[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, many different types of air conditioners have appeared on the market. Air conditioners can include a variety of cooling or heating machines such as air-cooled air conditioners, water-cooled air conditioners, variable-frequency air conditioners and precision air conditioners. Most existing air conditioner cabinets use a fixed outer shell. When maintenance is required, the equipment shell must be disassembled to repair the internal components such as the fan and heat exchanger. The operation is cumbersome and the work efficiency is low. At the same time, the existing air conditioner cabinets also have a maintenance door that can be rotated and opened on the side, and a maintenance space is reserved inside the air conditioner cabinet to allow maintenance personnel to enter the cabinet from the side to operate. The component layout inside the air conditioner cabinet is not compact enough, resulting in a larger air conditioner cabinet, higher overall cost and lower space utilization.

The fan 40 is housed within the storage space 50.

[0026] The outer panel assembly 20 includes a pair of outer panels 201. The pair of outer panels 201 are arranged opposite to the front panel 14, and the pair of outer panels 201 are rotatably mounted on the two side panels 11 respectively. The pair of outer panels 201 covers the air inlet side of the fan 40. The outer panel 201 includes an outer panel frame 21 and a filter panel 22. The outer panel frame 21 is rotatably connected to the side panel 11, and the filter panel 22 rotates coaxially with the outer panel frame 21 relative to the side panel 11. The filter panel 22 is arranged on the outer panel frame 21. After being filtered by the filter panel 22, the air passes through the fan 40 and then enters the interior of the housing 10. The filter panel 22 is arranged on the outside of the inner panel assembly 30. When the filter panel 22 is damaged, it can be replaced directly on the outer panel frame 21 without opening the inner panel assembly 30, which is convenient to operate.

[0027] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner panel assembly 30 includes a fan frame 31 and a fan inner panel 32. The fan frame 31 is fixed to the housing 10, and the fan inner panel 32 is rotatably connected to the fan frame 31.

The outer panels 201 rotate relative to the side panels 11, and the inner panels 321 rotate relative to the first and second vertical rods 313 and 314. When the outer panels 201 and inner panels 321 are opened, they are positioned opposite each other. A gap is provided between the hinge points between the outer panels 201 and the side panels 11 and the hinge points between the inner panels 321 and the first and second vertical rods 313 and 314 to prevent interference between the outer panels 201 and inner panels 321 when they are opened.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first vertical rod 313 and the second vertical rod 314 can be respectively disposed near the two side panels 11. The rotation axes of the outer panel 201 and the inner panel 321 are close to each other. The hinge points between the outer panel 201 and the side panels 11 are close to the hinge points between the inner panel 321 and the first vertical rod 313 or the second vertical rod 314.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pair of inner panels 321 may also be hinged to the upper crossbar 311 and the lower crossbar 312 respectively.

The pair of inner panels 321 are vertically flipped along the upper crossbar 311 and the lower crossbar 312.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present application, the fan frame includes an upper crossbar, a lower crossbar, and a fixed plate. The fixed plate is vertically fixed to the upper and lower crossbars. The fixed plate is positioned midway between the upper and lower crossbars. The fan inner panel includes a pair of inner plates. The pair of inner plates are rotatably connected to the vertical edges of the fixed plate.

[0034] The sides of the pair of inner panels 321 are each provided with a latching member 322. The first and second connecting rods 315, 316 are each provided with a latching portion. The latching members 322 engage with the latching portion to lock the pair of inner panels 321 with the first and second connecting rods 315, 316. Several rotating handles 323 are provided on the side of the inner panels 321 facing the outer panel assembly 20. These rotating handles 323 engage with the latching members 322. Rotating the rotating handles 323 rotates the latching members 322 to unlock and lock the inner panels.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present application, four rotating handles 323 and four locking members 322 are provided on an inner plate 321 .

[0036] The fan inner plate 32 is provided with a fan 40. The fans 40 are arranged in multiple rows and columns, with at least two fans 40 provided in each row. According to an embodiment of the present application, two fans 40 are vertically provided on one inner plate 321. Four fans 40 are provided on the fan inner plate 32.

[0037] Several levers 324 are provided on the side of the fan inner panel 32 facing the front panel 14. These levers 324 are located on either side of the fan 40. These levers 324 allow maintenance personnel to push and pull the fan inner panel 32, which houses the fan 40. A display screen 325 is also provided on the side of the fan inner panel 32 facing the outer panel assembly 20. The display screen 325 is located between the pair of inner panels 321. This allows for operation and settings of the entire air conditioner unit.

[0038] The air conditioner housing includes a heat exchanger 60, a damper 70, and a ladder 80. These are housed within the accommodating space 50. The heat exchanger 60 is positioned adjacent to the front panel 14. The damper 70 is mounted on the front panel 14 and positioned inside the heat exchanger 60. The ladder 80 is located in the center of the accommodating space 50 and outside the heat exchanger 60. The accommodating space 50 forms a maintenance sub-chamber 51 between the heat exchanger 60 and the outer panel assembly 20.

[0039] When components inside the air conditioner are damaged or require maintenance, the air conditioner is shut down. Maintenance personnel can first open the outer panel assembly 20, then open the fan inner panel 32, enter the maintenance sub-chamber 51 from the air inlet side of the fan 40, and perform maintenance on the components inside the accommodating space 50.

[0040] According to the embodiment of the present application, the two air-conditioning boxes are stacked and hingedly fixed, and the bottom plate 13 of the upper air-conditioning box is arranged on the top plate 12 of the lower air-conditioning box. Two through holes 90 are provided on the bottom plate 13 of the upper air-conditioning box and the top plate 12 of the lower air-conditioning box, and the two through holes 90 are provided at the ladder 80. When the two air-conditioning boxes are operating normally, the two through holes 90 are in a closed state, and the upper air-conditioning box and the lower air-conditioning box are isolated from each other. When the components in the upper air-conditioning box need to be repaired, the two air-conditioning boxes can be shut down at the same time. The maintenance personnel first enter the lower air-conditioning box, and then enter the upper air-conditioning box through the ladder 80 and the through holes 90 to perform maintenance on the components in the upper air-conditioning box.

[0041] The present application also provides an air conditioning unit, comprising the above-mentioned air conditioning box. A plurality of air conditioning boxes can be stacked up and down, or placed side by side.

[0042] The outer panel assembly 20 of the present invention is rotatably connected to the housing 10, allowing the outer panel assembly 20 to be opened for maintenance of components within the air conditioner housing, making maintenance operations convenient. Furthermore, the fan inner panel 32 is rotatably connected to the fan frame 31, allowing operators to enter the air conditioner housing from the air inlet side. This frees up more maintenance space, improves space utilization, optimizes the spatial layout within the air conditioner housing, and thus reduces the volume of the air conditioner housing and the overall cost of the unit.
