[0003] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary.

[0004] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a suspension structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of high installation costs for indoor air conditioning units.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a suspension structure, including a first wall-mounting component and a base, wherein at least one hanging groove is provided on one side of the base, and a limiting component is provided on the groove wall of the hanging groove, and the first wall-mounting component includes at least one hook portion;

[0007] When the base is hung on the first wall mount, the hook portion extends into the hanging groove, and the limiting member abuts against the hook portion to prevent the hook portion from falling out of the hanging groove.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the limiting member includes a limiting part, and the hook part includes a first hanging plate and a second hanging plate connected in sequence, wherein the first hanging plate and the second hanging plate form an included angle, the included angle being greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0009] When the hook portion is located within the hanging groove, the limiting portion abuts against and supports the lower surface of the second hanging plate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the limiting part includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface, both of which are inclined. The angle of inclination of the first abutting surface relative to the horizontal plane is α, and the angle of inclination of the first abutting surface relative to the horizontal plane is β, where 20°≤α≤25° and 35°≤β≤40°.

[0011] In one possible implementation, when the hook portion extends into the hanging groove, the maximum gap distance between the limiting portion and the lower surface of the second hanging plate is S, where 0.1mm≤S≤0.5mm.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the wall of the hanging groove includes an end contact surface, and the opening of the hanging groove is formed between the end contact surface and the limiting member;

[0013] When the base separates from the first wall-mounting component, the limiting component abuts against one side of the hook portion, and the end contact surface abuts against the side of the hook portion away from the limiting component.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a second wall-mounting component is further included. The second wall-mounting component is detachably connected to the first wall-mounting component. The second wall-mounting component includes a locking part with a locking hole.

The bottom of the installation groove has multiple sets of first installation holes. The second wall-mounting component is provided with at least one set of second installation holes. The second wall-mounting component can slide within the installation groove so that the second installation holes can be aligned with any set of the first installation holes. The locking device is used to pass through the first and second installation holes and lock the first and second wall-mounting components.

[0018] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including the suspension structure as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The suspension structure provided in this application embodiment, by providing a hanging groove on the base and a hook portion on the first wall-mounting component, allows the base to be hung on the first wall-mounting component simply by inserting the hook portion into the hanging groove. By providing a limiting member on the groove wall, the limiting member abuts against the hook portion after the hook portion is inserted into the hanging groove, thereby preventing the hook portion from detaching from the hanging groove and strengthening the connection between the first wall-mounting component and the base. The air conditioner indoor unit does not require an additional connecting structure during installation onto the first wall-mounting component, reducing the installation cost of the air conditioner indoor unit and solving the problem of high installation costs for air conditioner indoor units.

[0029] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application provides a suspension structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem that the indoor unit of the air conditioner may accidentally detach from the wall mounting plate. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a suspension structure, including a first wall-mounting component 1 and a base 3. At least one hanging groove 31 is provided on one side of the base 3, and a limiting component 32 is provided on the groove wall of the hanging groove 31. The first wall-mounting component 1 includes at least one hook portion 11.

[0034] When the base 3 is hung on the first wall mount 1, the hook part 11 extends into the hanging groove 31, and the limiting member 32 abuts against the hook part 11 to prevent the hook part 11 from coming out of the hanging groove 31.

[0035] By providing a hanging groove 31 on the base 3 and a hook portion 11 on the first wall-mounting component 1, the base 3 can be hung on the first wall-mounting component 1 by inserting the hook portion 11 into the hanging groove 31. By providing a limiting member 32 on the groove wall of the hanging groove 31, the limiting member 32 abuts against the hook portion 11 after the hook portion 11 is inserted into the hanging groove 31, thereby preventing the hook portion 11 from coming out of the hanging groove 31 and strengthening the connection between the first wall-mounting component 1 and the base 3. The air conditioner indoor unit does not need to use an additional connecting structure during the installation process of the first wall-mounting component 1, which not only helps to reduce the installation cost of the air conditioner indoor unit and solve the problem of high installation cost of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also helps to reduce the occurrence of bending of the first wall-mounting component 1 due to external force and improves the stability of the suspension structure.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The first wall-mounting component 1 includes a hook portion 11 and a support portion 12. The hook portion 11 is integrally formed on the top of the support portion 12. In this embodiment, the number of hook portions 11 is set to two, and the two hook portions 11 are arranged alternately along the first direction. The base 3 also has two hanging slots 31, and the hook portions 11 and the hanging slots 31 are arranged one-to-one. When the base 3 is hung on the first wall-mounting component 1, the hook portion 11 extends into the corresponding hanging slot 31 and abuts against the slot wall of the hanging slot 31, and the hook portion 11 applies a supporting force to the base 3.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hook portion 11 includes a first hanging plate 111 and a second hanging plate 112 connected in sequence. The first hanging plate 111 and the second hanging plate 112 form an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°. The limiting member 32 includes a limiting part 323, which includes a first abutting surface 321 and a second abutting surface 322. Both the first abutting surface 321 and the second abutting surface 322 are inclined. During the process of the hook portion 11 extending into the hanging groove 31, the connection between the first hanging plate 111 and the second hanging plate 112 abuts against and presses the first abutting surface 321, causing the limiting member 32 to gradually undergo elastic deformation until the hook portion 11 is completely inserted into the hanging groove 31.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the groove wall of the hanging groove 31 includes an end contact surface 311, and the groove opening of the hanging groove 31 is formed between the end contact surface 311 and the limiting member 32. During the separation of the base 3 from the first wall hanging member 1, the connection between the first hanging plate 111 and the second hanging plate 112 abuts against the second abutting surface 322, and the end contact surface 311 abuts against the upper surface of the second hanging plate 112 to restrict the hook part 11 from coming out of the hanging groove 31. By applying force to the base 3, the connection between the first hanging plate 111 and the second hanging plate 112 presses the limiting member 32 together and causes elastic deformation, thereby enabling the base 3 to detach from the first wall hanging member 1.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 Specifically, both the first abutment surface 321 and the second abutment surface 322 are inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The inclination angle of the first abutment surface 321 relative to the horizontal plane is α, and the inclination angle of the first abutment surface 321 relative to the horizontal plane is β, where 20°≤α≤25° and 35°≤β≤40°. In this embodiment, the value of α is 24° and the value of β is 36°. In some embodiments of this application, the value of α is any one of 20°, 21°, 22°, 23°, and 25°, and the value of β is any one of 35°, 37°, 38°, 39°, and 40°. By ensuring that 20°≤α≤25°, it is easier for the hook part 11 to extend into the hanging groove 31. By ensuring that 35°≤β≤40°, it is easier for the hook part 11 to disengage from the hanging groove 31.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 When the hook portion 11 extends into the hanging groove 31, the maximum gap distance between the limiting portion 323 and the lower surface of the second hanging plate 112 is S, where 0.1mm ≤ S ≤ 0.5mm. In this embodiment, the value of S is 0.3mm. In this embodiment, and in some embodiments of this application, the value of S is any one of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.5. By changing the value of S, the degree of deformation required of the limiting member 32 when the hook portion 11 is disengaged from the hanging groove 31 can be controlled, thereby reducing the occurrence of the base 3 being accidentally disengaged from the first wall-mounting member 1 due to external force.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The suspension structure also includes a second wall-mounting member 2 and a locking device (not shown in the figure). The second wall-mounting member 2 is detachably connected to the first wall-mounting member 1. Two second wall-mounting members 2 are provided, spaced apart along a first direction. Specifically, the first wall-mounting member 1 has a recessed mounting groove 13 that slides with the second wall-mounting member 2. Multiple sets of first mounting holes 14 are formed at the bottom of the mounting groove 13. The second wall-mounting member 2 has at least one set of second mounting holes 21. In this embodiment, both the first mounting holes 14 and the second mounting holes 21 are set to two sets, spaced apart along a second direction. The second wall-mounting member 2 can slide within the mounting groove 13 along the second direction so that each second mounting hole 21 is aligned with any set of first mounting holes 14. The locking device passes through the first mounting holes 14 and the second mounting holes 21 and locks the first wall-mounting member 1 and the second wall-mounting member 2.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second wall-mounting component 2 includes a locking part 22 extending in a third direction. The locking part 22 has a locking hole 221. One side of the base 3 is integrally formed with a locking block 33 that can extend into the locking hole 221 and engage with the locking part 22. The locking block 33 has a guide surface 331 connected to the side of the locking block 33 near the locking part 22 and the side of the locking block 33 away from the hanging groove 31. Specifically, the guide surface 331 connects the side of the locking block 33 facing away from the third direction and the side of the locking block 33 facing away from the second direction. The guide surface 331 facilitates the locking block 33 engaging with the locking hole 221.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5When the engaging block 33 is engaged in the engaging hole 221, the height difference H between the lowest point of the hole wall on the side of the engaging hole 221 away from the guide surface 331 and the side of the engaging block 33 away from the hanging groove 31 is 2mm≤H≤2.5mm. In this embodiment, the value of H is 2.3mm. In some embodiments of this application, the value of H is any one of 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.4mm, and 2.5mm. By ensuring that 2mm≤H≤2.5mm, the engaging block 33 can be kept engaged in the engaging hole 221, thereby reducing the occurrence of the base 3 accidentally detaching from the first wall-mounting member 1 due to external force.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction is the length direction of the base 3, the second direction is the width direction of the base 3, and the third direction is the thickness direction of the base 3.

[0045] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the suspension structure described above. Since the air conditioner has the aforementioned suspension structure, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned suspension structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
