Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a blower fixing structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] The air outlet filter is an important component of an air conditioner, mainly used to regulate and distribute the air blown out by the air conditioner.

[0003] After the air outlet is installed on the air conditioner chassis, the bottom of the air outlet is supported by the support ribs on the air conditioner chassis, and the air outlet is restricted by the air conditioner front frame. However, the air conditioner front frame needs to be removed during disassembly, assembly, and maintenance. This makes it easy for the air outlet to fall off the chassis during disassembly, assembly, and maintenance, causing inconvenience to the staff and potentially damaging the air outlet. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and to provide a blower fixing structure and an air conditioner.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5 One embodiment of this utility model provides a blowout grid fixing structure, comprising:

[0037] Air conditioner housing 10;

[0038] Air outlet 20 is installed on the air conditioner housing 10;

[0039] The fixing member 30 is movably mounted on the air conditioner housing 10 and can move relative to the air conditioner housing 10 to a fixed position and an open position. When the fixing member 30 is moved to the fixed position, it abuts against the air outlet grille 20 to restrict the position of the air outlet grille 20 relative to the air conditioner housing 10. The fixing member 30 can tightly restrain the air outlet grille 20 on the air conditioner housing 10, making it less likely to fall off the air conditioner housing 10 during disassembly and maintenance, improving the stability of the air outlet grille 20 assembly, and making disassembly and maintenance more convenient and safer for workers. When the fixing member 30 is moved to the open position, it releases the restriction on the air outlet grille 20, at which point the air outlet grille 20 can be disassembled for easy disassembly and maintenance.

[0040] In one embodiment, the air conditioner housing 10 includes a chassis and a front frame. The front frame is detachably fitted to the chassis. The air outlet 20 is disposed on the chassis. The fixing member 30 abuts against the air outlet 20 and stably restricts the air outlet 20 to the chassis. When the front frame is removed from the chassis, the air outlet 20 remains stably installed and is not easy to shake or fall off.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the fixing member 30 is provided with a first slot 31, and the blow-out grille 20 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 21. When the fixing member 30 moves to the fastened position, the first slot 31 and the snap-fit ​​part 21 are detachably engaged, thereby allowing the fixing member 30 and the blow-out grille 20 to be detachably engaged. The fixing member 30, by connecting with the air conditioner housing 10 and the blow-out grille 20, ensures a stable assembly of the three components. Of course, in other embodiments, when the fixing member 30 moves to the fastened position, the fixing member 30 can also be detachably fixed to the air conditioner housing 10, preventing the fixing member 30 from moving. The fixing member 30 presses the blow-out grille 20 against the air conditioner housing 10, thereby limiting the position of the blow-out grille 20.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is a first rotating shaft portion, which rotatably engages with the air conditioner housing 10. The shape of the first snap-fit ​​groove 31 is adapted to the shape of the first rotating shaft portion, and the first rotating shaft portion rotatably engages with the first snap-fit ​​groove 31. The first snap-fit ​​groove 31 has a first snap-fit ​​inlet 32, the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion. Due to the smaller width of the first snap-fit ​​inlet 32, the first rotating shaft portion is confined in the first snap-fit ​​groove 31 and is difficult to detach, thus realizing the detachability between the fastener 30 and the blow-out grille 20. Since the blow-out grille 20 usually needs to rotatably engage with the air conditioner housing 10, the blow-out grille 20 is usually provided with a first rotating shaft portion. By utilizing the snap-fit ​​engagement between the first rotating shaft portion and the first snap-fit ​​groove 31, it is not necessary to design a separate structure on the blow-out grille 20 to match the first snap-fit ​​groove 31, which helps to simplify the structure of the blow-out grille 20.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided with a plurality of first hollow grooves 22. The first hollow grooves 22 can reduce the thickness of the snap-fit ​​portion 21 at the corresponding position, which is beneficial to the injection molding of the snap-fit ​​portion 21.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the end of the fastener 30 is provided with a handle 33, which can be used to pry the fastener 30 to facilitate operation of the fastener 30 to separate the first slot 31 of the fastener 30 from the snap-fit ​​part 21, thereby releasing the connection between the fastener 30 and the blow-out grid 20.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the fastener 30 is rotatably engaged with the air conditioner housing 10, thereby facilitating the movement of the fastener 30 to either the open or the fastened position. In other embodiments, the fastener 30 may also be slidably engaged with the air conditioner housing 10, with the fastener 30 sliding relative to the air conditioner housing 10 to achieve movement to the open or fastened position.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner housing 10 is provided with a second rotating shaft portion 11, and the fixing member 30 is provided with a second slot 34. The second slot 34 is detachably engaged with the second rotating shaft portion 11, and the second slot 34 is rotatably engaged with the second rotating shaft portion 11. The second slot 34 has a second slot inlet 35, the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the second rotating shaft portion 11. Because the width of the second slot inlet 35 is smaller, the second rotating shaft portion 11 is confined in the second slot 34 and is difficult to detach, thereby realizing the detachable design between the fixing member 30 and the air conditioner housing 10 and the rotatable design of the fixing member 30.

[0047] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, the second rotating shaft portion 11 is provided with a plurality of second hollow grooves 12. The second hollow grooves 12 can reduce the thickness of the corresponding position of the second rotating shaft portion 11, which is beneficial to the injection molding of the snap-fit ​​portion 21.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the fixing member 30 is provided with a limiting rib 36. When the fixing member 30 moves to the open position, the limiting rib 36 engages with the air conditioner housing 10 to limit the movement of the fixing member 30, thereby preventing the fixing member 30 from moving further and facilitating the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the air outlet 20 by the staff.

[0049] The aforementioned air outlet fixing structure can be applied to an air conditioner, which includes: an air outlet fixing structure as described above.

[0050] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
