[0036] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are used to indicate the same or similar elements, unless otherwise represented. 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 apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0037] In the present disclosure, the directional term "first direction" used herein can refer to the first direction shown in the drawings, unless otherwise stated. Figure 1 The directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer of the specific structure profile, and the terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important meanings. In addition, the plural in the present application refers to two or more and includes two.
[0038] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. 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.
[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The present disclosure provides an electric control cover plate assembly, which comprises a cover plate 1 and an emergency switch 2; the outer surface of the cover plate 1 is recessed to be provided with spaced switch grooves 11 and handhold grooves 12, the switch grooves 11 comprise mounting spaces 111 and handhold spaces 112, and the emergency switch 2 is detachably arranged in the mounting spaces 111; wherein the handhold grooves 12 and the handhold spaces 112 are configured as handhold positions of the cover plate 1.
[0040] It should be noted that the "handhold position" refers to: when the operator (such as a user) takes the cover plate 1, the fingers are inserted into the handhold grooves 12 and the handhold spaces 112, so as to facilitate the stable taking and other operations of the cover plate 1, and improve the convenience of operation.
[0041] In the above technical solution, firstly, the emergency switch 2 is detachably arranged on the cover plate 1 and installed in the switch groove 11, which saves the arrangement space and effectively reduces the cost, because even if the emergency switch 2 is damaged, only the emergency switch 2 needs to be replaced, without replacing the cover plate 1. Secondly, the switch groove 11 can be matched with the handle groove 12, that is, by matching the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12, the operator can more conveniently take the cover plate 1 by inserting the fingers into the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12 and exerting a certain force.
[0042] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the installation space 111 is located on the side of the handle space 112 away from the handle groove 12, and the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12 are arranged in a spaced and adjacent manner to form the handle rib 13 between the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12.
[0043] In this embodiment, the presence of the handle rib 13 increases the structural rigidity between the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12, prevents the cover plate from being deformed or damaged due to external force during use, and improves the durability and service life of the cover plate 1. In addition, the handle rib 13 is convenient for the operator to pinch and take, preventing the cover plate from falling during taking. Secondly, the installation space 111 is located on the side of the handle space 112 away from the handle groove 12, which ensures that when the operator takes the electric control cover plate assembly through the handle space 112 and the handle groove 12, the problem of accidental touch or misoperation of the emergency switch 2 can be effectively reduced.
[0044] Optionally, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the electric control cover plate assembly further comprises a first clamping portion 3, the first clamping portion 3 is arranged on the cover plate 1, and the bottom of the switch groove 11 is formed with an operation hole 110; the emergency switch 2 comprises a switch body 21, an operation key 22 and a second clamping portion 23, the operation key 22 is movably arranged on the switch body 21, and the second clamping portion 23 is arranged on the switch body 21; the operation key 22 is movably inserted into the operation hole 110, and the second clamping portion 23 is used for clamping with the first clamping portion 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, through the clamping cooperation between the first clamping part 3 and the second clamping part 23, a stable connection between the emergency switch 2 and the cover plate 1 is achieved. This clamping structure not only provides a reliable fixing method, but also allows the emergency switch 2 to be quickly detached when needed, facilitating maintenance or replacement. Secondly, the operation key 22 can move through the operation hole 110, and the user can directly press or rotate the operation key 22 to trigger the action of the emergency switch 2. This design simplifies the user's operation process, making it possible to respond quickly even in an emergency. In addition, the operation hole 110 limits the activity range of the operation key 22, which can only act under the trigger action, further reducing the risk of accidental triggering.
[0046] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the operation key 22 is pressingly arranged in the first direction A on the switch body 21 and is used to be movably inserted into the operation hole 110 in the first direction A; the second clamping part 23 is used to clamp with the first clamping part 3 to limit the emergency switch 2 from being separated from the switch slot 11 in the first direction A.
[0047] In this embodiment, first, through the clamping cooperation between the second clamping part 23 and the first clamping part 3, an effective locking structure is formed in the first direction A, preventing the emergency switch 2 from accidentally falling out of the switch slot 11 due to external force or vibration. Secondly, the operator only needs to apply force in the first direction A to press the operation key 22 and trigger the action of the emergency switch 2. This one-way operation simplifies the interaction process for the operator, making it possible to quickly and accurately complete the operation even in an emergency. In addition, since the operation key 22 is movably inserted into the operation hole 110 in the first direction A, it can ensure consistent and controllable operation each time, reducing the possibility of misoperation.
[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first clamping part 3 is arranged on the inner surface of the cover plate 1, and the bottom of the switch slot 11 is formed with a clamping hole 113, and the second clamping part 23 is used to pass through the clamping hole 113 to clamp with the first clamping part 3 in the first direction A.
[0049] The second clamping part 23 clamps with the first clamping part 3 on the inner surface of the cover plate 1, which ensures the firm installation of the emergency switch 2 on the cover plate 1. Even if subjected to external vibration or impact, the emergency switch 2 is not easy to fall off, providing higher installation stability. The emergency switch 2 can be inserted through the clamping hole 113 and automatically clamped with the first clamping part 3 by a simple insertion action. This way not only reduces the assembly complexity, but also improves the production efficiency.
[0050] Optionally, referring to Figure 3As shown, the second clamping part 23 includes a clamping arm 231 and a clamping hook head 232; the clamping arm 231 extends along the first direction A and is connected to the switch body 21, and the clamping hook head 232 is arranged at one end of the clamping arm 231 away from the switch body 21 along the first direction A; the first clamping part 3 includes a clamping block, and the clamping hook head 232 is used to pass through the clamping hole 113 to abut against the clamping block in the first direction A.
[0051] In this embodiment, the design of the clamping arm 231 allows users to intuitively align and insert the emergency switch 2, improving the user experience. When the emergency switch 2 is inserted, the clamping hook head 232 will pass through the clamping hole 113 and complete clamping with the clamping block, simplifying the assembly process. When replacement or maintenance is required, the user can easily remove the emergency switch 2 by applying appropriate force to disengage the clamping hook head 232 from the clamping block, facilitating subsequent operations. In addition, when the clamping hook head 232 correctly enters the clamping hole 113 and completes clamping with the clamping block, the user can feel a clear "click" sound or tactile feedback, confirming that the installation is in place.
[0052] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the operation key 22 includes at least one press elastic arm 221 and an operation key body 222, the operation key body 222 is arranged to extend along the first direction A, the press elastic arm 221 can elastically deform along the first direction A, and the press elastic arm 221 connects the operation key body 222 and the switch body 21.
[0053] Firstly, the design of the press elastic arm 221 allows the elastic arm 221 to return to its original state when the user presses the operation key body 222, thereby driving the operation key body 222 back to the initial position. This ensures automatic reset after each operation, improving the reliability and consistency of the operation. Secondly, the elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic arm 221 reduce the risk of the operation key 22 being stuck due to long-term use or external factors (such as dust and dirt), improving durability. In addition, the design of the press elastic arm 221 makes full use of the limited space, integrating the reset function into the operation key 22, without the need for additional reset springs or other components, simplifying the design of the structure.
[0054] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electric control cover plate assembly further includes a first positioning member 4, and the emergency switch 2 further includes a second positioning member 24 arranged on the switch body 21; wherein the first positioning member 4 and the second positioning member 24 can form a positioning cooperation.
[0055] The positioning cooperation between the first positioning member 4 and the second positioning member 24 can ensure that the emergency switch 2 is accurately aligned to the specified position during installation. This not only improves the installation accuracy, but also reduces the problem of functional failure or inconvenient operation caused by positional deviation.
[0056] For example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first positioning member 4 includes two first positioning plates 41, which are arranged in the switch slot 11 extending along the first direction A, and the two first positioning plates 41 are spaced apart to form positioning slots 410; the second positioning member 24 includes a second positioning plate 241 extending along the first direction A, which is used to be inserted into the positioning slot 410.
[0057] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the positioning groove 410 formed by the two first positioning plates 41 and the second positioning plate 241 ensures that the emergency switch 2 is accurately aligned to the designated position during installation, improving installation accuracy and reducing functional failures or operational inconveniences caused by positional deviations. Operators only need to insert the second positioning plate 241 into the positioning groove 410 to complete the approximate positioning, improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the tight cooperation between the positioning groove 410 and the second positioning plate 241 effectively prevents displacement of the emergency switch 2 during use, ensuring assembly stability even under external vibration or impact.
[0058] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the emergency switch 2 also includes a support portion 25, which is disposed on the switch body 21 to support the inner wall of the switch slot 11, thereby improving the stability of the emergency switch 2 installed in the switch slot 11. The support portion 25 can be constructed in any suitable shape and structure. For example, the support portion 25 can be arranged protruding along the first direction A and surrounding the operation key 22, thereby effectively supporting and protecting the operation key 22.
[0059] This disclosure also provides an air conditioning device, which includes a housing (not shown) and the aforementioned electrical control cover assembly; the housing has an opening, the electrical control cover assembly is disposed at the opening, and the emergency switch 2 is configured to trigger the electrical box of the air conditioning device to disconnect from power.
[0060] For example, in an emergency such as a fire, electrical leak, or other dangerous situation, the user can quickly press the emergency switch 2 to immediately cut off the power supply, prevent the accident from escalating, and protect the safety of people and property.
[0061] Emergency switch 2 is located on the electrical control cover assembly, at the opening of the equipment housing, making it easy for users to find and operate. Even in an emergency, users can quickly identify and press emergency switch 2, simplifying the operation process.
[0062] Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the disclosure being indicated by the following claims.
