DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0029] In this application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described in this application as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a buffer device, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the buffer device includes a buffer pad 100, a sliding member 200, a support member 300 and an elastic member 400. The buffer pad 100 is connected to one end of the sliding member 200, the other end of the sliding member 200 is connected to one end of the elastic member 400, and the other end of the elastic member 400 is connected to the support member 300. The sliding member 200 can be slidably fitted on the support member 300 along the extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 400 (that is, the sliding direction of the sliding member 200 is the same as the extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 400).

[0031] When the buffer device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used, the buffer device is set under the top cover of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and the buffer pad 100 is connected to the top cover. When the top cover is subjected to a large impact force, the sliding part 200 slides downward to compress the elastic part 400. The elastic part 400 after being compressed generates an elastic recovery force to push the sliding part 200 and the buffer pad 100 to move upward, thereby reducing the impact force on the top cover and restoring the top cover to its original position, effectively preventing the top cover from deformation.

[0032] Optionally, the outer shape of the cushion pad 100 is adapted to the structure of the top cover so that the cushion pad 100 can fit the top cover, thereby achieving a better cushioning effect.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cushion pad 100 has a U-shaped structure, and both sides of the U-shaped structure are inclined surfaces that are inclined outward. This design can effectively increase the contact area between the cushion pad 100 and the top cover, improving the fit rate. This can effectively help the top cover relieve the impact pressure when the top cover is subjected to a large impact force, ensuring that the top cover structure does not deform, thereby meeting the user's requirements for appearance. Specifically, the planar width of the U-shaped cushion pad 100 is D, and the inclination angle of the two side inclined surfaces is α, 10mm≤D≤30mm, 30°≤α≤80°.

[0034] Optionally, the plane width D of the U-shaped buffer pad 100 can be 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 25mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, 29mm, 30mm or a range between any two values, etc.; the inclination angle α of the inclined surface can be 30°, 32°, 35°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, 45°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 55°, 58°, 60°, 62°, 65°, 70°, 72°, 75°, 78°, 80° or a range between any two values, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the support member 300 is provided with a guide post 500, and the elastic member 400 is telescopically mounted on the guide post 500. The guide post 500 can serve as a guide during the expansion and contraction of the elastic member 400, thereby improving the stability of the sliding member 200 during sliding. This ensures that the sliding member 200 can quickly move upward with the help of the elastic member 400 after being subjected to downward pressure, thereby removing the pressure and returning to its original position, thereby preventing the top cover from being deformed by force. Optionally, the elastic member 400 can be a spring or a spring.

[0036] Optional, such as Figure 1 、 Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the sliding member 200 includes a sliding portion 210 and a mating portion 220 connected to the sliding portion 210. The sliding portion 210 is slidably connected to the support member 300, and the buffer pad 100 is disposed on the sliding portion 210. The mating portion 220 is connected to one end of the elastic member 400 and is provided with a guide hole 221. The guide post 500 is disposed in the guide hole 221. The guide hole 221 cooperates with the guide post 500, forming a sliding mating structure with the mating portion 220. Combined with the sliding connection between the sliding portion 210 and the support member 300, the dual sliding mode ensures the stability of the sliding member 200 during sliding, allowing the sliding member 200 to slide smoothly.

[0037] Specifically, the sliding portion 210 is vertically connected to the matching portion 220 to form an L-shaped structure, wherein the length of the sliding portion 210 is H, 15mm≤H≤30mm, to ensure that the sliding part 200 has sufficient length to buffer and unload the force up and down when the top cover is squeezed; the width of the matching portion 220 is M, 6mm≤M≤12mm, to ensure that the sliding part 200 and the support part 300 have sufficient contact space, will not be easily damaged, and enhance firmness.

[0038] Optionally, the length H of the sliding portion 210 can be 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 25mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, 29mm, 30mm or a range between any two values, etc.; the width M of the mating portion 220 can be 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm or a range between any two values, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, one end of the guide post 500 is connected to the support member 300, and the other end of the guide post 500 is provided with a stopper 600, and the engaging portion 220 is located between the stopper 600 and the elastic member 400. The stopper 600 is provided to limit the position of the sliding member 200, preventing the sliding member 200 from being separated from the support member 300 when the sliding member 200 is subjected to excessive force, resulting in excessive pushing force from the elastic member 400.

[0040] Optionally, one end of the guide post 500 is provided with an external thread, and the stopper 600 is provided with a threaded hole, which is threadedly engaged with the external thread of the guide post 500. By engaging the external thread of one end of the guide post 500 with the threaded hole of the stopper 600, the stopper 600 can be locked to the guide post 500, so that the slider 200 will not be subjected to excessive force and eject the entire structure.

[0041] Optional, such as Figure 8 As shown, both sides of the support member 300 are provided with a slide groove 301, which extends along the extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 400. The two side edges of the sliding member 200 are slidably inserted into the slide grooves 301 on both sides in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, the two side edges of the sliding member 200 are inserted into the slide grooves 301 on both sides in a one-to-one correspondence and can slide along the corresponding slide grooves 301, thereby achieving sliding cooperation between the sliding member 200 and the support member 300. Specifically, when the sliding member 200 includes a sliding portion 210, the two sides of the sliding portion 210 are slidably fitted into the slide grooves 301 on both sides of the support member 300 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, one of the sliding member 200 and the cushion 100 is provided with a buckle 201, and the other is provided with a slot 101, and the slot 101 and the buckle 201 are engaged with each other, thereby achieving the connection between the sliding member 200 and the cushion 100, so that the sliding member 200 can drive the cushion 100 to move along the extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 400. Alternatively, the sliding member 200 may be provided with a buckle 201, the cushion 100 may be provided with a slot 101, and the slot 101 and the buckle 201 may be engaged with each other; or the cushion 100 may be provided with a buckle 201, the sliding member 200 may be provided with a slot 101, and the slot 101 and the buckle 201 may be engaged with each other.

[0043] Specifically, when the sliding member 200 includes a sliding portion 210, a buckle 201 is provided on one of the sliding portion 210 and the cushion 100, and a slot 101 is provided on the other. The slot 101 engages with the buckle 201 to achieve connection between the sliding member 200 and the cushion 100. Optionally, the buckle 201 may be provided on the sliding portion 210 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), the buffer pad 100 is provided with a slot 101 (as shown Figure 4 As shown), the card slot 101 is engaged with the buckle 201; alternatively, the buffer pad 100 may be provided with a buckle 201, the sliding portion 210 may be provided with a card slot 101, and the card slot 101 is engaged with the buckle 201.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 、 Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the support member 300 includes a first mounting portion 310, a second mounting portion 320 and a third mounting portion 330 connected in sequence, and the first mounting portion 310 and the third mounting portion 330 are arranged opposite to each other; the first mounting portion 310 is slidably connected to the sliding member 200, the second mounting portion 320 is connected to one end of the elastic member 400, and the third mounting portion 330 is used to connect to an external device to realize the installation of the entire buffer device to the external device.

[0045] Specifically, a sliding groove 301 is provided on both sides of the first mounting portion 310. When the sliding member 200 includes the sliding portion 210, the two sides of the sliding portion 210 slide and fit in the sliding grooves 301 on both sides of the first mounting portion 310 one by one to realize the sliding connection between the sliding member 200 and the support member 300.

[0046] Optionally, the support member 300 further includes a fourth mounting portion 340, which is located on a side of the third mounting portion 330 facing away from the first mounting portion 310. The third mounting portion 330 and the fourth mounting portion 340 enclose a slot 302. By providing the slot 302, when the buffer device needs to be mounted on an external device, a portion of the external device can be inserted into the slot 302, thereby increasing the securement of the buffer device on the external device.

[0047] Specifically, mounting holes 303 are provided on both the third mounting portion 330 and the fourth mounting portion 340, and the mounting holes 303 of the two are coaxially arranged. When the buffer device needs to be mounted on an external device, a portion of the external device is inserted into the slot 302, and a fastener is sequentially inserted through the mounting holes 303 on the fourth mounting portion 340, the mounting holes 303 on the external device, and the third mounting portion 330, thereby connecting the support member 300 to the external device and achieving the installation of the buffer device on the external device. Optionally, the mounting holes 303 on the third mounting portion 330 can be threaded holes, and the fasteners can be screws, which are sequentially inserted through the mounting holes 303 on the fourth mounting portion 340, the threaded holes on the external device, and the third mounting portion 330, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the buffer device.
