Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical appliances, and in particular to a guide-type installation structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, air conditioner control panels are typically installed by directly attaching the lens using small positioning points or by manual alignment. However, this method lacks an effective positioning mechanism, making it prone to lens misalignment during installation and resulting in inaccurate fit between the lens and the housing. Specifically, this manifests as uneven gaps between the lens window and the housing window, which negatively impacts the product's aesthetic appearance. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a guide-type installation structure and air conditioner to address the problem of difficult positioning of air conditioner control panels.

[0004] A guide-type installation structure includes: a housing assembly having a mounting groove; a positioning member disposed on the housing assembly; a mounting housing disposed on the housing assembly with a portion of the mounting housing located in the mounting groove, the side of the mounting housing abutting against the positioning member; a guide member disposed on the mounting housing and adjacent to the positioning member; and an adhesive member sandwiched between the housing assembly and the mounting housing.

[0005] The above-disclosed guide-type installation structure enhances installation accuracy by setting mounting slots and positioning elements on the housing assembly, combined with the guide elements. During installation, the housing is installed along the direction of the positioning elements using the guide elements, allowing it to move along a predetermined path when placed in the mounting slot. This ensures the housing is accurately positioned on the housing assembly, reducing deviations during installation. This guiding effect not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces rework rates due to improper installation, thus saving production costs. Compared to traditional installation alignment methods, where the housing is installed directly using small positioning points or manually aligned, this can lead to ineffective positioning of the housing when installed on the housing assembly, resulting in misalignment. If adjustments are needed, the adhesive must be removed for readjustment, leading to unevenness during reinstallation, affecting the product's appearance, and potentially causing uneven gaps between the lens and the housing assembly. The guide-type installation structure of this application effectively avoids these problems, improving the overall aesthetics and consistency of the product. Furthermore, the use of adhesive ensures structural stability and also provides a sealing effect. The adhesive component, sandwiched between the housing assembly and the mounting housing, not only enhances the bond strength between them but also prevents the intrusion of dust and moisture, improving the product's durability and reliability. This sealing performance is particularly important for products like air conditioning control panels, which are exposed to complex environments for extended periods. Therefore, the guided mounting structure of this application, through precise positioning and guiding design, significantly improves the installation accuracy and efficiency of air conditioning control panels. Simultaneously, the use of the adhesive component not only enhances the structural stability but also improves the product's sealing performance. These improvements not only enhance product quality and reliability but also reduce production costs, demonstrating broad application prospects and market value.

[0006] In one embodiment, multiple positioning elements are arranged circumferentially along the mounting groove. By arranging multiple positioning elements circumferentially along the mounting groove, uniform positioning support is provided for the mounting housing, ensuring balanced force distribution when the mounting housing is placed in the mounting groove and avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by single-point positioning. This multi-point positioning method significantly improves installation accuracy, making the gap between the mounting housing and the outer shell assembly more uniform, thus improving the product's appearance quality and user experience. Secondly, the multiple circumferentially arranged positioning elements enhance the stability of the installation process. During installation, the mounting housing can move smoothly along the guide path of the multiple positioning elements, reducing installation deviations caused by improper manual operation or external interference. This design not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces rework rates due to installation errors, thereby saving time and production costs. Simultaneously, through multi-point fixing, the connection between the mounting housing and the outer shell assembly is more robust, better able to withstand external impacts or vibrations, and improves the product's durability and reliability.

[0007] In one embodiment, there are multiple guide members arranged circumferentially along the mounting housing, and multiple positioning members, with each guide member corresponding to one of the positioning members. This one-to-one correspondence between the guide members and positioning members ensures precise guidance and positioning of the mounting housing on the outer shell assembly. This one-to-one correspondence design makes the installation process smoother, avoids installation deviations caused by inaccurate guidance, significantly improves installation efficiency and accuracy, reduces rework rates due to improper installation, and saves time and costs. Secondly, the circumferentially arranged guide members and positioning members can evenly distribute the force, ensuring the mounting housing remains balanced and stable during installation. This design not only reduces deformation or displacement caused by uneven force at a single point but also enhances the overall structural stability, enabling the product to better withstand external impacts or vibrations during long-term use, thus improving durability and reliability.

[0008] In one embodiment, the housing assembly and the positioning element are integrally molded. By integrally molding the housing assembly and the positioning element, the fitting accuracy between the positioning element and the housing assembly is improved, thereby ensuring accurate positioning of the mounting housing. Furthermore, it enhances the overall strength and stability of the assembly. Since there are no seams or connection points between the housing assembly and the positioning element, the impact resistance and durability of the overall structure are significantly improved, enabling it to better withstand external vibrations or pressures and extending the product's service life. Simultaneously, the integral molding design simplifies the installation process, reduces assembly steps, and improves production efficiency.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting housing and the guide are integrally molded. By integrally molding the mounting housing and the guide, the fit accuracy between the guide and the mounting housing is improved, thereby ensuring accurate positioning and smooth guidance of the mounting housing on the housing assembly. Secondly, the integrally molded structure enhances the strength and stability of the overall assembly. Since there are no seams or connection points between the mounting housing and the guide, the impact resistance and durability of the overall structure are significantly improved, enabling it to better withstand external vibrations or pressures and extending the product's service life. Furthermore, the integrally molded design simplifies the installation process, reduces assembly steps, and improves production efficiency. This design not only reduces the complexity of manual operation but also reduces quality problems caused by improper assembly, further improving product reliability and consistency.

[0010] In one embodiment, the positioning member has a first positioning side and a second positioning side. The first positioning side abuts against a portion of the sidewall of the mounting housing, and the second positioning side is adjacent to the guide member. Both the first and second positioning sides have chamfers. By abutting the first positioning side against the sidewall of the mounting housing, precise positioning support is provided for the mounting housing, ensuring its stability during installation and preventing offset or tilting. The second positioning side, adjacent to the guide member, further enhances the stability of the mounting housing during the guiding process, allowing the mounting housing to move smoothly along the predetermined path of the positioning member, thus improving installation accuracy. Furthermore, the chamfer design on both positioning sides not only reduces frictional resistance between the mounting housing and the positioning member but also avoids scratches or damage caused by sharp edges. The chamfer design makes the installation process smoother, reduces installation difficulty, and reduces wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the positioning member and the mounting housing. Moreover, the chamfer design also improves the safety and operability of the component. During installation, operators can more easily install the mounting housing into the outer casing assembly, reducing installation errors or component damage caused by improper operation.

[0011] In one embodiment, the guide member has a guide side, which is adjacent to the second positioning side. The angle formed by the guide side and the sidewall of the mounting housing is the same as the angle formed by the first and second positioning sides. This adjacent arrangement of the guide side and the second positioning side ensures that the mounting housing can move smoothly along a predetermined path during installation, avoiding installation deviations caused by inaccurate guidance. This design significantly improves installation accuracy, making the gap between the lens assembly and the housing assembly more uniform, thus enhancing the product's appearance and user experience. Secondly, the angle formed by the guide side and the sidewall of the mounting housing is the same as the angle formed by the two positioning sides of the positioning member. This symmetrical design ensures more even force distribution on the mounting housing during installation, making the installation process smoother and reducing deformation or displacement caused by uneven force, thus maintaining the product's aesthetics. This design not only enhances the stability of the installation process but also improves the overall structural robustness, enabling the product to better withstand external impacts or vibrations during long-term use, improving durability and reliability. Simultaneously, this symmetrical design simplifies installation operations, reduces reliance on manual precision, and minimizes the possibility of human error. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces rework rates due to improper installation, thereby saving time and costs.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mounting housing includes a mounting body and a lens assembly. The mounting body is disposed on the housing assembly, and the lens assembly is disposed on the mounting body. The lens assembly is located in the mounting groove. Multiple guide members are arranged circumferentially along the mounting body, and one end face of the adhesive member is disposed on the mounting body. By placing the lens assembly in the mounting groove, accurate positioning can be achieved through the cooperation between the mounting body and the housing assembly, avoiding the lens misalignment problem common in traditional manual alignment methods, thus improving the product's appearance quality and consistency. Secondly, the multiple guide members arranged circumferentially along the mounting body provide uniform guiding support, ensuring balanced force during installation and avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by single-point force. This design not only improves installation accuracy but also enhances the stability of the installation process, reducing rework rates due to improper installation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs. The adhesive member's one end face being disposed on the mounting body ensures a strong bond between the mounting body and the housing assembly, while also acting as a seal to prevent dust and moisture intrusion, improving the product's durability and reliability.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting body has a mounting side and a mounting bottom. A portion of the mounting side abuts against the housing assembly, while the remaining portion of the mounting side is adjacent to the housing assembly. The lens assembly is disposed on the mounting bottom surface, and one end face of the adhesive is disposed on the mounting bottom surface and surrounds the lens assembly. By utilizing the design of the mounting side abutting against the housing assembly, stable support is provided for the mounting body, ensuring accurate positioning during installation and avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by unstable installation. Simultaneously, the remaining portion of the mounting side being adjacent to the housing assembly provides an appropriate gap for the mounting body, facilitating installation and reducing wear due to friction. Furthermore, the lens assembly is disposed on the mounting bottom surface and fixed by the adhesive. This design not only ensures a secure installation of the lens assembly but also prevents dust and moisture intrusion through the sealing effect of the adhesive, improving the product's durability and reliability. The way the adhesive surrounds the lens assembly further enhances the sealing effect, making it particularly suitable for products such as air conditioning control panels that need to be exposed to complex environments for extended periods. Therefore, it can be seen that the combined design of the mounting body and lens assembly has significant advantages in improving installation accuracy, enhancing sealing performance, and simplifying installation operations.

[0014] In one embodiment, the lens assembly includes a limiting body and a lens. The limiting body is disposed on the mounting body and adjacent to the housing assembly. The limiting body is located in the mounting groove, and the lens is disposed on the limiting body. By placing the limiting body adjacent to the housing assembly, stable support and precise positioning are provided for the lens assembly. This avoids the problem of insufficient space in the housing assembly causing the lens assembly to be difficult to install, resulting in adhesive parts being stuck in the wrong position. Re-installation of the adhesive parts would then damage them, affecting not only the bonding strength but also the appearance of the lens, thus impacting the final product quality. Simultaneously, this gap reduces friction between the lens assembly and the housing assembly, reducing wear caused by friction and extending the lifespan of the lens assembly. Furthermore, the limiting body, located in the mounting groove, further ensures accurate positioning of the lens assembly through the constraint of the mounting groove, making the gap between the lens and the housing assembly more uniform, improving the product's appearance and user experience. Moreover, the lens, disposed on the limiting body, maintains the flatness and stability of the lens through the supporting action of the limiting body, preventing deformation or damage caused by external forces. The combined design of the limiting body and guide component simplifies the installation process of the housing, reduces the reliance on operational precision, and reduces the possibility of human error. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the rework rate caused by improper installation, thereby saving time and costs.

[0015] In one embodiment, the housing assembly includes a housing sidewall and a limiting housing. The housing sidewall surrounds the limiting housing, the mounting housing is disposed on the limiting housing, and the adhesive member's end face away from the mounting housing is disposed on the limiting housing. The limiting housing has the mounting groove. By surrounding the limiting housing with the housing sidewall, a robust frame structure is formed, providing a solid protective barrier for the internal components, effectively resisting external collisions and impacts, and reducing damage to internal precision parts. The mounting housing is disposed on the limiting housing; this direct connection method ensures the accuracy and stability of installation, reduces assembly errors between components, and makes the overall structure of the equipment more compact. One end of the adhesive member is connected to the mounting housing, and the other end is disposed on the limiting housing, further enhancing the connection strength between the two, preventing loosening during equipment operation, ensuring stable equipment operation, and also increasing the sealing strength between the two. Good sealing can prevent dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the interior of the mounting structure, reducing corrosion of precision parts, extending the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the stable operation and reliable performance of the air conditioner. The limiting housing is equipped with mounting grooves, which provide precise positioning space for other components, facilitating the installation and fixing of various parts and helping to improve the overall assembly efficiency and performance stability of the equipment.

[0016] In one embodiment, the adhesive component has a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface. The first adhesive surface is disposed on the mounting housing, and the second adhesive surface is disposed on the outer casing assembly. By tightly adhering the first adhesive surface to the mounting housing and firmly attaching the second adhesive surface to the outer casing assembly, this double-sided adhesive method greatly enhances the connection strength between the mounting housing and the outer casing assembly. Compared with ordinary connection methods, it can more effectively prevent components from loosening due to factors such as vibration and temperature changes during air conditioner operation, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, these two precisely positioned adhesive surfaces further optimize the sealing effect, and a good seal can also resist the intrusion of impurities such as dust and moisture, preventing corrosion of the precision components inside the air conditioner, extending the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the air conditioner.

[0017] The second aspect of this application discloses an air conditioner, which includes: the above-described guide-type installation structure; and an air conditioner body, wherein the guide-type installation structure is disposed on the air conditioner body.

[0018] The second aspect disclosed above discloses an air conditioner that facilitates installation by setting a guide-type installation structure on the air conditioner body. The guide-type installation structure makes the installation of the housing more convenient and quick, and will not cause rework and waste due to the adhesive being accidentally stuck to the wrong position of the housing component during the installation process, nor will it affect the appearance of the product due to repeated adjustments of the installation position.

[0037] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] The following describes some embodiments of the guide-type installation structure and air conditioner of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, this embodiment discloses a guide-type installation structure, including: a housing assembly 1, the housing assembly 1 having a mounting groove 101; a positioning member 2, the positioning member 2 being disposed on the housing assembly 1; a mounting housing 3, the mounting housing 3 being disposed on the housing assembly 1 with a portion of the mounting housing 3 located in the mounting groove 101, and the side of the mounting housing 3 abutting against the positioning member 2; a guide member 4, the guide member 4 being disposed on the mounting housing 3 and adjacent to the positioning member 2; and an adhesive member 5, the adhesive member 5 being sandwiched between the housing assembly 1 and the mounting housing 3.

[0042] This application discloses a guided installation structure. By setting an installation groove 101 and a positioning element 2 on the housing assembly 1, and further enhancing the installation accuracy by combining the setting of a guide element 4, the installation housing 3 is installed along the setting direction of the positioning element 2 using the guide element 4. This allows the installation housing 3 to move along a predetermined path when placed in the installation groove 101, ensuring that the installation housing 3 can be accurately positioned on the housing assembly 1 and reducing deviations during the installation process. This guiding effect not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces the rework rate caused by improper installation, thereby saving production costs. Compared with the traditional installation alignment method, which directly installs the installation housing 3 through small positioning points or by manual alignment, the installation housing 3 may not be effectively positioned when installed on the housing assembly 1, resulting in the installation housing 3 being misaligned. If adjustment is required, the adhesive 5 must be torn off for readjustment, leading to unevenness during reinstallation, affecting the product appearance, and potentially causing uneven gaps between the lens 322 and the housing assembly 1. The guided installation structure of this application effectively avoids the above problems and improves the overall aesthetics and consistency of the product. Meanwhile, the use of adhesive component 5 ensures structural stability while also providing a seal. Adhesive component 5, sandwiched between the outer casing assembly 1 and the mounting housing 3, not only enhances the bonding strength between the two but also prevents the intrusion of dust and moisture, improving the product's durability and reliability. This sealing performance is particularly important for products like air conditioning control panels that are exposed to complex environments for extended periods. Therefore, the guided installation structure of this application, through precise positioning and guiding design, significantly improves the installation accuracy and efficiency of air conditioning control panels. Furthermore, the use of adhesive component 5 not only enhances structural stability but also improves the product's sealing performance. These improvements not only enhance product quality and reliability but also reduce production costs, demonstrating broad application prospects and market value.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of positioning members 2 is multiple, and the multiple positioning members 2 are arranged circumferentially along the mounting groove 101. By arranging multiple positioning members 2 circumferentially along the mounting groove 101, uniform positioning support is provided for the mounting housing 3, ensuring that the mounting housing 3 is subjected to balanced force when placed in the mounting groove 101, avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by single-point positioning. This multi-point positioning method significantly improves the installation accuracy, makes the gap between the mounting housing 3 and the outer shell assembly 1 more uniform, and improves the appearance quality and user experience of the product. Secondly, the multiple circumferentially arranged positioning members 2 enhance the stability of the installation process. During the installation process, the mounting housing 3 can move smoothly along the guide path of the multiple positioning members 2, reducing installation deviations caused by improper manual operation or external force interference. This design not only improves installation efficiency, but also reduces the rework rate caused by installation errors, thereby saving time and production costs. At the same time, through multi-point fixing, the connection between the mounting housing 3 and the outer shell assembly 1 is more robust, and it can better withstand external impacts or vibrations, improving the durability and reliability of the product.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: there are multiple guide members 4, which are arranged circumferentially along the mounting housing 3; and there are multiple positioning members 2, with each guide member 4 corresponding to one of the positioning members 2. This one-to-one correspondence between the multiple guide members 4 and the positioning members 2 ensures precise guidance and positioning of the mounting housing 3 on the outer shell assembly 1. This one-to-one correspondence design makes the installation process smoother, avoids installation deviations caused by inaccurate guidance, significantly improves installation efficiency and accuracy, reduces rework rates due to improper installation, and saves time and costs. Secondly, the circumferentially arranged multiple guide members 4 and positioning members 2 can evenly distribute the force, ensuring that the mounting housing 3 remains balanced and stable during installation. This design not only reduces deformation or displacement problems caused by uneven force at a single point but also enhances the overall structural stability, enabling the product to better withstand external impacts or vibrations during long-term use, thus improving durability and reliability.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the outer shell assembly 1 and the positioning member 2 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the outer shell assembly 1 and the positioning member 2, the fitting accuracy between the positioning member 2 and the outer shell assembly 1 is improved, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning of the mounting housing 3. Furthermore, it enhances the overall strength and stability of the assembly. Since there are no seams or connection points between the outer shell assembly and the positioning member, the impact resistance and durability of the overall structure are significantly improved, enabling it to better withstand external vibrations or pressures and extending the product's service life. Simultaneously, the integral forming design simplifies the installation process, reduces assembly steps, and improves production efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the mounting housing 3 and the guide member 4 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the mounting housing 3 and the guide member 4, the fitting accuracy between the guide member 4 and the mounting housing 3 is improved, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning and smooth guidance of the mounting housing 3 on the outer shell assembly 1. Secondly, the integrally formed structure enhances the strength and stability of the overall assembly. Since there are no seams or connection points between the mounting housing 3 and the guide member 4, the impact resistance and durability of the overall structure are significantly improved, enabling it to better withstand external vibrations or pressures and extending the product's service life. Furthermore, the integrally formed design simplifies the installation process, reduces assembly steps, and improves production efficiency. This design not only reduces the complexity of manual operation but also reduces quality problems caused by improper assembly, further improving the reliability and consistency of the product.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the positioning member 2 has a first positioning side 21 and a second positioning side 22. The first positioning side 21 abuts against a portion of the side wall of the mounting housing 3, and the second positioning side 22 is disposed adjacent to the guide member 4. Both the first positioning side 21 and the second positioning side 22 have chamfers. By abutting the first positioning side 21 against the side wall of the mounting housing 3, precise positioning support can be provided for the mounting housing 3, ensuring its stability during installation and avoiding offset or tilting problems. The second positioning side 22 is disposed adjacent to the guide member 4, further enhancing the stability of the mounting housing during the guiding process, enabling the mounting housing 3 to move smoothly along the predetermined path of the positioning member 2, and improving installation accuracy. Secondly, the chamfer design of both positioning sides not only reduces the frictional resistance between the mounting housing 3 and the positioning member 2, but also avoids scratches or damage caused by sharp edges. The chamfer design makes the installation process smoother, reduces the installation difficulty, and reduces wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the positioning member 2 and the mounting housing 3. Moreover, the chamfer design also improves the safety and operability of the components. During installation, operators can more easily install the mounting housing 3 into the housing assembly 1, reducing installation errors or component damage caused by improper operation.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the guide member 4 is provided with a guide side 41, the guide side 41 is arranged adjacent to the second positioning side 22, and the angle formed by the guide side 41 and the side wall of the mounting housing 3 is the same as the angle formed by the first positioning side 21 and the second positioning side 22. By arranging the guide side 41 and the second positioning side 22 adjacently, it is ensured that the mounting housing 3 can move smoothly along the predetermined path during installation, avoiding installation deviations caused by inaccurate guidance. This design significantly improves installation accuracy, makes the gap between the lens assembly 32 and the housing assembly 1 more uniform, and improves the appearance quality and user experience of the product. Secondly, the angle formed by the guide side 41 and the side wall of the mounting housing 3 is the same as the angle formed by the two positioning sides of the positioning member 2. This symmetrical design makes the mounting housing 3 more evenly stressed during installation, the installation process is smoother, and the deformation or displacement caused by uneven stress is reduced, ensuring the aesthetics of the product. This design not only enhances the stability of the installation process but also improves the overall structural robustness, enabling the product to better withstand external impacts or vibrations during long-term use, thus improving durability and reliability. Simultaneously, this symmetrical design simplifies installation operations, reduces reliance on manual precision, and minimizes the possibility of human error. This not only increases production efficiency but also reduces rework rates due to improper installation, thereby saving time and costs.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the mounting housing 3 includes a mounting body 31 and a lens assembly 32. The mounting body 31 is disposed on the outer shell assembly 1, and the lens assembly 32 is disposed on the mounting body 31. The lens assembly 32 is located in the mounting groove 101. Multiple guide members 4 are arranged circumferentially along the mounting body 31. One end face of the adhesive member 5 is disposed on the mounting body 31. By placing the lens assembly 32 in the mounting groove 101, accurate positioning can be achieved through the cooperation between the mounting body 3 and the outer shell assembly 1, avoiding the common problem of misaligned lens placement in traditional manual alignment methods, thus improving the appearance quality and consistency of the product. Secondly, the multiple guide members 4 arranged circumferentially along the mounting body 31 provide uniform guiding support for the mounting body 31, ensuring balanced force during installation and avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by single-point force. This design not only improves installation accuracy but also enhances the stability of the installation process, reduces rework rates due to improper installation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs. One end face of the adhesive 5 is set on the mounting body 31, which can ensure a firm bond between the mounting body 31 and the housing assembly 1, and at the same time play a sealing role to prevent dust and moisture from entering, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the product.

[0050] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the mounting body 31 has a mounting side surface 311 and a mounting bottom surface 312. A portion of the mounting side surface 311 abuts against the housing assembly 1, and the remaining portion of the mounting side surface 311 is disposed adjacent to the housing assembly 1. The lens assembly 32 is disposed on the mounting bottom surface 312, and one end face of the adhesive member 5 is disposed on the mounting bottom surface 312 and surrounds the lens assembly 32. By utilizing the design of the mounting side surface 311 abutting against a portion of the housing assembly 1, a stable support is provided for the mounting body 31, ensuring that it maintains accurate positioning during installation and avoiding offset or tilting problems caused by unstable installation. At the same time, the remaining portion of the mounting side surface 311 is disposed adjacent to the housing assembly 1, leaving an appropriate gap for the mounting body 31, which facilitates installation operations and reduces wear caused by friction. Secondly, the lens assembly 32 is disposed on the mounting bottom surface 311 and fixed around it by the adhesive member 5. This design not only ensures the firm installation of the lens assembly 32, but also prevents dust and moisture from entering through the sealing effect of the adhesive member 5, improving the durability and reliability of the product. The way the adhesive component 5 is positioned around the lens assembly 32 further enhances the sealing effect, making it particularly suitable for products such as air conditioning control panels that need to be exposed to complex environments for extended periods. Therefore, it can be seen that the combined design of the mounting body 31 and the lens assembly 32 offers significant advantages in improving installation accuracy, enhancing sealing performance, and simplifying installation operations.

[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the following: the lens assembly 32 includes a limiting body 321 and a lens 322. The limiting body 321 is disposed on the mounting body 31 and adjacent to the housing assembly 1. The limiting body 321 is located in the mounting groove 101, and the lens 322 is disposed on the limiting body 321. By disposing the limiting body 321 adjacent to the housing assembly 1, stable support and precise positioning are provided for the lens assembly 32. This avoids the problem of insufficient space in the housing assembly 1 causing the lens assembly 32 to be misaligned during installation, resulting in the adhesive 5 being stuck in the wrong position. Re-installation would damage the adhesive 5, affecting not only the bonding strength but also the appearance of the lens 322, thus impacting the final product quality. Simultaneously, this gap reduces friction between the lens assembly 32 and the housing assembly 1, reducing wear caused by friction and extending the service life of the lens assembly 32. Meanwhile, the limiting body 321, located in the mounting groove 101, further ensures the accurate positioning of the lens assembly 32 through the constraint of the mounting groove 101, making the gap between the lens 322 and the housing assembly 1 more uniform, thus improving the product's appearance quality and user experience. Moreover, the lens 322, positioned on the limiting body 321, maintains its flatness and stability through the support of the limiting body 321, preventing deformation or damage caused by external forces. The combined design of the limiting body 321 and the guide member 4 simplifies the installation process of the housing 3, reduces reliance on operational precision, and minimizes the possibility of human error. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces rework rates due to improper installation, thereby saving time and costs.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the outer casing assembly 1 includes an outer casing sidewall 11 and a limiting housing 12. The outer casing sidewall 11 is disposed around the limiting housing 12. The mounting housing 3 is disposed on the limiting housing 12. The adhesive member 5 is disposed on one end face away from the mounting housing 3 on the limiting housing 12. The limiting housing 12 is provided with a mounting groove 101. By distributing the outer casing sidewall 11 around the limiting housing 12, a stable frame structure is formed, providing a solid protective barrier for the internal components, effectively resisting external collisions and impacts, and reducing damage to internal precision parts. The mounting housing 3 is disposed on the limiting housing 12. This direct connection method ensures the accuracy and stability of the installation, reduces assembly errors between components, and makes the overall structure of the equipment more compact. One end of the adhesive component 5 is connected to the mounting housing 3, and the other end is set on the limiting housing 12, further enhancing the connection strength between the two and preventing loosening during equipment operation, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, the adhesive component 5 also increases the sealing strength between the two. Good sealing can prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the interior of the mounting structure, reducing corrosion of precision components, extending the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the stable operation and reliable performance of the air conditioner. The limiting housing 12 is provided with a mounting groove 101, providing precise positioning space for other components, facilitating the installation and fixing of various components, and helping to improve the overall assembly efficiency and performance stability of the equipment.

[0053] like Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the adhesive component 5 has a first adhesive surface 51 and a second adhesive surface 52. The first adhesive surface 51 is disposed on the mounting housing 3, and the second adhesive surface 52 is disposed on the outer casing assembly 1. By tightly adhering the first adhesive surface 51 to the mounting housing 3 and firmly attaching the second adhesive surface 52 to the outer casing assembly 1, this double-sided adhesive method greatly enhances the connection strength between the mounting housing 3 and the outer casing assembly 1. Compared with ordinary connection methods, it can more effectively prevent components from loosening due to factors such as vibration and temperature changes during air conditioner operation, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, these two precisely positioned adhesive surfaces further optimize the sealing effect, and a good seal can also resist the intrusion of impurities such as dust and moisture, avoiding corrosion of the precision components inside the air conditioner, extending the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the air conditioner.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment discloses an air conditioner, including: the above-mentioned guide-type installation structure; and an air conditioner body, wherein the guide-type installation structure is disposed on the air conditioner body.

[0056] The second aspect of this application discloses an air conditioner that facilitates installation by setting a guide-type installation structure on the air conditioner body. The guide-type installation structure makes it easier and faster to install the housing 3, and will not cause rework and waste due to the adhesive 5 accidentally sticking to the wrong position of the housing component 1 during the installation process, nor will it affect the appearance of the product due to repeated adjustments of the installation position.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
