DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0040] When an air conditioner is operating at high wind speeds, the air velocity inside the air conditioner is high, and the air whistling in the chamber inside the air conditioner is severe, which causes a lot of noise. By providing a spoiler structure along the air circulation path, the airflow path within the air conditioner can be disrupted, thereby reducing the noise. However, the internal space of existing air conditioners is relatively compact, and the addition of spoilers undoubtedly increases the complexity of the overall assembly of the air conditioner, resulting in low assembly efficiency. The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner that can at least solve the above-mentioned technical problems to a certain extent. The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application has low assembly difficulty and high assembly efficiency.

[0041] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0042] See also Figures 1-12 The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner 10. The air conditioner 10 in the embodiment of the present application can be a duct unit, a wall-mounted unit, a ceiling unit, etc. The air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 10 and improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner 10 includes a shell 100, a fan 400, a heat exchanger 500 and a spoiler 300. The fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500 are arranged in the shell 100, and the shell 100 is provided with a first mounting portion 210 and a first guide portion 220; the spoiler 300 is arranged between the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500, and the spoiler 300 is provided with a second mounting portion 310 and a second guide portion 320. The second guide portion 320 can be slidably matched with the first guide portion 220, so that the second mounting portion 310 can be connected to the first mounting portion 210.

[0044] The housing 100 is the basic component of the air conditioner 10, and is used to carry the fan 400, heat exchanger 500, spoiler 300 and other structures required for the air conditioner 10 to realize its functions. The housing 100 can be the outer shell of the air conditioner 10, or it can be a structural component with load-bearing capacity inside the outer shell. The air conditioner 10 is also provided with an air outlet and an air inlet. Air enters the air conditioner 10 through the air outlet and is discharged from the air conditioner 10 through the air outlet. The heat exchanger 500 is used to exchange heat with the air in the housing 100. The fan 400 is a driving component that drives the air to flow in the housing 100. After the flowing air has undergone heat exchange with the heat exchanger 500, it is discharged from the air conditioner 10 through the air outlet, thereby realizing the temperature control function of the air conditioner 10. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The spoiler 300 is arranged between the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500. The airflow between the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500 forms turbulence after passing through the spoiler 300, and the noise generated is correspondingly reduced.

[0045] Through the sliding fit between the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320, the spoiler 300 and the housing 100 can be slidably fitted along the direction of the sliding fit of the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320. That is, before the first mounting portion 210 is connected to the second mounting portion 310, the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 are used to guide the second mounting portion 310 so that the second mounting portion 310 can move toward the first mounting portion 210 along a predetermined direction and finally be connected to the first mounting portion 210.

[0046] See also Figure 6-Figure 8 The first guide portion 220 and the second mounting portion 310 are fixed to each other, and the second guide portion 320 and the second mounting portion 310 are fixed to each other.

[0047] By providing the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320, the accuracy of the connection between the spoiler 300 and the housing 100 is improved, and the time used for connecting the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 is shortened. The efficiency of installing the spoiler 300 on the housing 100 will be significantly improved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the entire air conditioner 10; at the same time, the cooperation between the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 increases the connection points between the spoiler 300 and the housing 100, and the stability of the spoiler 300 is significantly enhanced compared to the housing 100, which can reduce the situation where the spoiler 300 is affected by high-speed airflow and produces abnormal noise.

[0048] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the shell 100 includes a middle partition 200, which is arranged between the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500, and an air outlet 230 is provided on the middle partition 200; the first mounting portion 210 and the first guide portion 220 are both arranged on the middle partition 200; the second guide portion 320 slides with the first guide portion 220 in the opposite direction of the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230.

[0049] The middle partition 200 is disposed within the air conditioner 10 and serves to divide the interior space within the housing of the air conditioner 10. The heat exchanger 500 is disposed on a first side of the middle partition 200, and the fan 400 is disposed on a second side of the middle partition 200, with the first side and the second side being located on opposite sides of the middle partition 200, respectively. The air outlet of the fan 400 is connected to the air outlet 230 of the middle partition 200. After exiting the fan 400, the air flows out of the air outlet 230 on the middle partition 200 and contacts the heat exchanger 500. The first mounting portion 210 and the first guide portion 220 are both disposed on the middle partition 200, thereby serving as a support for the spoiler 300. It is understood that the middle partition 200 also has a certain load-bearing function. The middle partition 200 may be a sheet metal component formed by cold processing such as stamping, shearing, or bending.

[0050] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second guide portion 320 slides with the first guide portion 220 in the opposite direction of the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230, that is, in the process of installing the spoiler 300 on the middle partition 200, the second guide portion 320 can slide on the first guide portion 220 in the opposite direction of the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230 or in the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230. It can be understood that when the middle partition 200 is a thin sheet metal part, the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230 is roughly perpendicular to the middle partition 200, which makes it easy to align the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320, thereby improving installation efficiency. Moreover, the heat exchanger 500 is installed in the outer shell after the spoiler 300 is installed on the middle partition 200. Only one step of installing the spoiler 300 is added, which does not affect the assembly sequence of the air conditioner 10. The shape of the spoiler 300 can be adapted to the shape of the gap between the middle partition 200 and the heat exchanger 500, which is suitable for the existing air conditioner 10 to add the spoiler 300.

[0051] Among them, see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the middle partition 200 is provided with multiple air outlets 230, and a spoiler 300 is provided between each adjacent air outlet 230 to enhance the spoiler effect. When the distance between the two adjacent air outlets 230 is large, more than two spoilers 300 can be provided between the two adjacent air outlets 230.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 are plugged into each other in a direction opposite to the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230 .

[0053] When the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 are slidably engaged in the opposite direction of the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230, the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 are also connected in the same direction, and no additional operation is required to install the spoiler 300 on the middle partition 200; and the plug-in engagement method can enable the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 to be quickly connected, and the spoiler 300 can be fixed in the air conditioner 10 without the use of additional connecting parts, thereby reducing the parts required for assembling the air conditioner 10, shortening the time required for installation, and improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0054] See also Figure 5-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 210 includes a fixing portion 211 and a third guide portion 212 both of which are arranged on the middle partition 200; the second mounting portion 310 has a mounting hole 311, and the third guide portion 212 can slide with the mounting hole 311, so that the fixing portion 211 is connected to the mounting hole 311.

[0055] It can be understood that when the mounting hole 311 is connected to the fixing portion 211, the spoiler 300 is installed on the middle partition 200. In order to facilitate the mounting hole 311 to be smoothly aligned with and connected to the fixing portion 211, a third guide portion 212 is further provided on the first mounting portion 210. When the mounting hole 311 of the third guide portion 212 slides in conjunction with the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 are also in a sliding engagement state. At this time, there are at least two contact points between the spoiler 300 and the middle partition 200. The two contact points further determine that the direction of sliding engagement between the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 is opposite to the air outlet direction of the air outlet 230 of the middle partition 200, thereby further improving the alignment accuracy between the fixing portion 211 and the mounting hole 311 and improving the installation efficiency.

[0056] Specifically, the third guide portion 212 can be a columnar or plate-shaped member protruding from the surface of the middle partition 200. A guide slope 2121 is provided at one end of the third guide portion 212 away from the middle partition 200. When the third guide portion 212 contacts the mounting hole 311, part of the hole wall of the mounting hole 311 can contact the guide slope 2121 and move along the guide slope 2121, so that the mounting hole 311 can be aligned with the fixing portion 211, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the spoiler 300.

[0057] In some embodiments, there are two third guide portions 212 , and the two third guide portions 212 are oppositely disposed on two sides of the fixing portion 211 .

[0058] The two third guide portions 212 limit the position of the mounting hole 311. As will be appreciated, contact between the mounting hole 311 and any of the third guide portions 212 guides the first mounting portion 210, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the spoiler 300. Furthermore, the two third guide portions 212, respectively disposed on either side of the fixing portion 211, provide a certain shielding effect on the fixing portion 211. This reduces the possibility of the second mounting portion 310 scraping against the fixing portion 211, thereby reducing the defective rate during assembly of the air conditioner 10.

[0059] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the fixing portion 211 includes a connecting section 2111 and a fixing section 2112, the connecting section 2111 is connected to the middle partition 200, and the fixing section 2112 is protruded from the connecting section 2111; the connecting section 2111 is passed through the mounting hole 311, and the fixing section 2112 abuts against the second mounting portion 310.

[0060] The fixing portion 211 is provided on the middle partition 200, the connecting section 2111 can be inserted into the mounting hole 311, and the fixing section 2112 can abut against the second mounting portion 310. It is understood that the fixing section 2112 is provided on the side of the connecting section 2111 away from the middle partition 200 to reserve the gap required for the connection between the connecting section 2111 and the mounting hole 311. The abutment between the fixing section 2112 and the second mounting portion 310 achieves a tight connection between the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310. The fixing section 2112 can abut against a position around the mounting hole 311 of the second mounting portion 310, or a groove can be provided in the wall of the mounting hole 311 so that the fixing section 2112 abuts against the groove.

[0061] Considering that the fixing portion 211 generally has a certain elasticity so as to be able to successfully abut against the second mounting portion 310 after undergoing a certain elastic deformation, generally, by configuring the connecting section 2111 to be a thin structure, the fixing portion 211 has a certain elasticity. Therefore, in some embodiments, a rib 2113 is further provided between the fixing portion 211 and the middle partition 200. The rib 2113 securely connects the connecting section 2111 and the middle partition 200, thereby improving the anti-extrusion capability of the fixing portion 211, reducing the probability of damage to the fixing portion 211, and facilitating repeated disassembly and assembly of the spoiler 300.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 310 further includes an anti-slip portion 330 , which is disposed on a side of the mounting hole 311 away from the spoiler 300 , and abuts against a side of the connecting section 2111 facing away from the fixing section 2112 .

[0063] When the fixing section 2112 is connected by abutting against the position around the mounting hole 311 of the second mounting part 310, an anti-slip portion 330 is provided on the second mounting part 310, and the anti-slip portion 330 is abutted against the side of the connecting section 2111 facing away from the fixing section 2112. The anti-slip portion 330 will continuously provide an external force to the fixing section 2112, so that the fixing section 2112 can maintain abutment with the second mounting part 310, thereby improving the connection tightness between the first mounting part 210 and the second mounting part 310, reducing the possibility of the spoiler 300 falling off during transportation or use of the air conditioner 10, and reducing the defective rate.

[0064] Of course, the anti-slip portion 330 also has a certain degree of elasticity, so that when removing the spoiler 300 from the middle partition 200, the operator can reduce the mutual force between the fixing section 2112 and the second mounting portion 310 by bending the anti-slip portion 330, thereby reducing the difficulty of removal.

[0065] Specifically, the anti-slip portion 330 is in the shape of a sheet, the bottom end of the anti-slip portion 330 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 310 and is located on the side of the mounting hole 311 away from the spoiler 300. The top end of the anti-slip portion 330 faces away from the second mounting portion 310, and the orthographic projection of the anti-slip portion 330 on the second mounting portion 310 falls within the mounting hole 311. When the fixing section 2112 is connected by abutting the side of the mounting hole 311 of the second mounting portion 310, the top end of the anti-slip portion 330 can abut the side wall of the fixing section 2112 to prevent the second mounting portion 310 from separating from the first mounting portion 210.

[0066] Of course, the hole wall of the mounting hole 311 at one end away from the middle partition 200 is also provided with an inclined surface 312, and the inclined surface 312 can contact the fixing section 2112, so that during the removal of the spoiler 300, the fixing section 2112 can smoothly enter the mounting hole 311 after contacting the inclined surface 312, further reducing the difficulty of removing the spoiler 300.

[0067] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 310 is plate-shaped and is disposed on one side of the spoiler 300. The second mounting portion 310 is provided with two or more mounting holes 311, and the two or more mounting holes 311 are all located on the same side of the spoiler 300, so that after the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 are connected, the spoiler 300 can be disposed closer to the air outlet 230 of the middle partition 200, and by increasing the number of the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310, the connection points between the spoiler 300 and the middle partition 200 are increased, so as to further improve the connection tightness between the spoiler 300 and the middle partition 200, reduce the possibility of the spoiler 300 falling off during transportation or use of the air conditioner 10, and reduce the defective rate.

[0068] In some embodiments, one of the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320 is a slide groove 221 and the other is a slider 321. The slider 321 can slide with the slide groove 221 so that the second mounting portion 310 can be connected to the first mounting portion 210.

[0069] When the first guide portion 220 is a slide groove, the second guide portion 320 is a slider; when the first guide portion 220 is a slider, the second guide portion 320 is a slide groove. When the slider moves relative to the slide groove, the groove wall of the slide groove can limit the slider, thereby playing a guiding role, so as to facilitate the quick connection of the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310.

[0070] See also Figure 7 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the first guide portion 220 is a slide groove 221, and the second guide portion 320 is a slider 321. The slide groove 221 has a bottom wall 2211 and a limiting surface 2212 opposite to the bottom wall 2211; the slider 321 can slide between the bottom wall 2211 and the limiting surface 2212, so that the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 are connected.

[0071] It can be understood that at this time, the slide groove 221 has at least four surfaces that can contact the limit block, that is, the width of the opening of the slide groove 221 is smaller than the width of the bottom wall 2211 of the slide groove 221, and the slider 321 has a protrusion that matches the slide groove 221, so that it is L-shaped or T-shaped. When the slider 321 moves in the slide groove 221, the protrusion 250 of the slider 321 will be restricted in the slide groove 221, so that the slider 321 can only move along the length direction of the slide groove 221 and will not separate from the slide groove 221, and the alignment accuracy of the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310 is higher.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 220 includes two limiting members 222 , and the two limiting members 222 are disposed opposite to each other to form a sliding groove 221 .

[0073] The slide groove 221 is formed by providing two limiting members 222 , both of which are L-shaped structures. Compared with the method of cutting a groove in the housing 100 , the method of providing two limiting members 222 to form the slide groove 221 is simpler and more suitable for a thinner housing 100 .

[0074] In order to quickly align the first guide portion 220 with the second guide portion 320, refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 , Question 10 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the middle partition 200 has a guide hole 240, and the spoiler 300 is provided with a guide column 340, which can slide with the guide hole 240 so that the second guide portion 320 can slide with the first guide portion 220.

[0075] When the guide post 340 is inserted into the guide hole 240 and the guide post 340 slides relative to the guide hole 240, the hole wall of the guide hole 240 will limit the guide post 340, so that the deviation between the moving direction of the guide post 340 and the axial direction of the guide hole 240 becomes smaller and smaller, the relative position between the guide post 340 and the second guide part 320 remains unchanged, and the relative position between the guide hole 240 and the first guide part 220 remains unchanged. Then it can be understood that the sliding fit between the guide post 340 and the guide hole 240 provides a pre-guide function for the sliding fit between the first guide part 220 and the second guide part 320. After the guide hole 240 and the guide post 340 are slidably fitted, it is easier to make the first guide part 220 and the second guide part 320 slideably fitted, so as to improve the alignment accuracy between the first guide part 220 and the second guide part 320 and improve the installation efficiency.

[0076] In some embodiments, the size of the end of the guide column 340 away from the spoiler 300 is smaller than the size of the end of the guide column 340 connected to the spoiler 300, so that the guide column 340 has a guide surface, allowing the guide body to be quickly inserted into the guide hole 240, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0077] Of course, in some embodiments, multiple guide holes 240 can be set on the middle partition 200 to increase the alignment accuracy of the first guide part 220 and the second guide part 320 through multi-point positioning, and improve the stability of the sliding fit between the first guide part 220 and the second guide part 320.

[0078] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the middle partition 200 has at least two mounting surfaces 251 set at an angle, and the spoiler 300 has an avoidance portion 350 on the side facing the middle partition 200, and the avoidance portion (350) is in surface contact with the mounting surface 251.

[0079] The mounting surface 251 is a surface on the middle partition 200 used to contact or connect with the spoiler 300. Specifically, by providing a protrusion 250 on the middle partition 200 that protrudes more than the middle partition 200, the middle partition 200 can have at least two mounting surfaces 251 set at an angle. The spoiler 300 has an avoidance portion 350 on the side facing the middle partition 200 that cooperates with the protrusion 250, and the avoidance portion 350 is in surface contact with the mounting surface 251 of the protrusion 250.

[0080] It can be understood that the surface morphology of the middle partition 200 provided with the protrusion 250 improves the strength of the middle partition 200. At the same time, the bearing capacity of the middle partition 200 is increased, which can provide effective support for the spoiler 300. Especially during the use of the air conditioner 10, the middle partition 200 is mostly arranged vertically, and the stress of the gravity of the spoiler 300 on the middle partition 200 is mostly concentrated on the connection between the spoiler 300 and the middle partition 200, that is, the first mounting portion 210. At this time, the protrusion 250 has at least one surface facing upward or obliquely upward. This surface contacts the avoidance portion 350 of the spoiler 300, which can provide upward support force for the spoiler 300, thereby reducing the influence of the weight of the spoiler 300 on the first mounting portion 210. The spoiler 300 has a side wall that contacts the mounting surface 251 on the protrusion 250. When the avoidance portion 350 of the spoiler 300 is matched with the mounting surface 251 on the protrusion 250, the protrusion 250 can also limit the position of the spoiler 300 and also play a pre-guiding role in the cooperation between the first guide portion 220 and the second guide portion 320.

[0081] Of course, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 210 and the first guide portion 220 can be arranged on the outer casing of the air conditioner 10. By connecting the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 310, the spoiler 300 can be located inside the air conditioner 10 and between the air outlet of the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500.

[0082] The assembly process of the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0083] After the fan 400 and the middle partition 200 are assembled in the housing of the air conditioner 10, the guide column 340 of the spoiler 300 is aligned with the guide hole 240 of the middle partition 200. The operator or the robot arm pushes the spoiler 300 toward the middle partition 200 in the opposite direction of the air outlet 230. At this time, the guide column 340 and the guide hole 240 are slidably matched. Under the interaction of the guide column 340 and the guide hole 240, the spoiler 300 will adaptively change its position relative to the middle partition 200, so that the slider 321 and the slide groove 221 are aligned. Until the slider 321 and the slide groove 221 are slidably engaged, under the joint action of the guide column 340 and the guide hole 240 and the slider 321 and the slide groove 221, the mounting hole 311 is aligned with the fixing portion 211 and the third guide portion 212. As the spoiler 300 continues to move toward the middle partition 200, the fixing section 2111 finally abuts against the mounting hole 311, thus completing the installation of the spoiler 300. Then the heat exchanger 500 is installed in the outer shell, and finally the grille is installed on the outer shell, thus completing the quick installation of the air conditioner 10.
