Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioning, and specifically provides an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Existing air conditioners generally have a panel, which can not only beautify the appearance of the air conditioner, but also allow users to clean the filter inside the air conditioner or disinfect the interior of the air conditioner by opening the panel.

[0003] However, after the panel of the existing air conditioner is opened, the operating space provided to the user is limited. Therefore, when the air conditioner is deep cleaned or deep sterilized, it is often necessary to disassemble the entire panel to provide more operating space for the user.

[0004] However, the panel of the existing air conditioner is difficult to disassemble and often requires professional personnel and tools such as screwdrivers to disassemble it, which is not only expensive but also inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] One purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the panel of the existing air conditioner is difficult to disassemble.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0007] body;

[0008] panel;

[0009] a connecting member, wherein one of the body and the panel is rotatably connected to the connecting member, and the other of the body and the panel is plugged into the connecting member;

[0010] a first magnetic attraction member, disposed on the other item;

[0011] The second magnetic attraction member is provided on the connecting member so as to be attracted together with the first magnetic attraction member after the connecting member and the other item are plugged together, thereby fixing the connecting member to the other item by magnetic attraction.

[0012] Optionally, the connecting member includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the fuselage and a plug-in structure plugged into the panel; the panel includes a plate body and a fixing seat arranged on the plate body, and the fixing seat is provided with a slot adapted to the plug-in structure; the first magnetic member is fixedly connected to the fixing seat or is made as one piece, and the second magnetic member is fixedly connected to the plug-in structure or is made as one piece.

[0013] Optionally, a fixing groove is provided on the fixing seat, and the first magnetic attraction component is a metal sheet or metal strip inserted into the fixing groove; a receiving groove is provided on the plug-in structure, and the second magnetic attraction component is a magnet installed in the receiving groove.

[0014] Optionally, the first magnetic member is arranged on a side of the slot away from the plug-in structure; and the second magnetic member is arranged on an end of the plug-in structure inserted into the slot.

[0015] Optionally, a portion of the first magnetic member is exposed in the slot, so that the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member abut against each other under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0016] Optionally, at least one of the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member is configured to be floatable or deformable to ensure that the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member abut against each other under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0017] Optionally, at least one of the two ends of the first magnetic member in the length direction is slidably connected to the fixing slot, so that the portion of the first magnetic member exposed in the slot can be attracted and deformed by the second magnetic member and move to a position abutting the second magnetic member.

[0018] Optionally, the connecting member also includes a connecting arm located between the rotating shaft and the plug-in structure; and / or, the fuselage includes a face frame, which is arranged on a side of the fuselage close to the panel; the face frame is provided with an avoidance hole for avoiding the connecting arm and the rotating shaft, and the face frame is provided with a rib on a side away from the panel, and the connecting hole is provided on the rib; and / or, the direction in which the plug-in structure is inserted into the slot is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft, so that the connecting member can be removed from the fuselage and the panel at the same time toward the side away from the rotating shaft.

[0019] Optionally, the connecting members are respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the panel; and / or, a return air outlet and an air supply outlet located at the bottom side of the return air outlet are provided on the front side of the fuselage, and the panel is used to open and cover the return air outlet; and / or, the air conditioner also includes a driving device for driving the panel to rotate.

[0020] Optionally, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner, a built-in air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.

[0021] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of the present invention, by rotatably connecting one of the fuselage and the panel with the connecting member, the other of the fuselage and the panel is plugged into the connecting member, so that the connecting member can be used as an independent member to connect the fuselage and the panel, and the panel can be rotated relative to the fuselage. Compared with the traditional direct connection between the panel and the fuselage, the present invention reduces the complexity of the mold of the fuselage and the panel, thereby improving the yield rate of the fuselage and the panel. By providing a first magnetic attraction member on the other item, providing a second magnetic attraction member on the connecting member, and making the second magnetic attraction member attract together with the first magnetic attraction member after the connecting member and the other item are plugged together, the connecting member can be fixed to the other item by magnetic attraction.

[0022] That is, the present invention secures the connecting member to the other item through the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic members, combined with the plug-in connection between the connecting member and the other item. Furthermore, this connection method not only facilitates installation but also removal of the connecting member from the other item, making operation much simpler. Therefore, while enabling the panel to rotate relative to the body, the present invention also facilitates removal of the panel.

[0023] Furthermore, by providing a fixing slot in the panel's mounting base and configuring the first magnetic member as a metal sheet or strip that inserts into the fixing slot, installation of the first magnetic member is facilitated, and the space occupied by the first magnetic member is also reduced. By providing a receiving slot in the plug-in structure and configuring the second magnetic member as a magnet that fits into the receiving slot, the second magnetic member can be protected to a certain extent, preventing damage or loosening due to external forces.

[0024] Furthermore, by positioning the first magnetic member on the side of the slot away from the plug-in structure and the second magnetic member on the end where the plug-in structure is inserted into the slot, the first and second magnetic members are attracted together after the plug-in structure is inserted into the slot on the panel. Furthermore, when the operator pulls the plug-in structure a short distance from the slot on the panel, the magnetic attraction between the second and first magnetic members is sharply reduced, facilitating the operator's removal of the connecting member.

[0025] Furthermore, by setting at least one of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component to be floatable or deformable, it is ensured that the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component abut each other under the action of magnetic attraction, so that there can be a smaller gap between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component (if there is no magnetic attraction), thereby reducing the processing requirements for the panel, connecting component, first magnet and second magnet, thereby reducing production costs.

[0026] Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand the improved purposes, features and advantages of the present invention.

[0049] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element described must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a communication between the two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. For example, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", and "fix", unless otherwise specified, can specifically refer to any feasible connection form such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, plug-in connection, riveting, welding, and clamping.

[0052] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "cold" and "heat" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "cold" of a certain target object (such as an evaporator, air, condenser, etc.), the lower the "heat" it has, and the lower the "cold" it has, the higher the "heat" it has. When a certain target object absorbs "cold", it will release "heat", and when it releases "cold", it will absorb "heat". A certain target object stores "cold" or "heat" in order to maintain the current temperature of the target object. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon, that is, a certain target object (such as an evaporator) will absorb heat while cooling.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an air conditioner 001 includes a body 100, a panel 200, a connecting member 300, a first magnetic member 410, and a second magnetic member 420. One of the body 100 and the panel 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 300, and the other of the body 100 and the panel 200 is plugged into the connecting member 300. The first magnetic member 410 is disposed on the other. The second magnetic member 420 is disposed on the connecting member 300 so as to attract the first magnetic member 410 after the connecting member 300 and the other are plugged into each other, thereby magnetically securing the connecting member 300 to the other.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention pivotally connects one of the body 100 and the panel 200 with the connecting member 300, allowing the other to plug into the connecting member 300. This allows the connecting member 300 to function as a separate component, connecting the body 100 and the panel 200 and enabling the panel 200 to rotate relative to the body 100. Compared to conventional direct connections between the panel 200 and the body 100, the present invention reduces the complexity of the molds for the body 100 and the panel 200, thereby improving the yield rate of the body 100 and the panel 200. By providing a first magnetic member 410 on the other component and a second magnetic member 420 on the connecting member 300, the second magnetic member 420 engages with the first magnetic member 410 after the connecting member 300 and the other component are plugged together, thereby enabling the connecting member 300 to be magnetically secured to the other component.

[0055] That is, the present invention secures the connecting member 300 to the other item through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420, combined with the plug-in connection between the connecting member 300 and the other item. Furthermore, this connection method between the connecting member 300 and the other item not only facilitates installation but also removal of the connecting member 300 from the other item, making operation much simpler. Therefore, while enabling the panel 200 to rotate relative to the body 100, the present invention also facilitates removal of the panel 200.

[0056] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, a return air vent 101 and an air supply vent 102 located at the bottom of the return air vent 101 are provided on the front side of the fuselage 100 , and the panel 200 is used to open and cover the return air vent 101 .

[0057] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the panel 200 opens the return air vent 101 , the air conditioner 001 can operate normally, blowing air from the air supply vent 102 and sucking air from the return air vent 101 .

[0058] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, connecting components 300 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the panel 200, so that when the return air outlet 101 is opened, the panel 200 can separate the return air outlet 101 from the supply air outlet 102, thereby preventing the return air outlet 101 from attracting the air blown out from the supply air outlet 102 and affecting the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner 001.

[0059] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, set the connecting member 300 on the top of the panel 200. However, in this case, the return air vent 101 may attract the air blown out from the air supply vent 102, affecting the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner 001.

[0060] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also dispose the return air vent 101 at the bottom side of the supply air vent 102 as needed, and may also dispose the connecting member 300 at the top of the panel 200 .

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, since the return air outlet 101 and the supply air outlet 102 of the air conditioner 001 are both arranged on the front side thereof, the air conditioner 001 can be embedded in a cabinet so that the air conditioner 001 is integrated with the home environment.

[0062] The cabinet body may be furniture such as a cupboard or a wardrobe that occupies a certain space, or it may be a cabinet body configured solely for the air conditioner 001 .

[0063] If the cabinet is configured solely for the air conditioner 001, the cabinet needs to be secured separately. For example, the cabinet can be placed separately on the ground or other objects with a certain load-bearing capacity, or mounted and secured to a wall. Furthermore, the air conditioner 001 can be placed directly within the cabinet and fixedly connected to the cabinet, for example, by bolts.

[0064] When the air conditioner 001 in some embodiments of the present invention can be embedded in a cabinet, and the cabinet can bear the weight of the air conditioner 001, the air conditioner 001 does not need to be fixed to the wall.

[0065] Of course, the air conditioner 001 can also be fixed to the wall according to the requirements of the construction party or the user.

[0066] That is, the air conditioner 001 in some embodiments of the present invention can be either a wall-mounted air conditioner or a built-in air conditioner.

[0067] It should be noted that Figure 1 The air conditioner 001 shown in FIG is an indoor unit of an air conditioner, which is used to heat or cool indoor air and is generally used together with an outdoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, set the air conditioner 001 of the present invention as an all-in-one air conditioner, and arrange an evaporator and a condenser therein at the same time, and allow it to be installed in a location or area such as a window that connects indoor and outdoor areas.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, arrange the return air vent 101 on the top side of the body 100. When this type of air conditioner 001 is embedded, the return air vent 101 on the top side may be too close to the bottom wall of the embedded space, thereby affecting the return air effect.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the body 100 includes a face frame 110, which is disposed on a side of the body 100 close to the panel 200. In addition, the return air vent 101 and the supply air vent 102 are both formed on the face frame 110. The connecting member 300 is also connected to the face frame 110.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 001 may further include a driving device 500 for driving the panel 200 to rotate, so that the air conditioner 001 can automatically open and close the panel 200, which is more intelligent.

[0072] The drive device 500 may be a linear drive device 500 .

[0073] For example, the linear drive device 500 may include a motor fixedly connected to the face frame 110, a gear fixedly connected to the motor, and a rack slidably connected to the face frame 110. The rack is meshed with the gear, and one end of the rack near the panel 200 is slidably connected to the panel 200.

[0074] When the motor rotates in the forward direction, the rack drives the panel 200 to open.

[0075] When the motor rotates in the reverse direction, the rack drives the panel 200 to close.

[0076] As a first example, the slidable connection between the rack and the panel 200 can be achieved by providing a slide groove or a slide rail having a slide groove on the panel 200. A slider that can swing or rotate relative to the rack is mounted on the end of the rack near the panel 200 and is embedded in the slide groove. The slide rail and the panel 200 are detachably connected by means of a snap or other means. Alternatively, the slider can slide out of the slide groove to separate from the slide groove.

[0077] As a second example, the slidable connection between the rack and the panel 200 can be achieved by providing a slide groove or a slide rail having a slide groove on the panel 200, and the end of the rack near the panel 200 is a spherical structure fixedly connected to the rack and engaged with the slide groove. The slide rail and the panel 200 are detachably connected by means of a snap or other means. Alternatively, the spherical structure can slide out of the slide groove to separate from the slide groove.

[0078] As a third example, the sliding connection between the rack and the panel 200 may be specifically that an iron bar is provided on the panel 200, and a magnet is installed at one end of the rack close to the panel 200, and the magnet is attracted to the iron bar.

[0079] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an avoidance hole 111 for avoiding the connecting member 300 is provided on the face frame 110, and a rib 112 is provided on the side of the face frame 110 away from the panel 200, and a connecting hole 1121 is provided on the rib 112, so that the connecting member 300 can be rotatably connected to the face frame 110 through the connecting hole 1121.

[0080] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also omit the rib 112 as needed and form the connecting hole 1121 on the peripheral wall of the avoidance hole 111 .

[0081] like Figures 9 and 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the panel 200 includes a plate body 210 and a fixing seat 220 arranged on the plate body 210, and the fixing seat 220 is provided with a slot 221 adapted to the connecting member 300, so that the connecting member 300 can be plugged into the panel 200 through the slot 221.

[0082] Return to view Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting member 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 rotatably connected to the body 100 , a plug-in structure 320 plugged into the panel 200 , and a connecting arm 330 connecting the rotating shaft 310 and the plug-in structure 320 together.

[0083] The rotating shaft 310 is adapted to the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110 to realize the rotational connection between the connecting member 300 and the face frame 110. The plug-in structure 320 is adapted to the slot 221 on the panel 200 to realize the plug-in connection between the connecting member 300 and the panel 200.

[0084] Furthermore, the first magnetic member 410 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the fixing seat 220, and the second magnetic member 420 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the plug-in structure 320 to ensure that the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 can be attracted together by magnetic force, thereby fixing the connecting member 300 to the panel 200.

[0085] The fixed connection includes any feasible connection method such as bonding, plugging, screw connection, and clamping.

[0086] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing slot 222 is provided on the fixing seat 220 , and the first magnetic attraction member 410 is a metal sheet or a metal strip inserted into the fixing slot 222 .

[0087] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving groove 321 is provided on the plug-in structure 320 , and the second magnetic attraction member 420 is a magnet installed in the receiving groove 321 .

[0088] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that by providing a receiving groove 321 on the plug-in structure 320 and configuring the second magnetic component 420 as a magnet installed in the receiving groove 321, a certain protection effect can be provided for the second magnetic component 420 to prevent the second magnetic component 420 from being damaged or loosened due to external force.

[0089] Of course, those skilled in the art may also omit the receiving slot 321 on the plug-in structure 320 and configure the second magnetic member 420 to have sufficient strength, or provide a protective shell for the second magnetic member 420 as needed.

[0090] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also configure the first magnetic member 410 to be a magnet and the second magnetic member 420 to be a metal member capable of being magnetically attracted, as needed. Alternatively, both the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 may be magnets.

[0091] from Figures 11 to 14 As can be seen in the figure, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first magnetic member 410 is disposed on a side of the slot 221 away from the plug-in structure 320, and the second magnetic member 420 is disposed on the end of the plug-in structure 320 that is inserted into the slot 221. This allows the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 to be attracted together after the plug-in structure 320 is inserted into the slot 221 of the panel 200. Furthermore, when the operator pulls the plug-in structure 320 a small distance from the slot 221 of the panel 200, the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic member 420 and the first magnetic member 410 is sharply reduced, thereby facilitating the operator's removal of the connecting member 300.

[0092] like Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a portion of the first magnetic member 410 is exposed in the slot 221, so that the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 abut against each other under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby maximizing the attraction between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420, which helps to improve the connection strength between the connecting member 300 and the panel 200.

[0093] Furthermore, at least one of the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 may be configured to be floatable or deformable to ensure that the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 abut against each other under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0094] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned floating or deformable structure allows a smaller gap to exist between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 (if there is no magnetic attraction), thereby reducing the processing requirements for the panel 200, the connecting member 300, the first magnet and the second magnet, thereby reducing production costs.

[0095] As a first example, at least one of the two ends of the first magnetic member 410 in the longitudinal direction is slidably connected to the fixing slot 222, so that the portion of the first magnetic member 410 exposed in the slot 221 can be attracted and deformed by the second magnetic member 420, moving to a position abutting the second magnetic member 420. Specifically, the first magnetic member 410 can be configured as an elastic thin sheet with the middle portion of the sheet protruding toward the second magnetic member 420, or a bump can be provided in the middle portion of the sheet.

[0096] As a second example, the second magnetic member 420 is slidable within the receiving groove 321 along the insertion direction of the plug-in structure 320, and a stop structure is provided on the plug-in structure 320 to prevent the second magnetic member 420 from detaching from the plug-in structure 320. Specifically, the second magnetic member 420 includes a large-diameter section adapted to the receiving groove 321 and a small-diameter section located on the side of the large-diameter section closer to the first magnetic member 410. The depth of the receiving groove 321 is greater than the axial length of the large-diameter section, and an annular stop structure is fixed to the plug-in structure 320 to stop the large-diameter section and allow the small-diameter section to pass through, so that the small-diameter section protrudes from the plug-in structure 320.

[0097] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a card slot 223 can also be provided on the fixing seat 220, and the card slot 223 is adapted to the connecting arm 330 of the connecting member 300 to clamp the connecting arm 330 to prevent the connecting member 300 from shaking relative to the fixing seat 220, thereby further improving the connection strength between the connecting member 300 and the panel 200.

[0098] like Figure 10 、 Figures 12 to 14 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the direction in which the plug-in structure 320 is inserted into the slot 221 is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 310, so that the connecting member 300 can be removed from the fuselage 100 and the panel 200 simultaneously toward the side away from the rotating shaft 310.

[0099] In addition, the rotating shaft 310 is arranged at one end of the connecting arm 330, the plug-in structure 320 is arranged at the other end of the connecting arm 330, and the connecting arm 330 is arranged to be C-shaped, so as to make the structure of the connecting member 300 more compact and avoid interference between the connecting member 300 and the face frame 110 of the fuselage 100.

[0100] Refer to the following Figure 10 、 Figures 12 to 14 The following briefly describes the installation and disassembly of the frame 110 , the panel 200 , and the connecting member 300 .

[0101] When the panel 200 needs to be disassembled, the driving device 500 is first controlled to open the panel 200 (if there is no driving device 500, the panel 200 is opened manually). Then, the operator directly removes the connecting member 300 from the Figure 10 and Figure 12 The assembly position shown is pulled out to Figure 13 and Figure 14 At the same time, the rotating shaft 310 of the connecting member 300 will also be pulled out from the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110. In this way, the face frame 110, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300 are disassembled.

[0102] When the panel 200 needs to be installed, first move the panel 200 close to the face frame 110, and pass the connecting member 300 through the avoidance hole 111 on the face frame 110 so that the shaft 310 is aligned with the connecting hole 1121. Then, move the plug-in structure 320 of the connecting member 300 from the face frame 110. Figure 13 and Figure 14 Insert the position shown in Figure 10 and Figure 12 At the same time, the rotating shaft 310 of the connecting member 300 will also be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110. So far, the installation of the panel 200 has been completed.

[0103] It should be noted that the installation and removal of the face frame 110, the panel 200 and the connecting member 300 are not limited to the above steps, and the operator can make appropriate adjustments according to actual needs. For example, the connecting members 300 on both sides of the panel 200 can be removed one by one.

[0104] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, make the length of the rotating shaft 310 greater than the length of the plug-in structure 320, so that when the plug-in structure 320 is disengaged from the slot 221 on the panel 200, the rotating shaft 310 is still in the connecting hole 1121 in the face frame 110, thereby preventing the connecting member 300 from being separated from the face frame 110 and falling to the ground.

[0105] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, rotatably connect the connecting member 300 to the panel 200 via the rotating shaft 310, plug the connecting member 300 into the face frame 110 via the plug-in structure 320, and install the locking member onto the face frame 110.

[0106] In summary, the present invention realizes easy rotation and quick disassembly and assembly of the panel 200 through the rotational connection and detachable connection design of the body 100 and the panel 200 and the connecting member 300, greatly improving the maintenance convenience of the air conditioner 001 and the user's operating experience.

[0107] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that the connecting member 300 of the present invention is intended to achieve rapid installation and disassembly of the panel 200, so on this basis, those skilled in the art can also set the connecting member 300 to any feasible number as needed, such as one, three, four, five, etc.

[0108] It should be noted that the air conditioner 001 of the present invention further includes components such as an air guide plate 120, a heat exchanger (not shown in the figure), and a fan (not shown in the figure).

[0109] The wind guide plate 120 is installed at the air outlet 102 to guide the direction of the wind blown out from the air outlet 102.

[0110] The heat exchanger is used to heat or cool the air in the air conditioner 001 to blow out hot or cold air. Specifically, when the air conditioner 001 is cooling, the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, and when the air conditioner 001 is heating, the heat exchanger is used as a condenser.

[0111] The fan is used to drive the outside air into the air conditioner 001 from the return air port 101, and to drive the air in the air conditioner 001 to flow out to the outside.

[0112] It should be noted that since the air guide plate 120, heat exchanger, fan and other components in the air conditioner 001 are well known to those skilled in the art and are not directly related to the technical solution to be protected by the present invention, the present invention will not elaborate on them.

[0113] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the above-mentioned multiple embodiments. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments.
