[0023] The preferred embodiments of the application are described below in combination with the drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the application, and are not used to limit the application.

[0024] The temperature and humidity module quick dismounting structure described in the embodiment is applied to the air conditioning equipment with air inlet 100, and aims to realize the convenient replacement and effective protection of the temperature and humidity sensor. Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the structure mainly includes the shell 20 with the temperature and humidity sensor 10 built-in.

[0025] In the present embodiment, the air conditioning device can be an air purifier, a dehumidifier or a humidifier. Such a device is usually provided with an air inlet 100 for sucking in air to be treated. Specifically, the air inlet 100 can be an air inlet grille on the outer shell of the air conditioning device body, which itself can serve as a detachable primary filter screen 101, allowing air to flow freely while preliminarily filtering dust, hair and other large-particle impurities in the air.

[0026] The shell 20 can be made of ABS plastic or other materials to ensure sufficient strength and heat resistance. In actual implementation, the shell 20 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the air inlet 100 by buckling, insertion or screwing. The shell 20 is internally provided with a space for accommodating the temperature and humidity sensor 10, and is provided with an air flow passage 30 that communicates the air inlet 100 with the temperature and humidity sensor 10, ensuring that the air in the air inlet 100 can smoothly contact the sensing element of the temperature and humidity sensor 10, thereby achieving accurate temperature and humidity detection. In the present embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensor 10 can be a commercially available temperature and humidity sensor that is used to detect the temperature and humidity of the air and transmit the detection data to the control system of the air conditioning device, so that the control system can make corresponding adjustments according to the actual situation.

[0027] The temperature and humidity sensor 10 is integrated in the shell 20 to form a single temperature and humidity modular assembly with the shell 20. The modular shell 20 is detachably mounted in the air inlet 100 and located behind the primary filter screen 101. In this way, on the one hand, the primary filter screen 101 can preliminarily filter impurities and dust in the air, thereby reducing interference with the sensitivity of the temperature and humidity sensor 10 and prolonging its service life; on the other hand, since the primary filter screen 101 is usually designed to be detachable and washable by the user, the maintainability and reliability of the temperature and humidity modular assembly are improved without affecting the overall disassembly of the air conditioning device body shell.

[0028] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The shell 20 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22, and the temperature and humidity sensor 10 is fixed between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22. The upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 are both provided with air flow passages 30. Specifically, the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 can be connected together by buckling to facilitate disassembly. The inner side of the upper cover 21 is provided with a positioning column and / or a positioning groove to be fixed on the upper cover 21 by the positioning column and / or the positioning groove, and the inner side of the lower cover 22 is also provided with a corresponding positioning structure to cooperate with the positioning structure of the upper cover 21 to firmly clamp the temperature and humidity sensor 10 in the middle. When the temperature and humidity sensor 10 needs to be replaced, the user or the maintenance personnel only need to remove the primary filter screen 101, and then pry the buckles between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 by a tool to separate the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, take out the temperature and humidity sensor 10 for replacement, which is simple and convenient.

[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The inner wall of the air inlet 100 is provided with a socket 103, and the lower cover 22 is provided with elastic buckles 221 adapted to be buckled with the opening edge of the socket 103. The lower cover 22 is adapted to be inserted into the socket 103, so that the elastic buckles 221 are detachably buckled with the opening edge of the socket 103. In a specific embodiment, the socket 103 is provided on the inner top wall of the air inlet 100. When installing the temperature and humidity module, the lower cover 22 is aligned with the socket 103, and then the lower cover 22 is inserted into the socket 103 with light force. During the insertion process, the elastic buckles 221 are located on the side of the lower cover 22, usually two or more, symmetrically distributed, and the elastic buckles 221 have a certain elasticity and toughness, which are inwardly contracted under the extrusion of the edge of the socket 103. When the lower cover 22 is completely inserted into the socket 103, the hooks of the elastic buckles 221 automatically pop open and are clamped with the edge of the socket 103, thereby firmly fixing the shell 20 in the air inlet 100.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 The edge of the lower cover 22 is provided with a notch 222, which cooperates with the socket 103 to form an operating space for external tools such as a flathead screwdriver to pry. The presence of the notch 222 provides a fulcrum for the flathead screwdriver, reduces the difficulty of disassembly, and can avoid unintended disassembly methods. Specifically, the pulling force of the shell 20 when disassembled by external tools is greater than 5N.

[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The air inlet 100 is provided with a positioning table 102 in contact with the inner side of the primary filter screen 101, which serves to support and position the primary filter screen 101. The socket 103 at least partially extends to the positioning table 102 to form a side opening 104, and the lower cover 22 has a side portion 223 adapted to be positioned in the side opening 104. The inner side of the primary filter screen 101 is pressed against the side portion 223 of the lower cover 22. In this way, the primary filter screen 101 presses the side portion 223 of the lower cover 22, which is equivalent to adding a fixing measure, improving the stability of the temperature and humidity module installation, and preventing it from loosening or falling off during use.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The air flow channel 30 at least partially extends to the side portion 223. Extending the air flow channel 30 to the side portion 223 is equivalent to increasing the total area of the air flow channel 30, allowing more air to flow through the temperature and humidity sensor 10, improving the accuracy and response speed of the measurement.

[0033] The temperature and humidity module quick dismounting structure provided by the embodiment is formed by integrating the temperature and humidity sensor in the shell to form a separate module, and the module is detachably installed on the inner side of the outer shell of the air conditioning equipment body and the primary filter screen, so that the replacement operation of the temperature and humidity sensor can be quickly and conveniently completed only by using a simple tool without dismounting the equipment shell, the maintenance difficulty and time cost are significantly reduced, the maintenance efficiency is improved, the equipment damage risk caused by the complex dismounting process is avoided, the sensor replacement by non-professional users is made possible, the use experience of the users is improved, and the market competitiveness of the product is improved.
