The above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be understood as limitations on the present disclosure.

[0058] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an air conditioner top cover 10, an air conditioner shell 20 and an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner includes the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner shell 20, and the air conditioner top cover 10 is connected with the second plug-in part 230 and the second connecting part 240 of the air conditioner shell 20 through the first plug-in part 110 and the first connecting part 120, so that the disassembly and assembly of the two are more convenient, thereby improving production efficiency and user experience.

[0059] Based on this, Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the present disclosure provides an air conditioner top cover 10, an air conditioner housing 20, and an air conditioner. The inventive concept is to improve the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20, respectively. That is, by providing a first plug-in portion 110 and a first connecting portion 120 on the top cover body 100 of the air conditioner top cover 10, and providing a second plug-in portion 230 corresponding to the first plug-in portion 110 and a second connecting portion 240 corresponding to the first connecting portion 120 on the air conditioner housing 20, so as to simplify the connection between the two and facilitate assembly and disassembly. Therefore, the air conditioner top cover 10, the air conditioner housing 20, and the air conditioner including the two as independent structures are improvements under the same inventive concept and should all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0060] In order to achieve the above purpose, Figures 1 to 6As shown, in the first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an air conditioner top cover 10, comprising a top cover body 100, the top cover body 100 comprising a first plug-in portion 110 and a first connecting portion 120; the first plug-in portion 110 is used to plug and mate with the second plug-in portion 230 of the air conditioner housing 20, and the first connecting portion 120 is used to mate and connect with the second connecting portion 240 of the air conditioner housing 20 to connect the top cover to the top of the air conditioner housing 20.

[0061] Through the above technical solution, the first plug-in portion 110 of the air conditioner top cover 10 of the present disclosure can be plugged and matched with the second plug-in portion 230 of the air conditioner housing 20, and the first connecting portion 120 of the air conditioner top cover 10 can be matched and connected with the second connecting portion 240 of the air conditioner housing 20, thereby allowing the air conditioner top cover 10 to be fixedly connected to the top of the housing. Compared with the connection method using multiple screws 30 in the related art, this connection method of the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20 makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the two, improving production efficiency and user experience.

[0062] It should be noted that the shape of the top cover body 100 of the present disclosure needs to be set to match the cross-sectional shape of the air conditioner housing 20. In some embodiments, the shape of the top cover body 100 can be a "water drop" shape to improve the aesthetics.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first plug-in portion 110 is provided on the lower surface of the top cover body 100, wherein the first plug-in portion is provided on the lower surface. When the first plug-in portion 110 is plugged into and matched with the second plug-in portion 230 on the top of the air conditioner housing 20, it can be blocked by the top cover body 100, at least avoiding direct exposure of part of the connection structure, thereby further improving the overall appearance of the air conditioner.

[0064] Optionally, the first plug-in portion 110 may be configured as a limiting groove 231 and / or a limiting buckle 111; correspondingly, the second plug-in portion 230 may be configured as a limiting buckle 111 corresponding to the limiting groove 231, a limiting groove 231 corresponding to the limiting buckle 111, or a limiting buckle 111 and a limiting groove 231 corresponding to the limiting groove 231 and the limiting buckle 111. And / or, the first connecting portion 120 may be configured as a screw through hole 121, and the corresponding second connecting portion 240 may be configured as a screw hole.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first plug-in portion 110 can be constructed as one of the limiting groove 231 and the limiting buckle 111, which is arranged on the lower surface of the top cover body 100, and the second plug-in portion 230 can be constructed as the other of the limiting groove 231 and the limiting buckle 111, which can be arranged on the top of the shell, and the two are connected by installing the limiting buckle 111 in the limiting groove 231. It can be understood that the first plug-in part 110 can also be constructed as a limiting groove 231 and a limiting buckle 111, both of which are arranged on the lower surface of the top cover body 100, and the second plug-in part 230 can also be constructed as a limiting groove 231 and a limiting buckle 111, both of which can be arranged on the top of the shell, wherein the limiting groove 231 of the first plug-in part 110 cooperates with the limiting buckle 111 of the second plug-in part 230, and the limiting buckle 111 of the first plug-in part 110 cooperates with the limiting groove 231 of the second plug-in part 230. Similarly, the air conditioner top cover 10 can be connected to the air conditioner shell 20 through the limiting buckle 111 and the limiting groove 231.

[0066] In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 120 can be constructed as a screw through hole 121, which can be arranged at a position near the front end of the top cover body 100, and the first plug-in portion 110 can be arranged at a position near the rear end of the top cover body 100. The air conditioner housing 20 is provided with a second connecting portion 240 corresponding to the first connecting portion 120, and the second connecting portion 240 can be constructed as a screw hole. When the first plug-in portion 110 of the air conditioner top cover 10 is plugged into the second plug-in portion 230 of the air conditioner housing 20, a screw 30 is passed through the screw through hole 121 and installed in the screw hole, thereby fixing the air conditioner housing 20 to the air conditioner housing 20.

[0067] It is understandable that the above-mentioned first connecting portion 120 and second connecting portion 240 are exemplary, and the first connecting portion 120 and second connecting portion 240 may also be other structural forms, such as a magnetic structure, a snap-fit structure, and an adhesive structure.

[0068] In some embodiments, there are multiple first connectors 110, and each of the first connectors 110 corresponds to a second connector 230. Multiple first connectors 110 and multiple second connectors 230 can better connect the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, multiple first plug-in portions 110 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the top cover body 100. At the same time, there can be only one first connection portion 120, which is arranged near the front end of the air conditioner top cover 10, and multiple first plug-in portions 110 can be arranged at intervals gradually toward the rear end along the position near the edge, so that the air conditioner top cover 10 can be plugged into and matched with the second plug-in portion 230 of the air conditioner shell 20 through the multiple first plug-in portions 110, and the two can be reliably fixed through the connection between the first connection portion 120 and the second connection portion 240.

[0070] The size of the air conditioner top cover 10 is relatively small relative to the housing. Therefore, the air conditioner top cover 10 is usually installed on the top of the housing. Therefore, in order to facilitate the connection between the first plug-in portion 110 of the air conditioner top cover 10 and the second plug-in portion 230 of the air conditioner housing 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the first plug-in portion 110 can be configured as a limiting buckle 111, and optionally, the limiting buckle 111 is an L-shaped limiting pin 1111. The corresponding second plug-in portion 230 can be a limiting groove 231. By inserting the L-shaped limiting pin 1111 into the limiting groove 231 and then cooperating with the first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 240, the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20 are connected.

[0071] For the purpose of orientation, the first plug-in portion 110 is plugged into the second plug-in portion 230. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the L-shaped stop pin 1111 is formed with a first guide bevel 1112, which is used to guide the L-shaped stop pin 1111 to be inserted into the second plug-in portion 230. Five L-shaped stop pins are evenly arranged on the inner side of the top cover body 100, wherein the two side surfaces of the L-shaped stop pin 1111 serve as left and right stop surfaces, and at least one of the upper and lower end surfaces of the L-shaped stop pin 1111 is provided with the first guide bevel 1112, thereby forming a V-shaped guide structure or a nearly V-shaped guide structure in the vertical direction for guidance when inserted into the stop slot 231. It should be noted that the first guide bevel 1112 can also be provided on at least one side surface in the left and right directions to further provide guidance when inserted into the stop slot 231.

[0072] In order to improve the strength of the air conditioner top cover 10, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner top cover 10 may further include a reinforcing rib structure 130 disposed below the top cover body 100. The reinforcing rib structure 130 can support the top cover body 100 to improve the overall strength and rigidity of the air conditioner top cover 10. The reinforcing rib structure 130 may include ribs extending in a crisscross pattern and may be arranged in a rectangular or diamond shape.

[0073] Since the air conditioner housing 20 needs to be provided with a rotatable air deflector, a bearing structure needs to be provided on the air conditioner housing 20. In order to allow the air conditioner top cover 10 to avoid the upwardly protruding bearing structure, the reinforcing rib structure 130 can optionally further include an avoidance portion 140. The avoidance portion 140 is used to avoid the bearing structure on the air conditioner housing 20. The range of the avoidance portion is adapted to the shape of the bearing structure, and the avoidance distance of the avoidance portion 140 is set according to the protruding distance of the bearing structure. In other words, the height of the reinforcing rib structure 130 at the location of the avoidance portion 140 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0074] It should be noted that since the air conditioner is provided with an air guide plate 252 in the left and right directions respectively, namely a left air guide plate 2521 and a right air guide plate 2522, the air conditioner top cover 10 can be provided with two avoidance portions 140 in the left and right directions, one avoidance portion 140 corresponds to the bearing structure of the left air guide plate 2521, and the other avoidance portion 140 corresponds to the bearing structure of the right air guide plate 2522.

[0075] Typically, the air conditioner housing 20 includes a front shell 210 and a rear shell 220. Therefore, in order to achieve a seal between the air conditioner top cover 10 and the front shell 210 and the rear shell 220, respectively, and to ensure an aesthetically pleasing effect, in some optional embodiments, the air conditioner top cover 10 further includes an arcuate sealing rib 150 provided on the lower edge of the rear end of the top cover body 100; and the air conditioner top cover 10 further includes an arcuate supporting rib 160 provided on the lower edge of the rear end of the top cover body 100.

[0076] Among them, a half-circle or approximately half-circle arc-shaped sealing rib 150 is set on the rear side of the top cover body 100, which is used to cooperate with the side of the rear shell 220 for sealing. It should be noted that a glue port plane 151 is set on the outer side of the arc-shaped sealing rib 150, which serves as the mold injection position for glue; supporting ribs are respectively set on both sides of the front end of the top cover body 100, which are used to support and seal with the two side end faces of the front shell 210.

[0077] Optionally, a cut-angle structure 170 is formed on the side of the top cover body 100. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top cover body 100 of the present disclosure can have a "teardrop"-shaped profile, and a chamfered structure 170 is provided on the lateral edge of the top cover body 100 to increase the three-dimensional effect of the "teardrop" and enhance the aesthetic effect. A screw hole 121 with a recessed platform is provided on the front side of the large surface of the top cover. This mounting hole forms the first connecting portion 120 for assembling the screw 30 to secure the air conditioner top cover 10.

[0078] Optionally, the air conditioner top cover 10 may further include an anti-fall chain mounting hole 101. The anti-fall chain mounting hole 101 is provided on the rear side of the top cover body 100 for mounting an anti-fall chain, the other end of which is connected to a wall or other fixings to prevent the air conditioner from tipping over.

[0079] According to the second aspect of the present disclosure, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner housing 20, which includes a housing 200. The top of the housing 200 includes a second plug-in portion 230 and a second connecting portion 240. The second plug-in portion 230 is used to plug and mate with the first plug-in portion 110 of the air conditioner top cover 10, and the second connecting portion 240 is used to mate and connect with the first connecting portion 120 of the air conditioner top cover 10. The second plug-in portion 230 is used to mate with the first plug-in portion 110 of the air conditioner top cover 10, and the second connecting portion 240 is used to mate with the first connecting portion 120 of the air conditioner top cover, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the air conditioner housing 20 and the air conditioner top cover 10, facilitating a plug-in combination fixed connection, making assembly and disassembly of the two more convenient, and improving production efficiency and user experience.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second plug-in portion 230 is configured as a limiting buckle 111 and / or a limiting groove 231; accordingly, the first plug-in portion 110 can be configured as a limiting groove 231 corresponding to the limiting buckle 111, a limiting buckle 111 corresponding to the limiting groove 231, or a limiting groove 231 and a limiting buckle 111 corresponding to the limiting buckle 111 and the limiting groove 231. And / or, the second connecting portion 240 is configured as a screw hole, and the first connecting portion 120 can be configured as a screw through hole 121, and a screw 30 is passed through the screw through hole 121 and then screwed into the screw hole, thereby fixing the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20.

[0081] Optionally, there are multiple second plug-in connectors 230, and correspondingly, there are multiple first plug-in connectors 110, and the multiple second plug-in connectors 230 correspond one-to-one to the multiple first plug-in connectors 110. The multiple first plug-in connectors 110 and the multiple second plug-in connectors 230 can better achieve the connection between the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20, and improve the reliability of the connection.

[0082] like Figure 8As shown, the second plug-in portion 230 is optionally configured as a limiting groove 231, which includes a U-shaped groove body 2311 and an upper limiting rib 2312 provided on the U-shaped groove body 2311; the U-shaped groove body 2311 and the upper limiting rib 2312 enclose a limiting space. In addition, the first plug-in portion 110 is configured as an L-shaped limiting pin 1111, wherein the second plug-in portion 230 can be the limiting groove 231. By inserting the L-shaped limiting pin 1111 into the limiting groove 231, and then cooperating with the first connecting portion 120 and the second connecting portion 240 (i.e., the screw 30 passes through the screw hole 121 and is screwed into the screw hole), the air conditioner top cover 10 and the air conditioner housing 20 are fixedly connected.

[0083] To prevent the first plug-in connector 110 from shaking within the second plug-in connector 230 (i.e., the retaining groove 231), in some embodiments, the retaining groove 231 further includes a left retaining rib 2313a and a right retaining rib 2313b. The left retaining rib 2313a and the right retaining rib 2313b are respectively disposed on opposite left and right walls of the U-shaped groove 2311. When the L-shaped retaining pin 1111 of the first plug-in connector 110 is inserted into the retaining groove 231, the left retaining rib 2313a and the right retaining rib 2313b abut against opposite left and right sides of the L-shaped retaining pin 1111, thereby retaining the pin in the left and right directions and improving the stability of the connection.

[0084] To help guide the first connector 110 (e.g., the retaining clip 111 or the L-shaped retaining pin 1111) into the retaining slot 231, in some embodiments, a second guide slope 2314 is formed at the front end of the left retaining rib 2313a and / or the right retaining rib 2313b. The second guide slope 2314 can be provided at the front end of either the left retaining rib 2313a or the right retaining rib 2313b to guide one side of the first connector 110 into the retaining slot 231, thereby preventing the first connector 110 from becoming stuck and unable to enter the slot. Alternatively, the second guide slope 2314 can be provided at the front ends of both the left retaining rib 2313a and the right retaining rib 2313b to guide both sides of the first connector 110, further facilitating the insertion of the first connector 110.

[0085] The housing 200 can be constructed in any suitable manner. Optionally, the air conditioner housing 20 can include a front housing 210 and a rear housing 220 connected in the front-to-back direction; wherein at least a portion of the second plug-in portion 230 is provided on the rear housing 220, and the second connecting portion 240 is provided on the front housing 210.
