In the following description, the same drawings refer to the same elements or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0042] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the directional terms "first direction, second direction and third direction" refer to three intersecting directions, for example, can be referred to as shown in Figure 1 The directional terms used, such as "inner, outer", refer to the inner and outer of the specific structure profile, and the terms used, such as "first, second", are only for distinguishing one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important meanings, and in addition, the plural in the present application refers to two or more and includes two.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 6As shown, the air conditioning equipment provided by the present disclosure comprises an equipment shell 1 and at least one filter screen structure 2, the equipment shell 1 is formed with at least one air inlet 10, and the filter screen structure 2 covers the air inlet 10. Wherein, the filter screen structure 2 is provided with at least one hook 3, the equipment shell 1 is provided with at least one rod 4 at the air inlet 10, and the rod 4 can be clamped with the at least one hook 3; and / or, the equipment shell 1 is provided with at least one hook 3 at the air inlet 10, and the filter screen structure 2 is provided with at least one rod 4, and the rod 4 can be clamped with the at least one hook 3.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the clamping design between the hook 3 and the rod 4 ensures that the filter screen structure 2 can be clamped on the equipment shell 1, and the operator does not need to perform the next step of fastening installation by hand. The clamping design effectively improves the convenience of installation and avoids the risk of falling of the filter screen structure 2. From the perspective of disassembly, the cooperation of the rod 4 and the hook 3 also facilitates the disassembly of the operator, which can facilitate the cleaning or replacement of the filter screen structure 2.

[0046] Wherein, it needs to be noted that the above-mentioned hook 3 can be provided on the equipment shell 1, can be provided on the filter screen structure 2, or both. For the rod 4, it can be provided on the equipment shell 1, can be provided on the filter screen structure 2, or both. The present disclosure does not limit this. In addition, for the clamping cooperation of the rod 4 and the hook 3, one rod 4 can be clamped with one hook 3, or multiple hooks 3 can be clamped. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0047] In a specific application scenario, the above-mentioned air conditioning equipment can be a ducted air conditioner, but the present disclosure does not limit the specific type of air conditioning equipment.

[0048] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioning equipment can further comprise a support frame 11 connected to the equipment shell 1 and arranged around the air inlet 10; the support frame 11 comprises a first support rod 111 and a second support rod 112 located on both sides of the air inlet 10, and the rod 4 is connected between the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112; the filter screen structure 2 comprises a filter screen frame 21, and the filter screen frame 21 is provided with at least one hook 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, firstly, the clasp 3 on the filter screen frame 21 can be clamped with the rod 4, and the operator can easily complete the installation and disassembly of the filter screen through a simple clamping action. This design significantly reduces the operation complexity and improves the user experience. Secondly, the clamping between the rod 4 and the clasp 3 on the filter screen frame 21 ensures that the filter screen structure 2 will not easily loosen or fall off during installation, realizes the pre-positioning of the filter screen structure 2, and facilitates the subsequent fastening and installation of the filter screen structure 2. In addition, the rod 4 is connected between the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112, and the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112 are arranged on both sides of the air inlet 10, so that the rod 4 can effectively improve the structural strength at the air inlet 10 and avoid deformation at the air inlet 10.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the rod 4 extends along the first direction A and is arranged at the air inlet 10; the filter screen frame 21 includes a first frame beam 211 and a second frame beam 212, and the first frame beam 211 and the second frame beam 212 are oppositely and spacedly arranged in the first direction A; the first frame beam 211 is provided with at least one clasp 3; and / or, the second frame beam 212 is provided with at least one clasp 3.

[0051] That is, the operator can easily align the first frame beam 211 and / or the second frame beam 212 with the clasp 3 to the rod 4 for installation, and make the clasp 3 clamped with the rod 4 through a simple sliding action. This design simplifies the installation process of the filter screen structure 2. In addition, the position and number of the rod 4 can be adjusted according to different models or sizes of air conditioning equipment, and the clasp 3 can be selected to be arranged on the first frame beam 211, the second frame beam 212, or both, thereby increasing the universality and adaptability of the product.

[0052] Optionally, at least one rod 4 is clamped with one clasp 3 arranged on the first frame beam 211, and one clasp 3 arranged on the second frame beam 212.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first frame beam 211 and the second frame beam 212 are both provided with the clasp 3, so that the filter screen structure 2 can be clamped with the rod 4 on both sides at the same time, greatly enhancing the stability of the installation of the filter screen structure 2 and reducing the possibility of loosening.

[0054] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the first frame beam 211 and / or the second frame beam 212 is provided with a sliding groove 5 in the second direction B; the rod member 4 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 5 along the third direction C, the clamping hook 3 is arranged along the third direction C and located at one end of the sliding groove 5 along the third direction C, and is arranged opposite to part of the sliding groove 5 along the second direction B, so as to clamp the rod member 4 in the sliding groove 5 along the second direction B; wherein the first direction A, the second direction B and the third direction C are arranged to intersect with each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, first, the design of the sliding groove 5 allows the rod member 4 to slide in the third direction C, ensuring accurate positioning when installing the filter screen frame 21. The user only needs to align the rod member 4 with the sliding groove 5 and push it in the third direction C until the clamping hook 3 clamps it, and the whole process is simple to operate.

[0056] Secondly, since the clamping hook 3 is located at one end of the sliding groove 5, the operator can complete the installation or disassembly of the filter screen structure 2 through a simple sliding action without the need for additional tools, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0057] Moreover, through the cooperation of the sliding groove 5 and the clamping hook 3, the rod member 4 is limited in the second direction B, while its stability in the third direction C is ensured. This double positioning design greatly enhances the stability of the filter screen structure 2.

[0058] In addition, the design of the sliding groove 5 allows the rod member 4 to adjust the position within a certain range, and different models or sizes of air conditioning equipment can be adapted to different widths of rod members 4 by adjusting the position and length of the sliding groove 5, improving the universality and adaptability.

[0059] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, the inner surface of the clamping hook 3 includes a planar section 31 and an inclined section 32 connected to each other; the planar section 31 extends in the plane defined by the first direction A and the third direction C, and the side of the planar section 31 away from the inclined section 32 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 5; the inclined section 32 is arranged obliquely relative to the planar section 31 and gradually away from the bottom wall of the sliding groove 5 in the direction away from the planar section 31.

[0060] In this embodiment, the design of the inclined section 32 plays an important guiding role. When the user pushes the rod member 4 into the sliding groove 5, the inclined section 32 can smoothly guide the rod member 4 to be clamped with the planar section 31 of the clamping hook 3, facilitating the installation operation. In addition, when the rod member 4 is clamped with the clamping hook 3, the side surface of the rod member 4 along one side of the second direction can abut against the bottom wall of the sliding groove 5, and the side surface of the rod member 4 along the other side of the second direction can abut against the planar section 31, ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0061] Optionally, the length of the hook 3 extending in the third direction C is a first size, the length of the rod 4 extending in the third direction C is a second size, and the length of the sliding groove 5 extending in the third direction C is a third size; wherein the first size is not greater than the second size, and the sum of the first size and the second size is less than the third size. Since the first size of the hook 3 is not greater than the second size of the rod 4, it is ensured that the rod 4 can smoothly pass through the sliding groove 5 and be clamped with the hook 3. This size design makes the user not need to accurately align during installation, reduces the operation difficulty, and improves the installation efficiency. The design that the sum of the first size and the second size is less than the third size ensures that the rod 4 has sufficient activity space after installation, avoiding the problem that it is difficult to disassemble due to too tight size. At the same time, the hook 3 can stably clamp the rod 4 to prevent it from accidentally falling off.

[0062] For example, the first size is between 6mm and 15mm, the second size is between 15mm and 17mm, and the third size is between 35mm and 50mm. However, the specific size of the first size, the second size and the third size is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0063] In addition, the hook 3 described above is integrally formed on the filter screen frame 21. Since the hook 3 is integrally formed with the filter screen frame 21, there is no additional connection point or joint in the whole structure, which significantly enhances the overall structure and mechanical strength. This not only improves the durability of the hook 3, but also reduces the risk of loosening or breaking due to long-term use or vibration.

[0064] Wherein, for the rod 4 described above, when the rod 4 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 10, the structural strength of the air inlet 10 of the equipment shell 1 can be significantly improved, and the deformation of the air inlet 10 can be avoided.

[0065] In addition, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the air conditioning equipment further comprises at least two air suction fans 6, the air suction fans 6 are arranged in the third direction C, and the air suction fans 6 are arranged opposite to the air inlet 10; the rod 4 is arranged at the air inlet 10 in the first direction A, and in the third direction C, the rod 4 is located between the adjacent two air suction fans 6; wherein, the first direction A and the third direction C are arranged intersectingly.

[0066] In this embodiment, the rod member 4 is located between two adjacent air suction fans 6, avoiding direct obstruction of the airflow by the rod member 4, reducing the generation of airflow turbulence and vortex, and improving the smoothness of the airflow; secondly, the rod member 4 extends along the first direction A and is arranged at the air inlet 10, providing additional mechanical support and enhancing the overall structural stability of the air inlet 10 area. In particular, during the operation of the air conditioning equipment, this design helps to resist vibration and impact caused by airflow; in addition, by arranging the rod member 4 between two adjacent air suction fans 6, the stress can be effectively dispersed, avoiding local stress concentration, and further enhancing the durability and reliability of the structure.

[0067] For example, the air suction fan 6 described above can be provided as three, and the rod member 4 described above can be provided as two.

[0068] Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the disclosure that are deemed to fall within the general principles of the disclosure and include commonly known or customary practice in the art. The specification and examples are to be regarded as illustrative only and the true scope and spirit of the disclosure is indicated by the following claims.
