[0023] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Please refer toFigure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an outdoor unit front panel structure for an air conditioner includes a front panel 1, an air outlet on the front panel 1, a protective net 2 at the air outlet, vertical grooves 3 on both the left and right sides of the air outlet, the protective net 2 sliding up and down between the two vertical grooves 3, and a locking device on the vertical groove 3 for locking the protective net 2 so that the protective net 2 remains in the state of blocking the air outlet.
[0025] Based on the above structure, firstly, vertical grooves 3 are set on both the left and right sides of the air outlet. The protective net 2 slides up and down between the two vertical grooves 3. Thus, when installing and removing the protective net 2, the protective net 2 can be directly inserted into the vertical groove 3 or pulled out of the vertical groove 3, which facilitates disassembly and cleaning.
[0026] In addition, a locking device is provided on the vertical slide 3. The locking device is used to lock the protective net 2, so that the protective net 2 is kept in the state of blocking the air outlet, thereby improving the stability and safety of the protective net 2 after installation.
[0027] A limiting flange 91 is provided on the lower side of the air outlet to prevent the protective net 2 from falling downwards.
[0028] See Figures 3-4 As shown, the locking device includes a housing 21 located at the upper end of the protective net 2. Locking rods 22 are inserted into the housing 21 on both the left and right sides. A locking hole 23 is provided on the vertical sliding groove 3. The locking rods 22 can move outward and be inserted into the locking hole 23. That is, when the locking rods 22 move outward and are inserted into the locking hole 23, the protective net 2 can be locked. Similarly, when the locking rods 22 are disengaged from the locking hole 23, the protective net 2 can be pulled upward directly.
[0029] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 31 is provided inside the housing 21 and located between the two locking rods 22. A transmission device is connected between the rotating shaft 31 and the locking rods 22. The transmission device can drive the locking rods 22 to move left and right by rotating the rotating shaft 31.
[0030] The transmission device includes cylinders 41 at both ends of the rotating shaft 31. A helical wave surface 42 is provided at the outer end of the cylinder 41. A limit ring 43 is provided on the locking rod 22. A spring 44 is sleeved on the locking rod 22. One end of the spring 44 abuts against the limit ring 43, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the housing 21. The inner end of the locking rod 22 is kept abutting against the helical wave surface 42 under the action of the spring 44.
[0031] A handle 51 is arranged on the rotating shaft 31 and extends out of the shell 21.
[0032] When the protective screen 2 is located in the vertical sliding groove 3, the handle 51 is flipped down and attached to the front side of the protective screen 2, the rotating shaft 31 drives the cylinder 41 and the helical inclined surface 42 to rotate, the helical inclined surface 42 pushes the locking rod 22, thereby driving the locking rod 22 to move outward and insert into the locking hole 23 (as shown in Figure 4 illustrated), and the locking is realized; similarly, when the locking is needed to be released, the handle 51 is flipped outward, the rotating shaft 31 rotates and drives the cylinder 41 and the helical inclined surface 42 to rotate, then the locking rod 22 is kept against the helical inclined surface 42 under the action of the spring 44, thereby the locking rod 22 extends out of the locking hole 23, and the releasing is realized.
[0033] It is worth mentioning that when the releasing is in the state, the handle 51 is in the upward state, thereby the protective screen 2 can be pulled out and cleaned conveniently.
[0034] Referring to Figure 2 illustrated, the handle 51 comprises vertical rods 61 which are spaced apart on the rotating shaft 31, and a connecting rod 62 which is connected to the outer ends of the vertical rods 61.
[0035] Further, a first U-shaped buckle 71 is arranged on the protective screen 2, and the vertical rods 61 can be clamped into the first U-shaped buckle 71.
[0036] Further, a second U-shaped buckle 81 is arranged on the front panel 1, and the vertical rods 61 can be clamped into the second U-shaped buckle 81.
[0037] Therefore, the handle 51 can be fixed conveniently through the arrangement of the first U-shaped buckle 71 and the second U-shaped buckle 81.
[0038] The above-mentioned is only the embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, and any equivalent structure or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields is also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
