[0033] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides an air-conditioning housing support structure, including: an air-conditioning housing 10 and a support member 20.

[0034] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air-conditioning housing 10 is provided with a mounting portion (not shown) for connecting to the fixed structure 40; the support member 20 is movably connected to the air-conditioning housing 10, and the support member 20 can be rotated relative to the air-conditioning housing 10 to a stowed position and a supporting position.

[0035] When no maintenance or installation operation is required, the air conditioning housing 10 is fixed on the fixing structure 40 , and the support member 20 is moved to the retracted position. The support member 20 and the air conditioning housing 10 are detachably fixed, thereby stably retracting the support member 20 .

[0036] When the air conditioner needs to be installed or repaired, the support member 20 is moved to the supporting position, and the support member 20 abuts against the fixed structure 40 to form an operating space 30 between the air conditioner casing 10 and the fixed structure 40. At this time, the installation part does not need to be separated from the fixed structure 40, so that the back of the air conditioner and the fixed structure 40 form a certain angle, and the operating space 30 is located between the back of the air conditioner and the fixed structure 40. Since the back of the air conditioner is supported by the support member 20 and there is an operating space 30 between it and the fixed structure 40, the position available for staff to operate is increased, which is convenient for staff to perform maintenance and installation operations.

[0037] In this embodiment, the air conditioner housing 10 is an air conditioner chassis, and the support member 20 is disposed on the air conditioner chassis. Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner housing 10 can also be other structures of the air conditioner, not limited to the air conditioner chassis, and the support member 20 is disposed at an appropriate position on the air conditioner housing 10 according to actual needs.

[0038] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5The method for detachably securing the support member 20 to the air conditioner housing 10 can be appropriately designed according to actual needs. For example, a slot can be provided on the air conditioner housing 10, and the support member 20 can have an interference fit with the slot, or the support member 20 can be detachably secured to the air conditioner housing 10 via a screw. In this embodiment, a fixing buckle 21 is provided on the support member 20, and a snap-fit ​​portion 11 is provided on the air conditioner housing 10. When the support member 20 is moved to the stowed position, the fixing buckle 21 and the snap-fit ​​portion 11 can be detachably engaged, thereby achieving detachable securing of the support member 20.

[0039] The movement mode of the support member 20 and the air-conditioning housing 10 can be appropriately designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, a storage groove 13 is provided on the air-conditioning housing 10, and the support member 20 slides with the storage groove 13. The support member 20 can slide along the storage groove 13 and extend beyond the back side of the air-conditioning housing 10, so that the support member 20 can be supported on the fixed structure 40, and the support member 20 can slide into the storage groove 13 so that the support member 20 is hidden without interfering with the installation of the air-conditioning housing 10; in this embodiment, the support member 20 rotates with the air-conditioning housing 10.

[0040] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to facilitate the rotational cooperation between the support member 20 and the air conditioning housing 10, in some optional embodiments, a rotating shaft portion 22 is provided on both sides of the support member 20, and a concave guiding slope 221 is formed at the end of the rotating shaft portion 22. The air conditioning housing 10 is provided with a rotating shaft hole 12, and the rotating shaft portion 22 is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft hole 12. When the support member 20 is installed, the support member 20 can press against the air conditioning housing 10 through the guiding slope 221 to drive the air conditioning housing 10 to deform, thereby allowing the rotating shaft portion 22 to pass over the air conditioning housing 10 and enter the rotating shaft hole 12. Of course, in other embodiments, holes can also be provided on the support member 20, and a shaft that rotates with the holes can be designed on the air conditioning housing 10. This is not limited to this example.

[0041] When the support member 20 abuts against the fixed structure 40, the gravity of the air-conditioning housing 10 may drive the support member 20 to rotate in the direction from the supporting position to the retracted position. In order to enable the support member 20 to stably support the air-conditioning housing 10, in some optional embodiments, a support rib 23 is provided on the support member 20. When the support member 20 moves to the supporting position, the support rib 23 cooperates with the air-conditioning housing 10 to limit the rotation of the support member 20 in the direction from the retracted position to the supporting position, thereby avoiding the failure of the support member 20 to cause the air-conditioning housing 10 to lose support and rotate toward the fixed structure 40, thereby improving safety.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, a receiving groove 13 is provided on the air conditioner housing 10. When the support member 20 moves to the retracted position, the support member 20 is received in the receiving groove 13, thereby concealing the support member 20 and not interfering with the installation of the air conditioner housing 10. In this embodiment, the support member 20 enters or exits the receiving groove 13 by rotating. Of course, in other embodiments, the support member 20 may also slide with the receiving groove 13 to enter or exit the receiving groove 13, and the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, when the support member 20 moves to the retracted position, a first operating groove 14 is formed between the inner wall of the storage groove 13 and the support member 20. The staff can insert their fingers or other tools into the first operating groove 14 and then apply force to the support member 20 to drive the support member 20 out of the storage groove 13, thereby making it easier for the staff to remove the support member 20 from the storage groove 13.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, a second operating groove 24 is provided on the support member 20. The staff can insert a finger or other tool into the second operating groove 24, and then apply force to the support member 20 to drive the support member 20 out of the storage groove 13, thereby facilitating the staff to remove the support member 20 from the storage groove 13. In this embodiment, the first operating groove 14 and the second operating groove 24 are designed at the same time, so as to facilitate the staff to remove the support member 20 from the storage groove 13. The specific operation is as follows: the staff can insert a finger or a tool into the first operating groove 14 and the second operating groove 24 respectively, and use the finger or tool to press the outer side of the support member 20 and the inner side of the second operating groove 24 to clamp the support member 20, and then remove the support member 20 from the storage groove 13. This facilitates the staff to apply stable force to the support member 20, making it easier to remove the support member 20.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the support member 20 is provided with a support end 25 for abutting against the fixed structure 40, and the edge of the support end 25 is formed with a chamfer 251, which is a rounded corner. The rounded corner design can prevent the support end 25 from scratching the fixed structure 40 such as the wall.

[0046] The above-mentioned air-conditioning casing support structure can be applied to an air conditioner, which includes: an air-conditioning casing support structure as described above.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
