[0029] First, we will describe existing air conditioner sub-units. To humidify the air, existing sub-units typically include a water tank module. To maintain the overall appearance of the sub-unit, the water tank module is typically installed on the sub-unit's mounting base using a flush-mounted method. Once installed, the outer shell of the water tank module is smoothly connected to the mounting base frame without any protruding structures. However, this also results in the water tank module being difficult to grasp and remove. To address this issue, the present invention proposes the following implementation methods.
[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown, in order to solve the problem that the water tank module 11 of the existing air conditioner sub-unit 1 is difficult to grasp and inconvenient to take out, the air conditioner sub-unit 1 of the present invention includes a water tank module 11 and a mounting base 12, the mounting base 12 includes a mounting top plate 121, a mounting bottom plate 122 and a mounting side plate 123 arranged between the mounting top plate 121 and the mounting bottom plate 122, the water tank module 11 is installed in the space formed between the mounting top plate 121, the mounting bottom plate 122 and the mounting side plate 123, the first end of the mounting side plate 123 is provided with a first hand groove 1231, the first hand groove 1231 is provided with an opening on the side close to the first end edge of the mounting side plate 123 (that is, the side wall of the first hand groove 1231 on the side close to the first end edge of the mounting side plate 123 does not exist), the side edge of the water tank module 11 abuts against the opening on the side close to the first end edge of the mounting side plate 123, so that the user can grasp the side edge of the water tank module 11 through the first hand groove 1231. The air conditioner sub-unit 1 also includes a purification module 13, which is installed in the space formed between the mounting top plate 121, the mounting bottom plate 122 and the mounting side panel 123 of the mounting base 12, and the second end of the mounting side panel 123 is provided with a second hand groove 1232, and the second hand groove 1232 is provided in the form of an opening near the second end edge of the mounting side panel 123 (that is, the side wall of the second hand groove 1232 near the second end edge of the mounting side panel 123 does not exist), and the side of the purification module 13 abuts against the opening of the second hand groove 1232 near the second end edge of the mounting side panel 123, so that the user can grasp the side of the purification module 13 through the second hand groove 1232. The air conditioner sub-unit 1 also includes a cover 14 and a base 15. The mounting top plate 121 and the mounting bottom plate 122 of the mounting base 12 are respectively provided with fixing columns 151 / fixing holes 1221 for fixing the cover 14 and the base 15, and the corresponding cover 14 and the base 15 are provided with fixing holes 1221 / fixing columns 151.
[0031] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, the assembly process of the air conditioner sub-unit 1 of the present invention will be described. First, the mounting base 12 is placed on the base 15, and the fixing holes 1221 on the mounting bottom plate 122 are aligned with the fixing posts 151 on the base 15. The fixing posts 151 are provided with threaded holes, and the mounting base 12 and the base 15 can be assembled using screws. Then, the water tank module 11 and the purification module 13 are respectively inserted into the space formed within the mounting base 12 from the first end and the second end of the mounting side plate 123 of the mounting base 12, until the side edge of the water tank module 11 abuts the first latch groove 1231 at the first end of the mounting side plate 123, and the side edge of the purification module 13 abuts the second latch groove 1232 at the second end of the mounting side plate 123, thereby completing the assembly of the water tank module 11 and the purification module 13. Finally, the cover 14 is placed on the mounting top plate 121 of the mounting base 12, and the fixing posts 151 on the mounting top plate 121 are aligned with the fixing holes (not shown) on the cover 14. The cover 14 and the mounting base 12 are assembled using screws, thereby completing the assembly of the air conditioner slave 1. When the user needs to remove the water tank module 11, they only need to reach into the first hand grip groove 1231 to grasp the side of the water tank module 11 and easily remove the water tank module 11. This solves the problem of the water tank module 11 being difficult to grasp and remove in the existing air conditioner slave 1. Similarly, when the user needs to remove the purification module 13, they only need to reach into the second hand grip groove 1232, grasp the side of the purification module 13, and remove the purification module 13.
[0032] Further, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the openings of the first hand groove 1231 and the second hand groove 1232 are provided with rounded corners 1234. By providing the rounded corners 1234 at the openings of the first hand groove 1231 and the second hand groove 1232, on the one hand, if the rounded corners 1234 are not provided at the openings of the first hand groove 1231 and the second hand groove 1232, the edges along the openings are relatively sharp. When the user grasps the water tank module 11 and the essence module, the user's hand may accidentally hit the edges and corners, which may easily cause injury to the user's hand and reduce the user's usage experience. On the other hand, the rounded corners 1234 at the openings can also guide the user's hand when the user grasps the water tank module 11 and the purification module 13, making it easier for the user to find the position of the first hand groove 1231 and the second hand groove 1232 and grasp the water tank module 11 and the purification module 13. In addition, those skilled in the art can also change the rounded corners 1234 mentioned above into chamfers, or other common structures that can play the above-mentioned role. These changes do not exceed the technical principles of the present invention and are therefore included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] Further, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, in one possible embodiment, an air inlet 1233 is provided on the mounting side panel 123 of the mounting base 12. Since the purification module 13 of the air conditioner sub-unit 1 needs to process the air entering the sub-unit during operation, and the air intake rate of the sub-unit 1 often affects the air treatment efficiency of the sub-unit 1, existing sub-units 1 typically only have the air inlet 1233 provided on the purification module 13. Compared to the prior art, the air conditioner sub-unit 1 of the present invention further increases the air intake rate of the purification module 13 by also providing the air inlet 1233 on the mounting base 12, thereby further improving the air treatment efficiency of the sub-unit 1. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, although the above description only mentions the air inlet 1233 provided on the mounting side panel 123 of the mounting base 12, those skilled in the art may also provide the air inlet 1233 on the mounting top panel 121 and the mounting bottom panel 122 of the mounting base 12, and such variations are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Further, such as Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, a first sliding component is provided on the mounting base 12, and a second sliding component is provided at the bottom of the corresponding water tank module 11. The second sliding component can slide along the first sliding component, or the first sliding component can slide along the second sliding component. Specifically, the first sliding component is a slide 1222, and the second sliding component is a slider 111. The slide 1222 is formed by a vertically arranged first folding edge, a horizontally arranged second folding edge, and a mounting base 122. The slider 111 is in the shape of an elongated strip. The elongated slider 111 is provided at the bottom of the side of the water tank module 11. The end of the slide 1222 is provided with a first guide slope 12221. The first guide slope 12221 includes two locations, the first location is provided on the first folding edge, and the second location is provided on the second folding edge. The end of the corresponding slider 111 is provided with a second guide slope 1111. The slider 111 can slide along the slide 1222 in the slide 1222.
[0035] When adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, during the process of installing the water tank module 11 to the mounting bracket, the water tank module 11 is inserted into the space formed inside the mounting base 12 from the direction of the first end of the mounting side plate 123 of the mounting base 12, and at the same time, the long slider 111 on the water tank module 11 is aligned with the slide groove 1222 of the mounting base 12. As the water tank is pushed further into the mounting base 12, the second guide slope 1111 on the slider 111 contacts the first guide slope 12221 at the end of the slide groove 1222. Under the guidance of the first guide slope 12221 and the second guide slope 1111, the slider 111 accurately enters the slide groove 1222 and slides in the slide groove 1222, thereby realizing the installation of the water tank module 11 and the mounting base 12.
[0036] The advantages of the above arrangement are that by providing the slider 111 and the slide groove 1222 on the water tank module 11 and the mounting base 12, guidance of the water tank module 11 during installation is achieved. In addition, by providing guiding slopes on the slider 111 and the slide groove 1222, the accuracy of the installation of the water tank module 11 is further improved. Regarding the first sliding assembly and the second sliding assembly mentioned above, those skilled in the art will understand that the first sliding assembly and the second sliding assembly can also be slide rails or slide rails and sliders. In addition, the slider 111 on the water tank module 11 can also be provided on the bottom surface of the water tank module 11. These changes do not exceed the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Further, such as Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, the first sliding assembly further includes a roller 1223 . The roller 1223 is disposed on the mounting base 122 , and the water tank module 11 can roll on the roller 1223 .
[0038] The advantage of the above embodiment is that by arranging the roller 1223 on the mounting base 122, during the installation process of the water tank module 11, the water tank module 11 can roll on the roller 1223, and the friction between the water tank module 11 and the mounting base 122 is converted from sliding friction to rolling friction, thereby reducing the resistance of the water tank module 11 and making installation easier.
[0039] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiment is only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
[0040] In addition, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes the air conditioner sub-unit 1 mentioned in any of the above embodiments.
[0041] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
