Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] Currently, some air conditioners on the market can have their surface cover components lifted up to clean the internal structure of the air conditioner.
[0003] The cover assembly of this type of air conditioner usually uses a bolt structure to lock with the middle frame or base. Before lifting the cover assembly, an additional complicated and tedious unlocking operation is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is that when the cover assembly of the existing air conditioner is lifted, an additional complicated and tedious unlocking operation is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner, which can automatically and synchronously complete the unlocking operation of the cover assembly during the process of lifting the cover assembly, saving time and effort.
[0006] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0007] An air conditioner comprises a main body and a cover assembly, wherein the main body is provided with an air duct, the cover assembly is provided with an air outlet corresponding to the air duct, and the cover assembly is covered on the main body and hinged to the main body;
[0008] The cover assembly is movably provided with a latch and a locking member, and the main body is provided with a locking end, and the locking member cooperates with the locking end; the latch is used to push the locking member to move out of cooperation with the locking end, thereby unlocking and driving the cover assembly to flip relative to the main body.
[0009] In the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when it is necessary to lift the cover assembly, a lifting force is applied to the handle. After the force is applied, the handle first pushes the locking member to move until it disengages from the locking end on the main body, thereby completing the unlocking of the cover assembly. Thereafter, the cover assembly is flipped relative to the main body, completing the lifting action. In other words, the lifting force applied to the handle pulls upward from the bottom, which simultaneously applies the initial force for flipping the cover assembly while unlocking the cover assembly, providing a thrust that makes it easier to rotate the cover assembly upward. Therefore, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention can automatically and synchronously complete the unlocking operation of the cover assembly during the process of lifting the cover assembly, saving time and effort.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, an elastic reset member is further provided on the cover assembly, and the elastic reset member is connected to the locking member to drive the locking member and the buckle to move to a reset state.
[0011] When the cover assembly is rotated to the state where it is re-covered on the main body, after the force on the buckle hand is released, the elastic reset part drives the locking part to reset and move to cooperate with the locking end, completing the re-locking of the cover assembly, and simultaneously pushing the buckle hand to move to the reset state in preparation for the next lifting operation.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the buckle and the locking member are slidably arranged on the cover assembly respectively, and the buckle is used to slide in a first direction under force to push the locking member to slide in a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction form an angle.
[0013] The first direction is the direction in which the lifting force is applied to the buckle. Under the lifting force, the buckle slides a certain distance in the first direction, pushes the locking member to slide in the second direction to the unlocked state, and then the buckle drives the cover assembly to rotate and lift up under the lifting force.
[0014] In an optional embodiment, the number of the locking members and the locking ends are both two, and the two locking members are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the buckle in the second direction, and respectively cooperate with the two locking ends, and the two locking members are used to slide in a direction away from the buckle under the push of the buckle to disengage from the two locking ends respectively.
[0015] The two locking ends are respectively located on opposite sides of the buckle in the second direction, and the two locking members are correspondingly matched with the two locking ends, thereby ensuring the reliability of the locking structure.
[0016] In an optional embodiment, the buckle has a pushing bevel, and the locking piece has a guide sliding bevel. The pushing bevel is in contact with the guide sliding bevel, and both form an angle with the first direction and the second direction. The pushing bevel is used to push the locking piece to slide through the guide sliding bevel during the sliding process of the buckle.
[0017] When the push bevel moves with the buckle hand, the guide sliding bevel is pushed, so that the guide sliding bevel slides relatively on the push bevel, thereby driving the locking member to slide in the second direction, completing the disengagement from the locking end on the main body.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, the locking member includes a sliding rod and a buckle, the sliding rod extends in the second direction and slidably cooperates with the cover assembly, the guide sliding slope is provided at an end of the sliding rod close to the buckle, and the buckle is connected to the sliding rod;
[0019] The locking end is provided with a hook, and the buckle is engaged with the hook.
[0020] In the locked state, the hook is engaged with the buckle. When a lifting force is applied to the buckle handle, the slide bar can drive the buckle to move in the second direction under the push of the buckle handle, thereby disengaging the hook provided at the locking end and unlocking the cover assembly.
[0021] In an optional embodiment, two supporting walls are provided on the cover assembly opposite to each other and spaced apart, and a guide slide hole is provided through each of the two supporting walls. The sliding rod is sleeved in the two guide slide holes, and the buckle is located between the two supporting walls and is used to move between the two supporting walls under the drive of the sliding rod.
[0022] An elastic reset member is sleeved on the slide bar, one end of the elastic reset member abuts against a side of the buckle away from the buckle hand, and the other end abuts against one of the two support walls that is further away from the buckle hand.
[0023] When the buckle handle pushes the slide bar to move in the second direction, the buckle squeezes the elastic reset member, which compresses and accumulates elastic potential energy. After the force applied to the buckle handle is removed, the elastic reset member relaxes and releases the elastic potential energy, pushing the buckle and the slide bar to return to their original position in the second direction.
[0024] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the cover assembly has a bottom panel covering the bottom surface of the main body, the buckle and the locking member are movably arranged on the bottom panel, and the locking end is arranged on the bottom surface of the main body.
[0025] The bottom panel of the cover assembly faces the ground, and the handle is set on the bottom panel to facilitate low-position operation by users.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, the buckle and the locking member are respectively slidably disposed on the bottom panel, the top of the cover assembly is hinged to the main body, and the rotation centerline of the cover assembly is horizontal;
[0027] The buckle handle is used to slide from the back to the front under the force, so as to push the locking member to slide in the left and right directions until it is disengaged from the locking end and then drives the cover shell assembly to flip upward.
[0028] Since the top of the cover assembly is hinged to the main body and the rotation center line of the cover assembly is horizontal, after the buckle is subjected to the lifting force from back to front, it first slides from back to front to push the locking part to unlock, and then drives the cover assembly to flip upward and lift up. The unlocking and lifting actions can be completed by applying the same force once, which is convenient and quick.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, a handle window is provided through the bottom panel, and slide rails extending in the front-to-rear direction are provided on the inner surface of the bottom panel on both the left and right sides of the handle window, and the handle is located on the inner side of the handle window and slidably engages with the slide rails;
[0030] There are two locking members and two locking ends, and the two locking ends are respectively located on the left and right sides of the handle window. The two locking members are respectively located on the left and right sides of the handle and slide with the inner surface of the bottom panel.
[0031] The handle window provides space for operating the handle, and the handle and the locking piece are arranged on the inner surface of the bottom panel to avoid occupying additional installation space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 The figure shows the structure of the air conditioner 10 at a first viewing angle after the cover assembly 200 is lifted up.
[0043] The air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment includes a main body 100 and a cover assembly 200. The cover assembly 200 is covered on the main body 100 and hinged to the main body 100. The rotation center line of the cover assembly 200 is horizontal and can rotate in a vertical plane relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force.
[0044] exist Figure 1 In the state shown, the air conditioner 10 can operate normally. The main body 100 is provided with an air duct, and the cover assembly 200 is provided with an air outlet 210 corresponding to the air duct. The cover assembly 200 is covered on the main body 100, covering the various internal structures of the air conditioner 10 including the fan blades, evaporator, etc.
[0045] When the internal structure of the air conditioner 10 needs to be cleaned, a force can be applied to the cover assembly 200 to rotate it upward relative to the main body 100, that is, the cover assembly 200 is lifted to expose the internal structure of the air conditioner 10. Figure 1 Switch to the status shown Figure 2 The status shown.
[0046] In this embodiment, the cover assembly 200 includes a bottom panel 220, a front panel 230, a left side panel 240 and a right side panel 250. The bottom panel 220 covers the bottom surface of the main body 100, the front panel 230 covers the front surface of the main body 100, the left side panel 240 and the right side panel 250 are arranged on the left and right sides of the main body 100 respectively, and the two ends of the bottom panel 220 and the front panel 230 are respectively connected to the left side panel 240 and the right side panel 250.
[0047] The bottom panel 220, the front panel 230, the left panel 240 and the right panel 250 together form the air outlet 210. The bottom panel 220 is located at the lower side of the air outlet 210, the front panel 230 is located at the upper side of the air outlet 210, and the left panel 240 and the right panel 250 are located at the left and right ends of the air outlet 210 respectively.
[0048] It should be noted that the orientation relationship in this embodiment is defined based on the state that the air conditioner 10 is installed on the wall. When the air conditioner 10 is installed on the wall, the side close to the ground is the bottom side, and the side away from the wall is the front side.
[0049] The main body 100 is actually composed of a middle frame and a base. The base is installed on the wall, the middle frame is covered on the base, and the cover assembly 200 covers the middle frame and the base. Figure 2 In the state shown, the air duct structure on the base is exposed, making it convenient for users to clean.
[0050] Regarding the hinged connection between the housing assembly 200 and the main body 100, in this embodiment, the top ends of the left and right panels 240 and 250 are hingedly connected to the main body 100. The top ends of the left and right panels 240 and 250 refer to the ends of the left and right panels 240 and 250 that are away from the ground. Specifically, a rotating shaft is protruded from the inner surface of each of the left and right panels 240 and 250. The two rotating shafts are coaxially arranged and are both rotatably connected to the main body 100.
[0051] It is understood that the rotating shafts provided on the left side plate 240 and the right side plate 250 are horizontally aligned. When the cover assembly 200 is subjected to force, the rotating shaft rotates, and the cover assembly 200 can rotate vertically upward, forming a gradually increasing angle space between the cover assembly 200 and the main body 100, thereby providing operating space for cleaning the internal structure of the air conditioner 10.
[0052] In order to facilitate the lifting operation of the cover assembly 200, in this embodiment, a buckle 221 is provided on the bottom panel 220 of the cover assembly 200. The buckle 221 is used to drive the cover assembly 200 to flip in the vertical plane under the force, that is, to drive the cover assembly 200 to be lifted.
[0053] On the one hand, since the bottom panel 220 is aligned with the ground, positioning the handle 221 on the bottom panel 220 facilitates low-level operation by the user, reducing the difficulty of lifting the cover assembly 200. On the other hand, since the top of the cover assembly 200 is hinged to the main body 100, positioning the handle 221 on the bottom panel 220 maximizes the lever arm and minimizes effort. Furthermore, when the user applies the lifting force with a single hand on the handle 221, the bottom panel 220, positioned between the left panel 240 and the right panel 250, ensures that the cover assembly 200 remains stable during the lifting process.
[0054] It can be seen that in this embodiment, the buckle 221 is set on the bottom panel 220 of the cover assembly 200, so that the cover assembly 200 can be lifted more conveniently and quickly, the operation process is more labor-saving, and the operation difficulty is greatly reduced.
[0055] In order to further reduce the difficulty of lifting the cover assembly 200 and make the lifting operation more labor-saving, in another embodiment, an elastic assisting member can be provided between the cover assembly 200 and the main body 100. For example, the elastic assisting member can be a torsion spring mounted on the rotating shaft to assist the lifting process of the cover assembly 200.
[0056] Preferably, in order to further improve the stability of the cover assembly 200 during the lifting process, in this embodiment, the buckle 221 is located in the middle of the bottom panel 220 in the length direction of the air outlet 210. In other words, the buckle 221 is located in the middle of the length direction of the cover assembly 200 or the bottom panel 220.
[0057] In order to prevent the setting of the handle 221 from occupying too much indoor space, in this embodiment, a handle window 222 is provided on the bottom panel 220, and the handle 221 is located in the handle window 222 and connected to the bottom panel 220. The handle window 222 provides space for the user to apply force to the handle 221, further reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 The figure shows the structure of the air conditioner 10 at a second viewing angle after the cover assembly 200 is lifted up. Figure 4 Shown Figure 3 A magnified schematic diagram of area A in the middle. Figure 5 Shown Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the enlarged area B.
[0059] In order to lock the cover assembly 200 on the main body 100 and prevent the cover assembly 200 from being accidentally lifted up, in this embodiment, a locking member 223 is also provided on the cover assembly 200, and a locking end 110 is provided on the main body 100. The locking member 223 cooperates with the locking end 110 to lock the cover assembly 200. The locking member 223 is also used to bear force to disengage from the locking end 110 to release the lock of the cover assembly 200.
[0060] Specifically, in Figure 1 In the state shown, the air conditioner 10 is operating normally, and the locking member 223 cooperates with the locking end 110 to lock the cover assembly 200 on the main body 100 to prevent the cover assembly 200 from being accidentally lifted. When the cover assembly 200 needs to be lifted, the locking member 223 is disengaged from the locking end 110 to release the lock of the cover assembly 200, and then the cover assembly 200 is lifted by the buckle 221. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The status shown.
[0061] Taking into account that performing an additional unlocking operation before lifting the cover shell assembly 200 will make the entire lifting process cumbersome and complicated, in this embodiment, the buckle 221 and the locking member 223 can be movably arranged on the bottom panel 220 of the cover shell assembly 200, and the buckle 221 cooperates with the locking member 223 to be used to push the locking member 223 to move to disengage from the locking end 110, thereby unlocking and driving the cover shell assembly 200 to flip relative to the main body 100, thereby achieving the unlocking and lifting of the cover shell assembly 200 in a single operation.
[0062] In actual use, when the cover assembly 200 needs to be lifted, the user continuously applies a lifting force to the handle 221. In the early stage of applying the force, the handle 221 moves relative to the cover assembly 200, and during the movement, the locking member 223 moves relative to the main body 100 until it disengages from the locking end 110 on the main body 100, thereby releasing the lock of the cover assembly 200. After the lock is released, the cover assembly 200 rotates upward relative to the main body 100 under the force, thereby being lifted.
[0063] It can be seen that during the entire process of lifting the cover shell assembly 200, the cover shell assembly 200 is unlocked by only applying a lifting force to the buckle 221. There is no need to perform a separate unlocking operation. The entire operation process is convenient and fast, saving time and effort.
[0064] Taking into account that when the cover assembly 200 is reset and rotated to be re-covered on the main body 100, the locking member 223 can be reset to re-match with the locking end 110, and the buckle 221 can be reset to prepare for the next application of the lifting force, in this embodiment, an elastic reset member (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the cover assembly 200, and the elastic reset member is connected to the locking member 223, and is used to drive the locking member 223 and the buckle 221 to move to the reset state.
[0065] It is understandable that in Figure 1 When a lifting force is applied to the latch handle 221 in the state shown, the latch handle 221 drives the locking member 223 to move relative to the main body 100 until it disengages from the locking end 110. During this process, the elastic return member gradually elastically deforms to accumulate elastic potential energy. Moreover, during the process of lifting the cover assembly 200, the elastic return member maintains an elastically deformed state due to the continuous force applied to the latch handle 221.
[0066] When the cover assembly 200 is reset and rotated to be re-covered on the main body 100, the force applied to the latch 221 is cancelled, the elastic reset member recovers its deformation, and the elastic potential energy is released, driving the locking member 223 to reset and move. During the movement of the locking member 223, the latch 221 is pushed to reset until the locking member 223 moves to re-engage with the locking end 110 on the main body 100 to re-lock the cover assembly 200, and the latch 221 moves to the reset state.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the buckle 221 and the locking member 223 are slidably arranged on the inner surface of the bottom panel 220 of the cover assembly 200, and the buckle 221 is used to slide in the first direction under force to push the locking member 223 to slide in the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction form an angle.
[0068] The first direction and the second direction are both straight line directions, Figure 4 The direction indicated by the X arrow is the first direction, and the direction indicated by the Y arrow is the second direction. In fact, when the air conditioner 10 is installed on a wall, the first direction is the front-back direction, and the second direction is the left-right direction.
[0069] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to lift the cover assembly 200, the user applies a force from the back to the front to the buckle 221, pushing the buckle 221 to slide from the back to the front. During this process, the buckle 221 pushes the locking piece 223 to slide in the left and right directions until it disengages from the locking end 110, and then drives the cover assembly 200 to flip upward under the force.
[0070] Please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, there are two locking members 223 and two locking ends 110. The two locking members 223 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the buckle 221 in the second direction, and cooperate with the two locking ends 110 respectively. The two locking members 223 are used to slide in the direction away from the buckle 221 under the push of the buckle 221 to disengage from the two locking ends 110 respectively.
[0071] The two locking ends 110 are actually disposed on the base of the main body 100, on opposite sides of the latch 221. The two locking members 223 are also disposed on opposite sides of the latch 221. The two locking members 223 cooperate with the two locking ends 110 to form two sets of locking structures, thereby reliably locking the housing assembly 200.
[0072] The two locking pieces 223 respectively cooperate with the two side surfaces of the buckle 221 in the left and right directions. When the buckle 221 slides from back to front, the two locking pieces 223 are pushed to slide in opposite directions in the left and right directions. It can be understood that the locking piece 223 on the left side of the buckle 221 slides to the left, and the locking piece 223 on the right side of the buckle 221 slides to the right. The two locking pieces 223 slide to disengage from their respective corresponding locking ends 110, thereby unlocking the cover assembly 200.
[0073] Regarding the sliding fit between the handle 221 and the bottom panel 220, in this embodiment, the inner surface of the bottom panel 220 is provided with slide rails 224 extending in the front-to-back direction on both the left and right sides of the handle window 222. The handle 221 is located inside the handle window 222 and slides with the slide rails 224. When a force is applied from the back to the front, the handle 221 slides from the back to the front along the two slide rails 224.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 The figure shows the structure diagram of the locking member 223 and the locking end 110. Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram showing that the locking member 223 is disengaged from the locking end 110 .
[0075] The locking member 223 includes a slide bar 2232 and a buckle 2233. The slide bar 2232 extends in the left-right direction and slides with the housing assembly 200. The buckle 2233 is connected to the slide bar 2232. The locking end 110 is provided with a hook 111, and the buckle 2233 is engaged with the hook 111.
[0076] When the cover assembly 200 is locked, the buckles 2233 of the two locking parts 223 are respectively engaged with the hooks 111 of the two locking ends 110, and the two ends of the sliding rods 2232 of the two locking parts 223 that are close to each other are respectively coordinated with the buckle hands 221. When the buckle hands 221 are forced to slide from back to front, the two sliding rods 2232 are simultaneously pushed to slide away from each other, thereby driving the two buckles 2233 to disengage from the two hooks 111 respectively.
[0077] Regarding the interaction between the slide bar 2232 and the housing assembly 200, in this embodiment, two support walls 260 are provided on the inner surface of the bottom panel 220 of the housing assembly 200, on the left and right sides of the latch 221. Furthermore, the two support walls 260, located on the same side of the latch 221, are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart in the left-right direction. Guide holes 261 are provided through each support wall 260. The slide bar 2232 is sleeved within the guide holes 261. The buckle 2233 is positioned between the two support walls 260, and is configured to move between the two support walls 260 under the drive of the slide bar 2232.
[0078] The elastic return member is actually a spring. The two springs are respectively mounted on the two slide rods 2232, and one end of the spring is pressed against the side of its corresponding buckle 2233 away from the buckle hand 221, and the other end is pressed against the one of the two corresponding support walls 260 that is farther away from the buckle hand 221.
[0079] In actual use, as the latch handle 221 slides from back to front along the slide rail 224, it pushes the two slide bars 2232 to move away from each other in the left and right directions. During this process, the two slide bars 2232 drive the two latches 2233 to move closer to the support wall 260, which is further away from the latch handle 221, thereby compressing the springs to accumulate elastic potential energy. After the latches 2233 move to disengage from the corresponding hooks 111, the cover assembly 200 is lifted. During this process, the springs remain compressed due to the continuous force applied.
[0080] When the cover assembly 200 is reset and rotated to be re-covered on the main body 100, the force applied to the latch 221 is released. At this time, the spring relaxes, pushing the corresponding latch 2233 to move closer to the latch 221, thereby driving the corresponding slide bar 2232 to move closer to the latch 221 and push the latch 221 to reset until the latch 2233 is re-engaged with the corresponding hook 111.
[0081] Regarding the coordination between the catch 221 and the locking member 223, the catch 221 is actually provided with a push inclined surface 2211 on both the left and right sides. The sliding rods 2232 of the two locking members 223 are each provided with a guide sliding inclined surface 2231 on the end close to the catch 221. The push inclined surface 2211 and the guide sliding inclined surface 2231 form an angle with the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, and the two push inclined surfaces 2211 are respectively in contact with the two guide sliding inclined surfaces 2231. When the catch 221 slides from back to front, the two push inclined surfaces 2211 on its left and right sides respectively push the two guide sliding inclined surfaces 2231 to slide, thereby driving the two sliding rods 2232 to slide left and right respectively.
[0082] After the external force is removed, the elastic reset part relaxes, and the corresponding slide rod 2232 is pushed to slide close to the buckle hand 221 through the buckle 2233. During this process, the guide sliding surface 2231 at the end of the slide rod 2232 pushes the corresponding pushing inclined surface 2211 to slide, thereby driving the buckle hand 221 to reset and slide into place.
[0083] Please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, guide slopes 112 are provided on both the hook 111 and the buckle 2233. These guide slopes 112 form angles with the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. In actual use, after the cover assembly 200 is lifted into position, an external force may be applied to the latch. In this case, the elastic return member expands, pushing the buckle 2233 toward and eventually past the corresponding hook 111 in the left-to-right direction.
[0084] Afterwards, when a force is applied to the cover assembly 200 to reset and rotate it, before it is fully rotated, the guiding slope 112 on the buckle 2233 and the guiding slope 112 on the hook 111 are in contact and slide relative to each other under the reset force, which is equivalent to the hook 111 pushing the corresponding buckle 2233 to move a certain distance away from the latch hand 221. The elastic reset member is compressed during this process. Until the hook 111 separates from the guiding slope 112 of the buckle 2233, the elastic reset member relaxes and releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the buckle 2233 toward the hook 111 until it is locked.
[0085] In summary, the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment can complete the operation of lifting the cover assembly 200 conveniently and quickly, saving time and effort.
[0086] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
