[0003] The humidification module of the air conditioner with water humidification usually needs to be filled with water. In order to facilitate users to add water, the water tank of the humidification module is usually set to a detachable structure; however, the water tank of the existing humidification module is not easy to install in place during installation, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air conditioner, which can lock the tray through the cooperation of the locking piece and the socket to ensure that the water tank is installed in place, and the installation is convenient and efficient.

[0005] The embodiment of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0007] Mounting parts;

[0008] a tray, the tray being movably mounted on the mounting member and having a socket;

[0009] a water tank, the water tank being disposed on the tray;

[0010] A locking member is provided on the mounting member, and is used to extend into the insertion hole to lock the tray, or to extend out of the insertion hole to unlock the tray.

[0011] In the above embodiment, by providing a locking member on the mounting member and a socket on the tray, the locking member extends into the socket to lock the tray when the tray drives the water tank to be installed on the mounting member, thereby ensuring that the tray and water tank can be smoothly installed in place. When the water tank needs to be removed, the locking member only needs to extend out of the socket, and the tray can be pulled to a suitable height relative to the mounting member to facilitate removal of the water tank from the tray and filling with water. Therefore, the water tank can be locked to the tray by the locking member and the socket when driven by the tray, ensuring that the water tank is installed in place, and the installation is convenient and efficient.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the tray is further provided with an abutment portion, which is used to abut against the locking member to trigger the extension and retraction of the locking member, so that the locking member extends into or out of the insertion hole.

[0013] In the above embodiment, an abutment portion is provided on the tray, so that when the user drives the tray to move relative to the mounting member, the abutment portion triggers the locking member to extend, so as to extend into the socket on the tray and be fixedly engaged with the socket; and when unlocking is required, the tray drives the abutment portion to trigger the locking member to retract, so that the locking member extends from the socket to contact the locking state of the locking member and the socket. In this case, the tray can move freely in the vertical direction under the action of external force, so that the user can pull the tray down to a suitable height to remove the water tank for water addition.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the abutting portion is provided with an abutting surface, one side of the abutting surface extends to the inside of the insertion hole, and the other side is arranged obliquely along the side wall away from the tray.

[0015] In the above embodiment, the abutment surface is disposed vertically below the insertion hole and extends obliquely vertically downward along the sidewall away from the tray. By extending the abutment surface into the insertion hole, that is, by pushing the tray upward when the locking member is inserted into the insertion hole, the abutment surface and the locking member can be brought into contact, thereby causing the locking member to retract horizontally under the action of the inclined abutment surface until the locking member transitions from an extended state to a retracted state. At this point, the locking member extends out of the insertion hole, and the tray is unlocked, allowing the user to pull the tray vertically downward.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the tray is further provided with a guide portion, and the guide portion is used to guide the locking member to move toward the insertion hole.

[0017] In the above embodiment, a guide portion is provided on the tray so that when the tray is driven to move upward to the installation position, the guide portion guides the movement of the locking member, ensuring that the locking member can be smoothly inserted into the socket along the guide path of the guide portion.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the guide portion includes two first guide segments that are spaced apart from each other, the two first guide segments are located on both sides of the insertion hole, and the distance between the two first guide segments gradually increases in a vertical direction away from the insertion hole.

[0019] In the above embodiment, the guide portion is arranged vertically above the socket, and the distance between the two first guide segments gradually increases in the direction away from the socket. In other words, the distance between the two first guide segments is large at the end away from the socket, so that when the tray is installed on the mounting member from bottom to top, it can be ensured that the locking member is between the two first guide segments, thereby playing an effective guiding role through the two first guide segments.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, ends of the two first guide segments are connected to both sides of the abutting portion, and the first guide segments are further used to guide the locking member to move toward the abutting portion.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the two first guide sections are connected to the abutment portion, so that when the push plate is pushed vertically upward to unlock, the movement direction of the locking member can be limited by the two first guide members to ensure that the locking member always maintains an abutment state with the abutment portion, thereby achieving unlocking of the locking member and the tray.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the guide portion further includes two second guide segments disposed at intervals, the two second guide segments are respectively connected to ends of the two first guide segments away from the insertion holes, and the two guide segments are disposed in parallel.

[0023] In the above embodiment, two second guide segments are further provided at the ends of the two first guide segments away from the insertion holes. The two second guide segments are arranged in parallel and both extend in a vertical upward direction, so that the guide path of the guide portion is long enough so that the tray moves under the restriction of the first guide segment and the second guide segment during the entire movement process of being installed upward to the mounting member.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member includes an end plate and a middle frame, and the end plate, the tray, and the middle frame are connected in sequence.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the tray is located at one end outside the middle frame, so that the water tank for adding water and the middle frame do not interfere with the air supply components arranged in the middle frame, and the air conditioner structure is compact.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the insertion hole is provided on at least one side of the tray, and the locking member is provided on the end plate and / or the middle frame.

[0027] In the above embodiment, a socket can be set on one side of the tray's connecting end plate, or on the side of the tray's connecting middle frame, and a locking piece can be set on the end plate or middle frame corresponding to the socket to achieve locking or unlocking of the locking piece and the socket; of course, sockets can also be set on both sides of the tray at the same time, and locking pieces can be set on the end plate and the middle frame, thereby improving the installation and locking stability of the tray and the mounting piece.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the locking member includes a body and a latching rod, the body is disposed on the mounting member, the latching rod is movably disposed on the body, and the latching rod can be extended or retracted relative to the body under force.

[0029] In the above embodiment, by fixing the main body on the mounting member, the card rod can be movably arranged on the main body, and the card rod can be extended or retracted by external force, so that the card rod can be extended into or out of the socket under the action of the abutment part, thereby realizing locking or unlocking the tray.

[0030] The air conditioner provided by the present invention has the following advantages: by providing a locking member on the mounting member and a socket on the tray, the locking member extends into the socket to lock the tray when the tray drives the water tank to be installed on the mounting member, thereby ensuring that the tray and water tank can be smoothly installed in place; and when the water tank needs to be removed, the locking member only needs to extend out of the socket to pull the tray to a suitable height relative to the mounting member, so that the water tank can be removed from the tray and filled with water. It can be seen that the air conditioner provided by the present invention has a simple structure, and the water tank can be locked to the tray by the locking member and the socket when driven by the tray, ensuring that the water tank is installed in place, making installation convenient and efficient.

[0045] As people's living standards improve, users' requirements for air conditioner functions and comfort are also constantly increasing. Therefore, more and more air conditioners are equipped with humidification functions to humidify the air in relatively dry conditions indoors, thereby improving user comfort.

[0046] The humidification module of the air conditioner with water humidification usually needs to be filled with water. In order to facilitate users to add water, the water tank of the humidification module is usually set to a detachable structure; however, the water tank of the existing humidification module is not easy to install in place during installation, which affects the user experience.

[0047] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit are usually connected by a pipe, and the indoor unit is usually a suspended indoor unit.

[0048] For details, see Figures 1 to 6 The air conditioner 10 includes a mounting member 100 , a tray 200 , a water tank 300 , and a locking member 400 .

[0049] Among them, the tray 200 can be movably set on the mounting part 100, and the tray 200 is provided with a socket 210; the water tank 300 is detachably set on the tray 200; the locking part 400 is set on the mounting part 100, and the locking part 400 is used to extend into the socket 210 to lock the tray 200, or to extend out of the socket 210 to unlock the tray 200.

[0050] First, it should be noted that the air conditioner 10 further includes a middle frame 120 and a humidification module. The tray 200 and the humidification module are disposed on the middle frame 120, and the tray 200 is slidably disposed on the middle frame 120. Therefore, when the water tank 300 needs to be removed, the user can pull down the tray 200 to a suitable height position to facilitate the user to remove the water tank 300 from the tray 200. After the user has finished adding water, it is also convenient for the user to assemble the water tank 300 onto the tray 200 and install the water tank 300 in place by pushing the tray 200 upward. After installation, the water tank 300 is connected to the humidification module to supply water to the humidification module, so that when the air supply component in the middle frame 120 blows air to the air outlet of the middle frame 120, the blown air passes through the humidification module and blows out the moisture, thereby achieving the humidification function of the air conditioner 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, by providing a locking member 400 on the mounting member 100 and providing a socket 210 on the tray 200, when the tray 200 drives the water tank 300 to be installed on the mounting member 100, the locking member 400 extends into the socket 210 to lock the tray 200, thereby ensuring that the tray 200 and the water tank 300 can be smoothly installed in place. When the water tank 300 needs to be removed, the locking member 400 only needs to extend out of the socket 210 to pull the tray 200 relative to the mounting member 100, thereby facilitating the removal of the water tank 300 from the tray 200 and adding water. It can be seen that the air conditioner 10 provided by the present invention has a simple structure. The water tank 300 can be installed in place under the drive of the tray 200 through the cooperation of the locking member 400 and the socket 210, making installation convenient and efficient.

[0052] It can be understood that the locking member 400 is an existing spring-loaded structure, that is, the locking member 400 has two states: extended and retracted. By resisting the locking member 400, the locking member 400 can be converted from the extended state to the retracted state, or from the retracted state to the extended state. The specific structure of the locking member 400 is not specifically limited here.

[0053] Furthermore, the tray 200 is further provided with an abutting portion 220 , which is used to abut against the locking member 400 to trigger the extension and retraction of the locking member 400 , so that the locking member 400 extends into or out of the insertion hole 210 .

[0054] In this embodiment, an abutment portion 220 is provided on the tray 200, so that when the user drives the tray 200 to move relative to the mounting member 100, the abutment portion 220 triggers the locking member 400 to extend, so as to extend into the socket 210 on the tray 200 and be fixedly engaged with the socket 210; and when unlocking is required, the tray 200 drives the abutment portion 220 to trigger the locking member 400 to retract, so that the locking member 400 extends from the socket 210 to contact the locking state of the locking member 400 and the socket 210. In this case, the tray 200 can move freely in the vertical direction under the action of external force, so that the user can pull the tray 200 down to a suitable height to remove the water tank 300 for adding water.

[0055] Furthermore, the abutting portion 220 is provided with an abutting surface 230 , one side of the abutting surface 230 extends to the inside of the insertion hole 210 , and the other side is inclined along the side wall away from the tray 200 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the abutting surface 230 is disposed vertically below the insertion hole 210 and extends obliquely vertically downward along the sidewall away from the tray 200. By extending the abutting surface 230 into the insertion hole 210, that is, by pushing the tray 200 upward when the locking member 400 is inserted into the insertion hole 210, the abutting surface 230 and the locking member 400 can be abutted, thereby causing the locking member 400 to retract horizontally under the action of the inclined abutting surface 230 until the locking member 400 transitions from the extended state to the retracted state. At this point, the locking member 400 extends out of the insertion hole 210, and the tray 200 is in the unlocked state. Therefore, the user can now pull the tray 200 vertically downward.

[0057] Furthermore, the tray 200 is further provided with a guide portion 240 , which is used to guide the locking member 400 to move toward the insertion hole 210 .

[0058] In this embodiment, a guide portion 240 is provided on the tray 200 so that the movement of the locking member 400 is guided by the guide portion 240 when the tray 200 is moved upward to the installation position, thereby ensuring that the locking member 400 can be smoothly inserted into the socket 210 along the guide path of the guide portion 240.

[0059] Furthermore, the guide portion 240 includes two first guide segments 241 spaced apart from each other. The two first guide segments 241 are located on both sides of the insertion hole 210 , and the distance between the two first guide segments 241 gradually increases in the vertical direction away from the insertion hole 210 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the guide portion 240 is arranged vertically above the insertion hole 210, and the distance between the two first guide segments 241 gradually increases in the direction away from the insertion hole 210. In other words, the distance between the two first guide segments 241 is large at the end away from the insertion hole 210, so that when the tray 200 is installed on the mounting member 100 from bottom to top, it can be ensured that the locking member 400 is between the two first guide segments 241, thereby playing an effective guiding role through the two first guide segments 241.

[0061] Furthermore, the ends of the two first guiding sections 241 are connected to both sides of the abutting portion 220 , and the first guiding sections 241 are also used to guide the locking member 400 to move toward the abutting portion 220 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the two first guide sections 241 are connected to the abutment portion 220, so that when the push plate is pushed vertically upward to unlock, the movement direction of the locking member 400 can be limited by the two first guide members to ensure that the locking member 400 always maintains an abutment state with the abutment portion 220, thereby achieving unlocking of the locking member 400 and the tray 200.

[0063] Furthermore, the guide portion 240 further includes two second guide segments 242 that are spaced apart from each other. The two second guide segments 242 are respectively connected to one end of the two first guide segments 241 away from the insertion hole 210 , and the two guide segments are arranged in parallel.

[0064] In this embodiment, two second guide segments 242 are further provided at the ends of the two first guide segments 241 away from the insertion hole 210. The two second guide segments 242 are arranged in parallel and both extend in a vertical upward direction, so that the guide path of the guide portion 240 is long enough, so that the tray 200 moves under the restriction of the first guide segment 241 and the second guide segment 242 during the entire movement process of being installed upward to the mounting member 100.

[0065] Furthermore, the mounting member 100 includes an end plate 110 and a middle frame 120 , and the end plate 110 , the tray 200 and the middle frame 120 are connected in sequence.

[0066] In other words, the tray 200 is located at one end outside the middle frame 120, so that the water tank 300 for adding water and the middle frame 120 and the air supply components arranged in the middle frame 120 do not interfere with each other, and the air conditioner 10 has a compact structure.

[0067] Furthermore, an insertion hole 210 is provided on at least one side of the tray 200 , and the locking member 400 is provided on the end plate 110 and / or the middle frame 120 .

[0068] In this embodiment, a socket 210 can be set on one side of the tray 200 connected to the end plate 110, or a socket 210 can be set on the side of the tray 200 connected to the middle frame 120, and a locking piece 400 can be set on the end plate 110 or the middle frame 120 corresponding to the socket 210, so as to achieve locking or unlocking of the locking piece 400 and the socket 210; of course, sockets 210 can also be set on both sides of the tray 200 at the same time, and the locking piece 400 can be set on the end plate 110 and the middle frame 120, so as to improve the installation and locking stability of the tray 200 and the mounting piece 100.

[0069] Furthermore, the locking member 400 includes a body 410 and a lever 420 . The body 410 is disposed on the mounting member 100 . The lever 420 is movably disposed on the body 410 . The lever 420 can be extended or retracted relative to the body 410 under force.

[0070] In this embodiment, by fixedly installing the main body 410 on the mounting member 100, the card rod 420 can be movably set on the main body 410, and the card rod 420 can be extended or retracted by external force, so that the card rod 420 can extend into the socket 210 or extend out of the socket 210 under the action of the abutment portion 220, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking of the tray 200.

[0071] In summary, the present invention provides an air conditioner 10. By providing a locking member 400 on the mounting member 100 and providing a socket 210 on the tray 200, when the tray 200 drives the water tank 300 to be installed on the mounting member 100, the locking member 400 extends into the socket 210 to lock the tray 200, thereby ensuring that the tray 200 and the water tank 300 can be smoothly installed in place. When the water tank 300 needs to be removed, the locking member 400 only needs to extend out of the socket 210 to pull the tray 200 relative to the mounting member 100, thereby facilitating the removal of the water tank 300 from the tray 200 and the addition of water. It can be seen that the air conditioner 10 provided by the present invention has a simple structure. The water tank 300 can be installed in place under the drive of the tray 200 through the cooperation of the locking member 400 and the socket 210, making installation convenient and efficient.

[0072] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
