[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-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising a body, a panel, a connecting member and an eccentric wheel; 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; a locking groove is provided on the connecting member; the eccentric wheel is rotatably mounted on the other of the body and the panel, and can be rotated into and out of the locking groove to lock and unlock the connection between the connecting member and the other of the body and the panel.

[0007] Optionally, the panel includes a plate body and a fixing seat arranged on the plate body, the fixing seat is provided with a slot and a mounting hole, the panel is plugged into the connecting member through the slot, the mounting hole connects the slot with the outer side of the fixing seat and aligns with the lock slot inserted into the slot; the eccentric wheel is installed in the mounting hole and is partially located on the outer side of the fixing seat, so that the operator can drive the eccentric wheel into and out of the lock slot.

[0008] Optionally, the panel further comprises a locking structure, wherein the locking structure is used to lock the eccentric wheel to a position rotated into the locking slot and to a position rotated out of the locking slot.

[0009] Optionally, the locking structure includes an elastic member and a protrusion arranged on the side of the elastic member facing the eccentric wheel; a first groove and a second groove are provided on the side of the eccentric wheel facing the elastic member; the protrusion is embedded in the first groove when the eccentric wheel rotates into the locking groove, and the protrusion is embedded in the second groove when the eccentric wheel rotates out of the locking groove.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic member is arranged in the mounting hole; an avoidance gap is provided on the side wall of the mounting hole close to the elastic member, so that the elastic member can be deformed into the avoidance gap, thereby ensuring that the protrusion can slide out of the first groove and the second groove.

[0011] Optionally, the eccentric wheel includes a wheel body and a pin shaft; the fixing seat is provided with a fixing hole on one side of the mounting hole to install and fix the pin shaft, so that the wheel body can be rotatably mounted on the fixing seat.

[0012] Optionally, the radial cross-section of the eccentric wheel is D-shaped as a whole.

[0013] Optionally, the connecting member includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the body, a plug-in structure plugged into the panel, and a connecting arm connecting the rotating shaft and the plug-in structure together, and the locking slot is provided on the plug-in structure.

[0014] Optionally, the body includes a face frame, which is arranged on a side of the body close to the panel; the face frame is provided with a avoidance hole for avoiding the connecting arm and the rotating shaft, and the face frame is provided with a rib on the side away from the panel, and the rib is provided with a connecting hole; and / or the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the plug-in direction of the plug-in structure, so that the connecting member can be removed from the body and the panel at the same time toward the side away from the rotating shaft; and / or the connecting member and the eccentric wheel are respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the panel; and / or the front side of the body is provided with a return air outlet and an air supply outlet located at the bottom side of the return air outlet, 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.

[0015] Optionally, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner, a built-in air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.

[0016] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in the aforementioned technical solution of the present invention, by rotatably connecting one of the body and panel to a connecting member and plugging the other of the body and panel into the connecting member, the connecting member can function as an independent component to connect the body and panel, allowing the panel to rotate relative to the body. Compared to conventional direct connections between the panel and the body, the present invention reduces the complexity of the molds for the body and panel, thereby improving the yield rate of the body and panel. The present invention also provides a locking slot on the connecting member, and a rotatable eccentric wheel is mounted on the other of the body and panel, allowing the eccentric wheel to rotate in and out of the locking slot to lock and unlock the connection between the connecting member and the other of the body and panel. In other words, the connecting member of the present invention can be locked to the other of the body and panel via the eccentric wheel, preventing the eccentric wheel from accidentally separating from the other of the body and panel during transportation, handling, and operation of the air conditioner. At the same time, when removing the panel, it is only necessary to rotate the eccentric wheel out of the locking groove to separate the connecting member from the other of the fuselage and the panel, thereby separating the panel from the fuselage. Therefore, the utility model not only allows the panel to rotate relative to the fuselage, but also facilitates the removal of the panel.

[0017] Furthermore, by configuring a fixing base for the panel and providing a slot for inserting the connecting member and a mounting hole for accommodating the eccentric wheel on the fixing base, the connection between the connecting member and the eccentric wheel and the panel is ensured, while also ensuring the structural strength of the panel. By locating a portion of the eccentric wheel outside the fixing base, an operator can access this portion of the eccentric wheel and thereby drive the eccentric wheel into and out of the locking slot.

[0018] Furthermore, by configuring a locking structure for the panel, the panel can lock the eccentric wheel to a position where it is turned into the lock slot and a position where it is turned out of the lock slot through the locking structure, thereby preventing the eccentric wheel from rotating accidentally and affecting its locking of the connecting component and the panel, and hindering the connecting component from being inserted into the slot on the panel.

[0019] Furthermore, by positioning the elastic member of the locking structure within the mounting hole, the locking structure is protected by the fixing seat, preventing the elastic member from being squeezed or broken by external forces. By providing an escape notch on the side wall of the mounting hole near the elastic member, the elastic member can bend into the escape notch, ensuring that the protrusion can slide out of the first and second grooves of the eccentric wheel while also reducing the size of the fixing seat and the locking structure.

[0020] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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, and an eccentric wheel 400. 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. A locking slot 301 is provided on the connecting member 300. The eccentric wheel 400 is rotatably mounted on the other of the body 100 and the panel 200 and can be rotated into and out of the locking slot 301 to lock and unlock the connection between the connecting member 300 and the other of the body 100 and the panel 200.

[0051] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that by rotatably connecting one of the body 100 and the panel 200 with the connecting member 300 and plugging the other into the connecting member 300, the connecting member 300 can function as an independent component to connect the body 100 and the panel 200, allowing 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. The present invention also provides a locking slot 301 on the connecting member 300 and mounts a rotatable eccentric wheel 400 on the other of the body 100 and the panel 200, allowing the eccentric wheel 400 to rotate in and out of the locking slot 301 to lock and unlock the connection between the connecting member 300 and the other of the body 100 and the panel 200. That is, the connecting member 300 of the present invention can be locked to the other of the body 100 and the panel 200 via the eccentric wheel 400, preventing the eccentric wheel 400 from accidentally separating from the other of the body 100 and the panel 200 during transportation, handling, and operation of the air conditioner 001. Furthermore, when removing the panel 200, the connecting member 300 can be separated from the other of the body 100 and the panel 200 by simply rotating the eccentric wheel 400 out of the locking slot 301, thereby separating the panel 200 from the body 100. Therefore, the present invention not only allows the panel 200 to rotate relative to the body 100, but also facilitates the removal of the panel 200.

[0052] Continue reading Figures 1 to 5 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 .

[0053] 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 .

[0054] Continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, connecting members 300 and eccentric wheels 400 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.

[0055] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, dispose the connecting member 300 and the eccentric wheel 400 on the top of the panel 200. However, in this case, the return air vent 101 may absorb the air blown out from the air supply vent 102, affecting the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner 001.

[0056] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also dispose the return air port 101 at the bottom side of the supply air port 102 as needed. The connecting member 300 and the eccentric wheel 400 may also be disposed on the top of the panel 200 .

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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 .

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] Of course, the air conditioner 001 can also be fixed to the wall according to the requirements of the construction party or the user.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] like Figure 1 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.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 001 may further include a driving device 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.

[0068] The driving device 500 may be a linear driving device.

[0069] For example, the linear drive device 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 engaged with the gear, and one end of the rack close to the panel 200 is slidably connected to the panel 200.

[0070] When the motor rotates in the forward direction, the rack drives the panel 200 to open.

[0071] When the motor rotates in the reverse direction, the rack drives the panel 200 to close.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a 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 passes through the avoidance hole 111 and is rotatably connected to the face frame 110 through the connecting hole 1121.

[0076] 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 .

[0077] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the panel 200 includes a plate body 210 and a fixing base 220 provided on the plate body 210, the fixing base 220 is provided with a slot 221 and a mounting hole 222, the panel 200 is plugged into the connecting member 300 through the slot 221, and the mounting hole 222 connects the slot 221 with the outer side of the fixing base 220 and is aligned with the lock slot 301 inserted into the slot 221 (as shown in FIG. Figure 15 and Figure 17 shown).

[0078] On the premise that it can be plugged into the connecting member 300 and the eccentric wheel 400 can be installed, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also omit the setting of the fixing seat 220 as needed, or set the fixing seat 220 to any other feasible structure, such as a bracket.

[0079] like Figure 12 As shown, 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. The locking slot 301 is provided on the plug-in structure 320.

[0080] from Figure 12 As can be seen in the figure, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 310 is parallel to the plug-in direction of the plug-in structure 320, so that the connecting member 300 can be removed from the fuselage 100 and the panel 200 at the same time toward the side away from the rotating shaft 310.

[0081] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 310 and the connecting arm 330 can be inserted into the avoidance hole 111 at the same time to ensure that the rotating shaft 310 is plugged into and rotatably connected to the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110 .

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting arm 330 is intended to ensure a certain distance between the rotating shaft 310 and the plug-in structure 320 to ensure that the rotating shaft 310 can be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110 and to ensure that the plug-in structure 320 is plugged into the panel 200.

[0083] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0084] In other embodiments of the present invention, on the premise that the rotating shaft 310 can be inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110 and the plug-in structure 320 is ensured to be plugged into the panel 200, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, omit the provision of the connecting arm 330 and directly connect the rotating shaft 310 and the plug-in structure 320 together.

[0085] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the eccentric wheel 400 includes a wheel body 410 and a pin 420. The wheel body 410 is plugged into the pin 420 so that the wheel body 410 is rotatably mounted on the base body via the pin 420. Specifically, a through hole is provided on the wheel body 410 to allow the pin 420 to pass through, so that the pin 420 passes through the through hole.

[0086] from Figure 13 It can be seen from the figure that in some embodiments of the present invention, the radial cross-section of the eccentric wheel 400 is D-shaped as a whole.

[0087] Of course, under the premise that the eccentric wheel 400 can be rotated into and out of the lock groove 301, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, set the eccentric wheel 400 to any other feasible form in other embodiments of the present invention, such as setting the radial cross-section of the eccentric wheel 400 as a triangle, a pie, an ellipse, etc.

[0088] like Figures 14 to 18 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the eccentric wheel 400 is installed in the installation hole 222 and is partially located outside the fixing seat 220 , so that the operator can drive the eccentric wheel 400 to rotate into and out of the locking slot 301 .

[0089] Continue reading Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments of the present invention, the panel 200 may further include a locking structure 230 for locking the eccentric wheel 400 into the position of the locking groove 301 (eg Figure 14 and Figure 15 ) and locked to the position of rotating out of the lock slot 301 (as shown) Figures 16 to 18 shown).

[0090] Continue reading Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments of the present invention, the locking structure 230 includes an elastic member 231 and a protrusion 232 provided on a side of the elastic member 231 facing the eccentric wheel 400 .

[0091] The elastic member 231 may be fixedly connected to or integrally formed with at least one of the plate body 210 and the fixing seat 220. The elastic member 231 may be made of plastic or metal.

[0092] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first groove 401 and a second groove 402 are provided on a side of the eccentric wheel 400 facing the elastic member 231 .

[0093] like Figures 14 to 17 As shown, the protrusion 232 is embedded in the first groove 401 (as shown in FIG. Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown), the protrusion 232 is embedded in the second groove 402 (as shown) when the eccentric wheel 400 rotates out of the locking groove 301. Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown).

[0094] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the elastic member 231 is arranged in the mounting hole 222. The side wall of the mounting hole 222 near the elastic member 231 is provided with an escape notch 223, so that the elastic member 231 can be deformed into the escape notch 223, thereby ensuring that the protrusion 232 can slide out of the first groove 401 and the second groove 402.

[0095] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that by configuring the panel 200 with the fixing base 220 and providing the fixing base 220 with a slot 221 for plugging with the connecting member 300 and a mounting hole 222 for accommodating the eccentric wheel 400, the connection between the connecting member 300 and the eccentric wheel 400 and the panel 200 is ensured, while also ensuring the structural strength of the panel 200. By locating a portion of the eccentric wheel 400 outside the fixing base 220, an operator can access this portion of the eccentric wheel 400 and thereby drive the eccentric wheel 400 to rotate in and out of the locking slot 301.

[0096] Furthermore, under the premise that the eccentric wheel 400 can be locked in the position of being rotated into the lock slot 301 and in the position of being rotated out of the lock slot 301, those skilled in the art may also configure the locking structure 230 and the first groove 401 and the second groove 402 that cooperate therewith as any other feasible form as needed. For example, the locking structure 230 may be configured as a magnet fixed to the fixing base 220 (e.g., the side wall of the mounting hole 222), and two magnets or metal blocks may be provided on the eccentric wheel 400 to replace the first groove 401 and the second groove 402, thereby positioning the eccentric wheel 400 by magnetic attraction.

[0097] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing seat 220 is provided with a fixing hole 224 on one side of the mounting hole 222 to install and fix the pin shaft 420 , so that the wheel body 410 can be rotatably mounted on the fixing seat 220 .

[0098] Exemplarily, the pin 420 and the fixing hole 224 can be interference fit, can be snap-fitted, or can be relatively fixed together by a sticky substance such as glue, so that the pin 420 is fixed to the fixing seat 220 to prevent the pin 420 from falling off the fixing seat 220.

[0099] On the premise that the eccentric wheel 400 can be rotatably mounted on the fixing seat 220, those skilled in the art may also use any other feasible method to fix the wheel body 410 to the fixing seat 220 as needed in other embodiments of the present invention. For example, grooves may be provided on opposite sides of the wheel body 410, and latching protrusions may be provided on opposite sides of the mounting hole 222, so that the latching protrusions are embedded in the grooves, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the wheel body 410 and the fixing seat 220.

[0100] Refer to the following Figures 14 to 18 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 moves the eccentric wheel 400 by finger, so that the eccentric wheel 400 moves from the Figure 14 and Figure 15 Turn the position shown to Figure 16 and Figure 17 The eccentric wheel 400 is rotated out of the locking groove 301 on the connecting member 300, thereby releasing the locking of the connecting member 300 by the eccentric wheel 400. Figures 16 and 17 Pull out to the position shown Figure 18At 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 18 Insert the position shown in Figures 16 and 17 The position shown in FIG. 3 is to align the locking groove 301 with the mounting hole 222. Then the eccentric wheel 400 is moved from Figure 16 and Figure 17 Move the position shown to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The connecting member 300 is locked in the position shown. At the same time, the rotating shaft 310 of the connecting member 300 is also inserted into the connecting hole 1121 on the face frame 110. At this point, the installation of the panel 200 is 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 eccentric wheel 400 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. Without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may split and combine the technical solutions of the above-mentioned various embodiments, and may also make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
