Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioner manufacturing, in particular to a detection device and an air conditioner thereof. Background Art

[0002] Research has revealed that the human presence detection modules currently used in air conditioners are all fixed structures, mounted directly inside the air conditioner using screws or structural components. This makes it impossible to adjust the detection area to accommodate changes in the home's layout. Detection relies entirely on the human presence detection module's own operating range. Only when a user enters the module's operating range will the human presence detection device recognize the user's information and transmit data. It then operates according to system settings, sometimes requiring the user to reach a designated area before interaction begins.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a detection device, which is applied to an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner includes an air conditioner indoor unit 1, and the air conditioner indoor unit 1 includes a panel 11. The detection device includes a mounting box 2, a telescopic component 3 and a detection swing head 5. The mounting box 2 has a through hole 21, and the telescopic component 3 can be telescopically arranged in the through hole 21. A through hole 111 is opened on the panel 11, and one end of the mounting box 2 is inserted into the through hole 111. The detection swing head 5 can be rotatably arranged at one end of the telescopic component 3 facing the through hole 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, a through hole 111 is opened on the panel 11, one end of the installation box 2 is inserted into the through hole 111, the telescopic component 3 is telescopically arranged in the through hole 21 of the installation box 2, and the detection swing head 5 is rotatably arranged at one end of the telescopic component 3 facing the through hole 111. When the telescopic component 3 moves toward the through hole 111, the detection swing head 5 can be driven to extend from the through hole 111 to the panel 11, and then the detection swing head 5 can be rotated to a suitable angle. Therefore, the detection device of this embodiment improves the detection range of the air conditioner.

[0044] The detection device of this embodiment can adjust the detection direction in multiple directions according to factors such as the user's house area, home design layout, and living habits to meet the user's usage needs.

[0045] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly 3 includes a propulsion shaft 31 and a driving member, the propulsion shaft 31 is arranged in the through hole 21, the driving member is arranged on the side of the installation box 2 away from the detection swing head 5, and the driving shaft 32 of the driving member extends into the through hole 21 to drive the propulsion shaft 31 to rotate, and a driving structure is constructed between the inner wall of the through hole 21 and the outer wall of the propulsion shaft 31 to enable the propulsion shaft 31 to move axially when the propulsion shaft 31 rotates.

[0046] In this embodiment, the propulsion shaft 31 is arranged in the through hole 21, the driving member is arranged on the side of the installation box 2 away from the detection swing head 5, and the driving shaft 32 of the driving member extends into the through hole 21. The driving member can be a motor, etc., and the propulsion shaft 31 can be driven to rotate through the driving shaft 32 when the driving member is running. Since this embodiment has a driving structure between the inner wall of the through hole 21 and the outer wall of the propulsion shaft 31 that causes the propulsion shaft 31 to move axially when the propulsion shaft 31 rotates, the structure of this embodiment enables the rotation drive component 4 to be telescopically arranged in the through hole 21 of the installation box 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the detection pendulum head 5 includes a ball head 51 and a detection part 52 connected to the ball head 51. The end of the propulsion shaft 31 away from the driving member is constructed with a spherical chamber 311 adapted to the ball head 51, and the ball head 51 is clamped in the spherical chamber 311.

[0048] In this embodiment, the detection swing head 5 is rotatably arranged at one end of the telescopic assembly 3 facing the through hole 111 by the cooperation between the ball head 51 of the detection swing head 5 and the spherical cavity 311 adapted to the propulsion shaft 31 and the ball head 51.

[0049] In some embodiments, the detection device includes a rotation drive component 4, which is rotatably arranged at one end of the mounting box 2. The telescopic component 3 drives the detection swing head 5 to extend from the through hole 111 and the rotation drive component 4 can deflect the detection swing head 5 when it rotates.

[0050] In this embodiment, by rotatably arranging a rotary drive component 4 at one end of the mounting box 2, the detection pendulum head 5 extending from the through hole 111 can be deflected when the rotary drive component 4 is rotated. Therefore, the deflection of the detection pendulum head 5 can be achieved by rotating the rotary drive component 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the detection pendulum head 5.

[0051] Specifically, the rotation drive assembly 4 can be rotated manually, or a gear groove can be added to the outside of the rotation drive assembly 4 and controlled by connecting a driving element to the gear. When the driving element receives an external signal, the driving element controls the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rotation drive assembly 4 to rotate until the set angle is reached.

[0052] In some embodiments, the rotary drive assembly 4 includes a rotating ring 41 and a toggle protrusion 42. The rotating ring 41 is rotatably arranged at the mouth of the through hole 21 away from one end of the driving member. The toggle protrusion 42 is constructed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 41. When the telescopic assembly 3 drives the detection part 52 to extend from the through hole 111, the toggle protrusion 42 is abutted against the outer wall of the detection part 52, so that the axis of the detection part 52 and the axis of the installation box 2 are at a preset angle, and the preset angle is greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0053] In this embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 4 includes a rotating ring 41 and a toggle protrusion 42. The rotating ring 41 is rotatably set at the mouth of the through hole 21 away from the end of the driving member, and the toggle protrusion 42 is constructed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 41. When the telescopic assembly 3 of this embodiment drives the detection part 52 to extend from the through hole 111, the toggle protrusion 42 can be against the outer wall of the detection part 52, so that the axis of the detection part 52 and the axis of the installation box 2 are at a preset angle, and the preset angle is greater than 0° and less than 180°. This structure realizes the deflection of the detection swing head 5, and the detection part 52 can be a cylindrical structure.

[0054] In some embodiments, the detection portion 52 can be a truncated cone structure, and the large end is connected to the ball head 51. When the telescopic component 3 drives the detection portion 52 to extend from the through hole 111, the angle between the axis of the detection portion 52 and the axis of the installation box 2 becomes larger and larger, thereby improving the detection range of the air conditioner.

[0055] In some embodiments, the rotating ring 41 is configured with a first annular protrusion 43 on the side facing the mounting box 2, and the mounting box 2 is configured with a first annular groove 22 adapted to the first annular protrusion 43 on the side facing the rotating ring 41, and the first annular groove 22 surrounds the through hole 21. In this embodiment, the first annular protrusion 43 of the rotating ring 41 and the first annular groove 22 of the mounting box 2 are matched to make the rotary drive assembly 4 and the mounting box 2 rotatable.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting box 2 is configured with a second annular protrusion on the side facing the rotating ring 41, and the rotating ring 41 is configured with a second annular groove adapted to the second annular protrusion on the side facing the mounting box 2, and the second annular protrusion surrounds the through hole 21. In this embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 4 and the mounting box 2 can be rotatably assembled through the cooperation of the second annular protrusion of the mounting box 2 and the second annular groove of the rotating ring 41.

[0057] In some embodiments, the driving structure includes an internal thread 211 constructed on the inner wall of the through hole 21 and an external thread 312 constructed on the outer wall of the propulsion shaft 31 and adapted to the internal thread 211. In this embodiment, through the cooperation between the internal thread 211 on the inner wall of the through hole 21 and the external thread 312 on the outer wall of the propulsion shaft 31 and adapted to the internal thread 211, axial movement can be generated between the propulsion shaft 31 and the installation box 2 when the propulsion shaft 31 and the installation box 2 rotate relative to each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, the propulsion shaft 31 is constructed with a mounting tube 313 at one end facing the driving member, and the driving shaft 32 is inserted into the mounting tube 313; the outer periphery of the driving shaft 32 is constructed with a first driving protrusion 321, and the mounting tube 313 is constructed with a first guide groove 3131 extending axially and adapted to the first driving protrusion 321. In this embodiment, the driving shaft 32 of the driving member drives the propulsion shaft 31 to rotate through the cooperation of the first driving protrusion 321 on the outer periphery of the driving shaft 32 and the first guide groove 3131 in the mounting tube 313.

[0059] In some embodiments, the propulsion shaft 31 is constructed with a plug-in tube 313 at one end facing the driving member, and the driving shaft 32 is inserted into the plug-in tube 313; a second driving protrusion is constructed in the plug-in tube 313, and the outer periphery of the driving shaft 32 is constructed with a second guide groove extending axially and adapted to the second driving protrusion.
