and the second guiding surface 322 inclines away from the hanging foot main body 20 along the direction of the gap 12 towards the hanging space 11.

[0084] After the panel 42 is fixedly installed to the surrounding plate 41, the hanging and fitting portion 421 can be removed to avoid affecting the normal use of the air conditioner 40. When the hanging and fitting portion 421 is removed, it needs to be separated from the hanging space 11. The second guiding surface 322 provides a clear guiding for the hanging and fitting portion 421 to separate from the hanging space 11. The second guiding surface 322 inclines away from the hanging foot main body 20 along the direction of the gap 12 towards the hanging space 11, which can guide the hanging and fitting portion 421 to separate from the hanging space 11 and improve the removal efficiency of the hanging and fitting portion 421.

[0085] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hanging foot main body 20 includes a first end 24, and the first end 24 is adapted to be arranged at one end of the surrounding plate 41 close to the panel 42; wherein, the hanging portion 30 is arranged at the first end 24 of the hanging foot main body 20.

[0086] The first end 24 of the hanging foot main body 20 is adapted to be arranged at one end of the surrounding plate 41 close to the panel 42, and the hanging portion 30 is arranged at the first end 24 of the hanging foot main body 20. Such a design makes the hanging portion 30 closer to the panel 42, can reduce the distance between the hanging portion 30 and the panel 42, thereby can save the material used for the hanging and fitting portion 421, and can also improve the stability of the pre-installation of the panel 42.

[0087] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hanging foot main body 20 includes two ends oppositely arranged along the direction from the panel 42 towards the surrounding plate 41. The first end 24 of the hanging foot main body 20 is adapted to be arranged close to the panel 42, and the second end 25 of the hanging foot main body 20 is adapted to be arranged away from the panel 42; a first installation portion 22 is provided at the first end 24 of the hanging foot main body 20, a second installation portion 23 is provided at the second end 25 of the hanging foot main body 20.

[0090] Optionally, in combination with Figures 6-8 As shown, the hanging portion 30 includes a transmission member 33. The transmission member 33 is adapted to be in driving connection with the hanging cooperation portion 421, and the transmission member 33 is used to cooperate with the hanging cooperation portion 421 to drive the panel 42 to lift and lower.

[0091] Through the arrangement of the transmission member 33, it can be in driving connection with the hanging cooperation portion 421 to drive the panel 42 to lift and lower. In this way, while pre-installing the panel 42, the transmission lifting of the panel 42 can be realized, so that the operation safety can be improved and it is more labor-saving.

[0092] Optionally, in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission member 33 includes a runner 331. The runner 331 is adapted to be in driving connection with the hanging cooperation portion 421. When the runner 331 rotates, it drives the hanging cooperation portion 421 to move so as to lift and lower the panel 42.

[0093] Using the runner 331 as the transmission member 33 can make the lifting and lowering of the panel 42 more labor-saving, reduce the manual labor intensity, and improve the operation efficiency.

[0094] When the transmission member 33 includes the runner 331, the hanging cooperation portion 421 includes a hanging rope 424. One end of the hanging rope 424 is wound around the runner 331 to realize the connection with the runner 331, and the other end of the hanging rope 424 is connected to the panel 42.

[0097] Optionally, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the hanging part 30 further includes a positioning member 34. The positioning member 34 cooperates with the transmission member 33 to define the lifting position of the hanging fitting part 421 driving the panel 42.

[0098] By the combined use of the positioning member 34 and the transmission member 33, the lifting position of the hanging fitting part 421 driving the panel 42 can be accurately defined, enabling the panel 42 to stop or start accurately at the required height and improving the accuracy of operation. The combined use of the positioning member 34 and the transmission member can also enhance the stability of the hanging and prevent the panel 42 from falling.

[0099] Optionally, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, when the transmission member 33 includes a runner 331, the runner 331 is provided with a card slot 332. The positioning member 34 includes a spring piece 341. The spring piece 341 corresponds to the card slot 332, and the spring piece 341 is used to engage or disengage with the card slot 332.

[0100] When the spring piece 341 engages with the card slot 332, the runner can be stopped from rotating. When the spring piece 341 disengages from the card slot 332, the runner can continue to rotate. The spring piece 341 and the card slot 332 can achieve quick engagement or disengagement, which can improve the positioning speed of the positioning member 34 for the transmission member 33, and thus adjust the position of the panel 42 more quickly. The cooperation between the card slot 332 and the spring piece 341 can also provide accurate positioning points, enabling the transmission member 33 to accurately fix or release the hanging fitting part 421 at the required position.

[0101] Optionally, in combination Figure 8 As shown, the number of the card slots 332 is multiple. The spring piece 341 is adapted to correspond to the multiple card slots 332. When the runner 331 rotates, the spring piece 341 can engage or disengage with any one of the card slots 332.

[0102] The multiple card slots 332 and the spring piece 341 are correspondingly arranged. By rotating the runner 331, the spring piece 341 can engage or disengage with any one of the card slots 332, so that the runner can be positioned at multiple rotation angles. In this way, the runner can drive the hanging fitting part 421 to move to different positions, and thus the panel 42 can be lifted to different heights.

[0103] Optionally, the runner 331 is provided with a handle 333.

[0104] By operating the rotating wheel 331 to rotate through the handle 333, it is more convenient to grasp and rotate the rotating wheel 331, which can improve the convenience and stability of operation and is also more labor-saving.

[0105] The rotating wheel 331 can be a ratchet wheel, and a plurality of card slots 332 are circumferentially distributed along the outer edge of the ratchet wheel. The elastic piece 341 is arranged corresponding to the outer edge of the ratchet wheel. The card slot 332 is a triangular notch on the outer edge of the ratchet wheel. The cooperation between the elastic piece 341 and the card slot 332 can limit the one-way rotation of the ratchet wheel. The rotation direction of the rotating wheel 331 is as Figure 8 shown. Operating the handle 333 in the direction Figure 8 shown drives the ratchet wheel to rotate. The rotation of the ratchet wheel drives the hanging rope 424 wound around the ratchet wheel to tighten, so that the panel 42 can be lifted. The elastic piece 341 is engaged with the triangular card slot 332 of the ratchet wheel, which can stop the rotation of the ratchet wheel and prevent the ratchet wheel from rotating in the reverse direction, so as to prevent the hanging rope 424 from loosening and avoid the panel 42 from falling. When the panel 42 needs to be lowered, the elastic piece 341 can be lifted to separate the elastic piece 341 from the card slot 332. At this time, the ratchet wheel has no braking part, and the ratchet wheel can rotate in the reverse direction to drive the hanging rope 424 to loosen, so that the panel 42 can be lowered.

[0106] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, an air conditioner 40 provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a surrounding plate 41, a panel 42, and the hanging foot structure 10 for the air conditioner 40 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0107] The air conditioner 40 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the hanging foot structure 10 for the air conditioner 40 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the hanging foot structure 10 for the air conditioner 40 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0108] The hanging part 30 is arranged on the hanging main body of the hanging structure, which can reduce the production and manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 40 and also enhance the stability of the overall structure of the air conditioner 40. The cooperation between the hanging part 30 and the hanging cooperation part 421 can realize the rapid pre-installation and stable positioning of the panel 42, simplify the installation process, and improve the installation efficiency.

[0109] The hanging foot structure 10 of the air conditioner 40 is usually used to hang the air conditioner 40. The hanging foot main body 20 is adapted to cooperate with a hanging rod so that the air conditioner 40 is hung at a preset position. The preset position can be a ceiling.

[0110] Optionally, combined with Figure 4As shown, the number of the hanging foot structures 10 is multiple, and the multiple hanging foot structures 10 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the surrounding plate 41; the number of the hanging and matching parts 421 is multiple, and the multiple hanging and matching parts 421 correspond to the hanging parts 30 of the multiple hanging foot structures 10 one by one.

[0111] The multiple hanging foot structures 10 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the surrounding plate 41, and the multiple hanging foot structures 10 and the corresponding multiple hanging and matching parts 421 are respectively matched, so that when the panel 42 is pre-installed on the surrounding plate 41, it can be evenly stressed, and the panel 42 can be stably positioned on the hanging foot structures 10, thereby improving the stability of the pre-installation.

[0112] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, the number of the hanging foot structures 10 is four, and the four hanging foot structures 10 are sequentially arranged at the four corner parts of the surrounding plate 41; the number of the hanging and matching parts 421 is four, and the four hanging and matching parts 421 are correspondingly arranged around the panel 42, and the four hanging and matching parts 421 correspond to the hanging parts 30 of the four hanging foot structures 10 one by one.

[0113] The four hanging foot structures 10 are evenly distributed at the four corner parts of the surrounding plate 41, which can more evenly distribute the weight of the panel 42 and reduce local stress concentration. The symmetrical hanging layout can provide better structural stability and reduce the deformation of the surrounding plate 41 or the inclination of the panel 42 caused by uneven weight distribution.

[0114] Taking the case where the hanging part 30 is the hook 31 and the hanging and matching part 421 is the hanging rope 424 as an example for illustration. When pre-installing the panel 42, the four hanging ropes 424 on the panel 42 are respectively hung on the four hooks 31 of the hanging foot structure 10, so that the panel 42 is stably hung under the surrounding plate 41. Then, the panel 42 is fixed to the surrounding plate 41 by using screws. After the panel 42 is fixedly installed, the hanging rope 424 can be removed, which can avoid affecting the normal use and aesthetics of the air conditioner 40.

[0115] Taking the case where the hanging part 30 is the runner 331 and the hanging and matching part 421 is the hanging rope 424 as an example for illustration. The four hanging ropes 424 are distributed along the circumferential direction of the panel 42, and one ends of the four hanging ropes 424 are respectively fixedly connected to the panel 42. When pre-installing the panel 42, the other ends of the four hanging ropes 424 are respectively wound around the four runners 331 of the four hanging foot structures 10, so that the panel 42 is stably hung under the surrounding plate 41. By rotating the runner 331 to tighten the hanging rope 424, the panel 42 is lifted to approach the surrounding plate 41. Then, the panel 42 is fixed to the surrounding plate 41 by using screws. When the panel 42 needs to be cleaned or repaired, the hanging rope 424 can also be loosened by rotating the runner 331, so that the panel 42 descends, which can more conveniently clean or repair the panel 42.
