Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall-mounted air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air guide plate assembly structure for an indoor air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional air conditioner indoor unit air guide plate installation involves first inserting one end of the air guide plate into the base bushing, then pulling the other end of the air guide plate forcefully to shorten its length through deformation, and finally inserting the right end of the air guide plate into the base motor bushing. This assembly method has the following problems: 1. Pulling the air guide plate is complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, affecting production rhythm and thus resulting in low production efficiency; 2. Pulling the air guide plate forcefully during installation can easily break it or cause severe deformation, making it impossible to return to its original state, which can damage the air guide plate and affect its structural integrity and service life. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air guide plate assembly structure for an air conditioner indoor unit, which simplifies the installation steps, improves installation efficiency, ensures the integrity of the air guide plate during installation, avoids damage, and thus improves the overall quality of the air conditioning product and the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An air guide plate assembly structure for an air conditioner indoor unit includes a female buckle and a male buckle that can be inserted into the female buckle; the female buckle is provided with an opening groove; the male buckle includes a base and an elastic body fixed to one end of the base and extending outward; the elastic body can be inserted into the opening groove from the groove opening; the elastic body includes a plurality of columns with one end fixed to the base and the other end suspended, and a contraction gap is provided between adjacent columns; a stop structure is provided between the opening groove and the elastic body, the stop structure including a stop groove and a limiting block inserted into the stop groove; one of the stop groove and the limiting block is provided on the groove wall of the opening groove, and the other is provided on the elastic body.

[0006] With the above structure, a quick connection is achieved through male and female snap-fit ​​connections, simplifying the installation process and ensuring the integrity of the air guide plate during installation, preventing damage. A contraction gap is provided between adjacent columns; this gap allows the elastomer to have a certain elastic deformation capacity, enabling it to rebound and support itself against the groove wall after being inserted into the opening slot, thus tightening the slot and preventing wobbling. Furthermore, a stop structure is provided between the opening slot and the elastomer, creating a stable connection and enabling synchronous rotation.

[0007] Preferably, the stop groove is disposed on the groove wall of the open groove, and the limiting block is disposed on the elastomer. This arrangement reduces the compression time of the elastomer, thereby increasing its service life.

[0008] Preferably, each column is provided with a limiting block, and the groove wall of the opening is also provided with a corresponding stop groove. By providing a limiting block and a stop groove on each column, the limiting is made more stable.

[0009] Preferably, the opening groove is an arc-shaped groove or a U-shaped groove, and the shape of the elastic body formed by the columns is similar to the shape of the opening groove. This similarity between the shape of the elastic body and the opening groove ensures the maximum contact area between the elastic body and the opening groove, thereby preventing shaking after installation.

[0010] Preferably, the opening groove is a U-shaped groove; two columns are provided, symmetrically arranged on the base; when the elastic body is inserted into the U-shaped groove, the two elastic bodies abut against different groove walls of the opening groove. Through this arrangement, the two groove walls of the U-shaped groove can guide the elastic body, and the pairing scheme of double columns, double limiting blocks, and double stop grooves not only increases the contact area but also improves the friction and stability of the connection, making the assembly structure more robust and reliable.

[0011] Preferably, each of the two uprights has an outwardly protruding limiting block on the side that abuts against the wall of the opening slot, and a stop groove is provided on the wall of the opening slot corresponding to the limiting block. This arrangement ensures that each upright is limited by the wall of the opening slot, thus making the engagement more secure.

[0012] Preferably, the two limiting blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the elastic body and located in the middle of it. This arrangement ensures balanced force distribution.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the U-shaped groove is provided with a positioning rib extending towards the opening of the U-shaped groove, and the positioning rib is inserted between the two columns. The positioning rib plays a role in accurately guiding the male buckle into the female buckle; at the same time, it can increase the force-bearing area between the male buckle and the female buckle when rotating.

[0014] Preferably, the positioning rib has a trapezoidal structure, with its maximum cross-section fixed to the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove. The trapezoidal structure of the positioning rib enhances the overall stability and durability of the structure, making the assembled structure more robust and durable.

[0015] Preferably, the female and male clips are installed between the air guide plate and the air conditioner base bushing, with the female clip fixedly installed on one and the male clip fixedly installed at the corresponding position on the other. This structure allows the air guide plate to be quickly installed onto the air conditioner base bushing, simplifying the installation process and ensuring the integrity of the air guide plate during installation.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model provides an air guide plate assembly structure for an air conditioner indoor unit. It solves the technical problems of complex installation of the air guide plate onto the air conditioner base bushing in the prior art, as well as the risk of damage and deformation of the air guide plate. This utility model simplifies the installation steps, improves installation efficiency, and ensures the integrity of the air guide plate during installation, avoiding damage, thereby improving the overall quality of the air conditioning product and the user experience.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientation of the air guide plate assembly structure of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model when it is working normally. They do not limit the orientation during storage and transportation, and only represent relative positional relationships, not absolute positional relationships.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, an air guide plate assembly structure for an air conditioner indoor unit includes a female clip 1 and a male clip 2 that can be inserted into the female clip 1. The female clip 1 and the male clip 2 are installed between the air guide plate 4 and the air conditioner base bushing, with the female clip 1 fixedly installed on one side and the male clip 2 installed at a corresponding position on the other. In this embodiment, the female clip 1 is installed on one side of the air guide plate 4, while the male clip 2 is fixedly installed on the air conditioner base bushing. The quick connection through the snap-fit ​​method of the male clip 2 and the female clip 1 simplifies the installation process and ensures the integrity of the air guide plate 4 during installation.

[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the female buckle 1 is provided with an opening groove 11, which is an arc-shaped groove or a U-shaped groove. The male buckle 2 includes a base 21 and an elastic body 22 fixed to one end of the base 21 and extending outward; the elastic body 22 can be inserted into the opening groove 11 from the groove opening; when the elastic body 22 is inserted into the opening groove 11, the female buckle 1 achieves a semi-enclosed state for the elastic body 22. The base 21 is a cylindrical structure, and the periphery of the cylindrical structure is provided with a flower-shaped limiting rib, which can be inserted and fixed into the air conditioner base bushing; when the air conditioner base bushing rotates under the drive of the motor, the base 21 will also rotate accordingly.

[0029] The elastic body 22 includes multiple columns, one end of which is fixed to the base 21 and the other end is suspended. A contraction gap is provided between adjacent columns; the contraction gap allows the elastic body 22 to have a certain elastic deformation capability. The shape of the elastic body 22, composed of columns, is similar to the shape of the opening groove 11. This design allows the elastic body 22 to spring back and support itself against the groove wall of the opening groove 11 after being inserted into it, thus tightening the opening groove 11 and preventing wobbling.

[0030] A stop structure is provided between the opening groove 11 and the elastic body 22. The stop structure includes a stop groove 111 and a limiting block 221 inserted into the stop groove 111. One of the stop groove 111 and the limiting block 221 is provided on the groove wall of the opening groove 11, and the other is provided on the elastic body 22. Through this design, a stop mechanism is cleverly set between the two. In this embodiment, the stop groove 111 is provided on the groove wall of the opening groove 11, while the limiting block 221 is provided on the elastic body 22.

[0031] Because the elastomer consists of multiple columns, a limiting block 221 is provided on each column to make the stopping effect more stable. The corresponding opening groove 11 also has multiple corresponding stopping grooves 111 on its groove wall. The limiting block 221 is provided along the surface of the column and extends outward from the direction of the base 21.

[0032] To enhance the directionality of the elastic body 22 when inserted into the opening groove 11, a U-shaped groove is preferred in this embodiment. The smooth walls of the U-shaped groove ensure smooth installation. Two columns are symmetrically arranged on the base 21. When the elastic body 22 is inserted into the U-shaped groove, the two elastic bodies 22 abut against different walls of the U-shaped groove. An outwardly protruding limiting block 221 is provided on the side of each column that abuts against the U-shaped groove wall, and a stop groove 111 is provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped groove corresponding to the limiting block 221.

[0033] To ensure balanced force distribution, the two limiting blocks 221 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the elastic body 22 and located in the middle of it.

[0034] When the male buckle 2 is slowly inserted into the female buckle 1, the elastic body 22 undergoes elastic deformation, thus smoothly entering the opening groove 11; the limiting block 221 slides in and locks into the stop groove 111, achieving a stable connection and locking the positions of the male buckle 2 and the female buckle 1. This design is not only simple and practical, but also greatly improves the stability of the assembly structure. When the male buckle 2 rotates with the air conditioner base bushing, the female buckle 1 also rotates under the action of the limiting block 221 and the stop groove 111.

[0035] Furthermore, a positioning rib 112 extending from the bottom of the U-shaped groove towards the opening of the groove is provided, and the positioning rib 112 is inserted between the two columns. The positioning rib 112 adopts a trapezoidal structure, and its maximum cross-section is fixed at the bottom of the U-shaped groove, which plays a role in accurately guiding the male buckle 2 into the female buckle 1. At the same time, the trapezoidal structure of the positioning rib 112 also enhances the overall stability and durability of the structure, making the assembled structure more robust and durable.

[0036] In terms of detailed design, the edges of the U-shaped groove are rounded. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, it effectively avoids potential injury to personnel or parts during installation, thus improving operational safety. At the same time, it can guide the elastomer 22 into the U-shaped groove.

[0037] This invention employs a pairing scheme of double columns, double limiting blocks 221, and double stop grooves 111. This design not only increases the contact area but also enhances the friction and stability of the connection, making the assembly structure more robust and reliable.

[0038] Installation procedure for mounting air guide plate 4 onto the air conditioner base bushing:

[0039] First, install one side of the air guide plate 4 into the base bushing (this step is the same as the original installation method). Then, align the opening groove 11 of the female buckle 1 at the other end of the air guide plate 4 with the elastic body 22. The two uprights of the elastic body 22 should be tightly attached to the two groove walls of the opening groove 11. Press the female buckle 1 to make the elastic body 22 snap into the opening groove 11 until the limiting block 221 snaps into the stop groove 111 and stops.

[0040] The application of this utility model in the assembly structure of an air conditioner indoor unit air guide plate makes the installation of the air guide plate 4 faster. Simply press the nut 1 to deform the elastic body 22, and then insert it into the opening groove of the nut 1. The double columns return to their original shape, and the assembly is complete. This saves installation time, improves installation efficiency, ensures the quality stability of the air guide plate itself, and will not damage the air guide plate.

[0041] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
