Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, such as a sub-cabin and air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the widespread use of air conditioning products, users' functional demands for air conditioning equipment are also increasing, and new air conditioning products with functions such as air purification, sterilization, and humidification have emerged. However, whether it is a wall-mounted air conditioner or a floor-standing air conditioner, the installation location of its indoor unit is mostly fixed, and its air outlet coverage and air outlet method are also limited accordingly. There are dead corners in the room, and it is impossible to achieve air treatment throughout the entire room. The actual application effect of functions such as indoor humidification and purification is not good.

[0003] In light of the above, relevant air conditioning manufacturers have developed an air conditioning model that combines a main unit and a sub-unit. This type of air conditioner mainly consists of a main unit and a sub-unit. The sub-unit is a standalone module with auxiliary functions such as purification and humidification. The sub-unit is detached from the main unit and can move, thereby enabling various types of air treatment for spaces far from the main unit. Furthermore, the sub-unit can also be housed within the sub-unit compartment of the main unit and work in conjunction with the main unit to perform air treatment operations.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] The base of the air conditioning unit needs to meet certain strength standards to support the air conditioning unit, so the base itself has a certain thickness. This requires the air conditioning unit to have the ability to climb slopes when entering and exiting the cabin. However, the existing air conditioning units are mostly set up with flat and smooth board surfaces for entering and exiting the cabin, which can easily cause the air conditioning unit to slip or collide with the air conditioning unit body when climbing or going down slopes.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0056] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0057] This application discloses a sub-cabin 100, which can be used for small to medium-sized single-unit mobile devices, and specifically can be used as a housing space for such single-unit mobile devices, thereby serving to protect the device and interconnect functional modules (with the air conditioning unit). Optionally, the types of single-unit mobile devices include, but are not limited to, sweeping robots, food delivery robots, warehouse robots, air conditioning sub-units, etc. Furthermore, the sub-cabin 100 can be used as a separate sub-unit housing or integrated into other equipment (such as an air conditioner).

[0058] The specific configuration of the sub-cabin 100 of this application will be described in detail below with reference to an optional embodiment. In this embodiment, the sub-cabin 100 adopts an integrated design with the air conditioning main unit 700, that is, the sub-cabin 100 can be regarded as a component of the air conditioning main unit 700 body.

[0059] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, the sub-component compartment 100 provided in this embodiment includes at least a compartment body 110 and a base 200. The compartment body 110 is the main body of the sub-component compartment 100, and its internal structure includes a compartment space for accommodating the air conditioning sub-unit 800. The base 200 is the chassis of the sub-component compartment 100, located at the bottom of the compartment body 110. The base 200 and the compartment body 110 together enclose the aforementioned compartment space, and the base 200 serves to support the compartment body 110 and the air conditioning sub-unit 800 housed within it.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sub-cabin 100 includes a top plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a back plate. The top plate is located at the top of the sub-cabin 110; the first and second side plates are located on the left and right sides of the sub-cabin 110, respectively, with their upper edges connected to the corresponding side edges of the top plate; the back plate is located at the rear of the sub-cabin 110, with its upper edge connected to the rear edge of the top plate, its left edge connected to the rear edge of the first side plate, and its right edge connected to the rear edge of the second side plate. Thus, the top plate, first side plate, second side plate, and back plate together form a semi-enclosed shell with open front and bottom sides, serving as the cabin space for housing the air conditioning sub-unit 800.

[0061] Additionally, the base 200 is located at the bottom of the cabin 110 and is connected to the corresponding lower edges of the first side plate, the second side plate and the back plate of the aforementioned cabin 110. It can close the bottom opening of the cabin 110, thus leaving only the front opening of the cabin 110, which can be used as the hatch for the air conditioning sub-unit 800 to enter and exit the cabin.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, the sub-company 100 also includes a hatch 410 for opening and closing the hatch. When the air conditioning sub-unit 800 is housed in the compartment 110, the hatch 410 is closed so that the air conditioning sub-unit 800 is in a relatively enclosed compartment space, which serves to protect the air conditioning sub-unit 800 from dust.

[0063] Optional, combined Figure 2 As shown, the upper edge of the hatch 410 is pivotally connected to the upper edge of the hatch opening, and it can rotate up and down in the vertical plane; at the same time, the sub-cabin 100 also includes an opening and closing assembly 420, which is drivenly connected to the hatch 410 and is used to provide power for the opening and closing of the hatch 410, so as to realize the operation of opening or closing the hatch opening of the hatch 410.

[0064] In this embodiment, the opening / closing assembly 420 includes an opening / closing motor and a drive linkage. One end of the drive linkage is pivotally connected to the opening / closing motor, and the other end is connected to the side edge of the hatch 410. By rotating the opening / closing motor, the linkage can be driven to rotate outward or inward, thereby pushing the hatch 410 to open or close the hatch. Optionally, there are two sets of opening / closing motors and drive linkages, respectively located on the first side plate and the second side plate of the hull 110, so that the hatch 410 can be driven simultaneously by two sets of opening / closing motors and drive linkages, reducing the occurrence of situations such as deflection or jamming during the opening and closing of the hatch 410.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the overall outer contour of the base 200 is a flat frustum shape, which includes a base top surface 211, a base bottom surface 212, and a base outer peripheral surface 213. The base outer peripheral surface 213 is set on the outer peripheral side of the base 200 with an inclined surface. The area of ​​the base top surface 211 is smaller than the area of ​​the base bottom surface 212. This makes the center of gravity of the base 200 closer to the bottom, which results in high stability and better support for the cabin 110 and the air conditioning sub-unit 800.

[0066] To enable the air conditioner unit 800 to enter and exit the cabin 110 more smoothly and stably, in this embodiment, the unit cabin 100 also includes a track assembly 300. The track assembly 300 is laid on the base 200 and can cooperate with the wheels 810 of the air conditioner unit 800 to assist in driving the air conditioner unit 800 from outside the cabin into the cabin, or to assist in moving the air conditioner unit 800 from inside the cabin to outside the cabin. Compared with the smooth plate-like form of the entry and exit path of the unit in the prior art, the contact surface between the track assembly 300 and the air conditioner unit 800 in this embodiment is larger and the friction is higher, which can reduce the occurrence of wheel slippage of the air conditioner unit 800. In addition, the auxiliary driving function of the track assembly 300 can also make the air conditioner unit 800 enter and exit the cabin more quickly and stably.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the track assembly 300 includes a conveyor belt 310 and a driver (not shown). The conveyor belt 310 serves as the carrier of the air conditioning unit 800 and is configured as the path for the air conditioning unit 800 to enter and exit the cabin. The air conditioning unit 800 can enter and exit the cabin by cooperating with the conveyor belt 310. The driver serves as the power component of the track assembly 300. The driver is driven to the conveyor belt 310 to drive the conveyor belt 310 to rotate cyclically. For example, the driver can drive the conveyor belt 310 to circulate along the entry direction to assist the air conditioning unit 800 in entering the cabin 110, or drive the conveyor belt 310 to circulate along the exit direction to assist the air conditioning unit 800 in moving out of the cabin 110.

[0068] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 310 includes a belt body and support rollers (not shown in the figure). The overall outer contour of the belt body is approximately flat and loop-shaped, and its length extends from the hatch of the compartment 110 to the interior of the compartment 110. Figure 1 The middle belt extends into the compartment 110 near the back panel to ensure that the air conditioning unit 800 can move along the entry path constructed by the conveyor belt 310 to a position where it is fully contained by the compartment 110. Here, the upper surface of the belt is the surface that directly contacts the wheels of the air conditioning unit 800. There are multiple support rollers, which are spaced apart along the length of the belt within the annular space of the conveyor belt 310 and abut against the upper surface of the conveyor belt 310. The support rollers can support the upper surface of the belt, thereby ensuring that the belt has sufficient load-bearing capacity for the air conditioning unit 800.

[0069] Combination Figure 4 As shown, along the length of the conveyor belt 310, the conveyor belt 310 may include a connected sloping section 321 and a horizontal section 322. The sloping section 321 is located on the side closest to the hatch. Specifically, the sloping section 321 is the portion of the conveyor belt 310 corresponding to the outer peripheral surface 213 of the aforementioned base, and serves as the path segment from the bottom surface 212 to the top surface 211 of the base in the route of the air conditioning unit 800 entering and exiting the cabin. The sloping section 321 extends obliquely upwards from outside the cabin to inside, and its surface forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, which is less than or equal to 8°, to ensure the stability of the air conditioning unit 800 during uphill and downhill processes and prevent it from tipping over. Furthermore, the horizontal section 322 is located on one side inside the cabin 110. Here, the horizontal section 322 is provided on the top surface 211 of the base 200 and extends from the hatch side away from the back plate of the cabin 110. At the same time, since the conveyor belt 310 is in a ring shape, the horizontal section 322 is connected end to end with the high end of the slope section 321. Specifically, the upper belt surfaces of the horizontal section 322 and the slope section 321 above the support roller space are connected to each other, and the lower belt surfaces below the support roller space are connected to each other. When the air conditioner unit 800 is housed inside the cabin 110, the air conditioner unit 800 is placed on the horizontal section 322.

[0070] In some embodiments, to improve the smoothness of conveying the air conditioner unit 800 to the conveyor belt 310 and reduce the occurrence of wheel slippage of the air conditioner unit 800, resistance grooves 330 are formed on the surface of the conveyor belt 310, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the resistance groove 330 can increase the contact area between the conveyor belt 310 and the wheel, and enhance the contact friction between the two, so that the air conditioning unit 800 can enter and exit the cabin more smoothly.

[0071] Optionally, the resistance groove 330 is recessed from the surface of the conveyor belt 310, and the resistance groove 330 extends perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 310 (i.e., parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 310). Alternatively, the surface of the conveyor belt 310 has multiple raised resistance ribs, each resistance rib extending perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 310, and the groove formed by two adjacent resistance ribs constitutes the aforementioned resistance groove 330.

[0072] In this embodiment, the number of resistance grooves 330 formed on the conveyor belt 310 is multiple. The multiple resistance grooves 330 are arranged sequentially along the belt length direction of the conveyor belt 310 to ensure that during the cyclic conveying process of the conveyor belt 310, the wheels of the air conditioner unit 800 and any part of the belt surface have a better frictional resistance effect.

[0073] Optionally, the width of the resistance groove 330 is in the range of 0.5mm to 5mm, and / or the depth of the resistance groove 330 is in the range of 0.5mm to 5mm.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the number of conveyor belts 310 is one.

[0075] In another optional embodiment, the number of conveyor belts 310 is two, including a first conveyor sub-belt 311 and a second conveyor sub-belt 312, which are laid side by side and parallel to each other on the base 200, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the first conveyor belt 311 is laid near the first side plate, and the second conveyor belt 312 is laid near the second side plate. In this way, the first conveyor belt 311 and the second conveyor belt 312 can respectively cooperate with the wheels 810 on both sides of the air conditioning unit 800 to jointly assist in driving the air conditioning unit 800 in and out of the cabin 110.

[0076] In this embodiment, the driver assembly includes a drive roller and a drive motor. The drive roller is driven by the drive motor and can rotate around its axis under the drive of the drive motor. The drive roller is positioned within the annular space of the conveyor belt 310, for example, at both ends of the annular space of the conveyor belt 310. The drive roller is in frictional contact with the conveyor belt 310, and during its rotation, it can drive the conveyor belt 310 to rotate as well, thereby realizing the cyclic conveying action of the conveyor belt 310.

[0077] In the embodiments of the two conveyor belts 310 shown above, optionally, the drive motor is a dual-axis motor with two output shafts. The two output shafts can respectively drive a first drive roller and a second drive roller, wherein the first drive roller is used to drive the first conveyor sub-belt 311, and the second drive roller is used to drive the conveyor sub-belt. In this way, by adopting a dual-axis motor, this embodiment can reduce the number of motors and reduce manufacturing costs, while also utilizing the synchronous rotation characteristics of dual axes to ensure synchronous rotation of the two conveyor belts 310.

[0078] In some embodiments, a track channel 220 is recessed in the base 200, the track channel 220 being used to accommodate the conveyor belt 310 of the aforementioned track assembly 300, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the track channel 220 extends from the front edge of the base 200 to a position near the back plate of the cabin 110. Here, the conveyor belt 310 is disposed within the track channel 220, and the surface of the conveyor belt 310 is slightly lower than the upper edge of the track channel 220 (top surface 211 of the base). In this way, the left and right side walls of the track channel 220 can guide and limit the air conditioning unit 800, reducing the occurrence of deviation from direction during the entry and exit of the air conditioning unit 800.

[0079] In the embodiments of the two conveyor belts 310 shown above, optionally, the track channel 220 includes a first sub-channel and a second sub-channel, which are arranged parallel to each other on the base 200. The first sub-channel is used to accommodate the first conveyor sub-belt 311, and the second sub-channel is used to accommodate the second conveyor sub-belt 312. Optionally, the dual-axis motor used in the above embodiments can be installed in the space between the first and second sub-channels, improving the compactness of the fitting of related components on the base 200.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, the sub-cabin 100 also has the function of charging and powering the air conditioning sub-unit 800 to ensure the endurance of the air conditioning sub-unit 800 when operating outside the cabin. Here, the sub-cabin 100 includes a recharge port 510, which is disposed on the inner wall of the cabin 110 and can be used to connect with the charging port of the air conditioning sub-unit 800 itself to achieve the purpose of charging the air conditioning sub-unit 800. Figure 3 As shown, the recharge port 510 is located on the back panel of the cabin 110. When the air conditioning unit 800 enters the cabin and moves to the parking position, the recharge port 510 and the charging port are connected to enable the charging operation of the air conditioning unit 800; when the air conditioning unit 800 leaves the cabin and leaves the aforementioned parking position, the recharge port 510 and the charging port are disconnected to enable the power-off operation of the air conditioning unit 800.

[0081] In this embodiment, an additional track assembly 300 is added to assist the air conditioner sub-unit 800 in entering the cabin. To prevent the air conditioner sub-unit 800 from entering the cabin too quickly, which could lead to misalignment or collision between the recharge port 510 and the charging port, an elastic washer 520 is provided on the recharge port 510. The elastic washer 520 protrudes from the recharge port 510 towards the hatch opening. Therefore, during the charging process of the air conditioner sub-unit 800 entering the cabin, the charging port of the air conditioner sub-unit 800 first makes elastic contact with the elastic washer 520, and then connects with the recharge port 510 for charging. In this way, the elastic washer 520 can provide elastic buffering during the connection process between the recharge port 510 and the air conditioner sub-unit 800, reducing the impact force on the air conditioner sub-unit 800 and effectively ensuring the service life of the port.

[0082] Optionally, the elastic washer 520 is made of flexible or elastic materials such as foam and rubber, which has good elastic deformation and cushioning effect.

[0083] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the recharge port 510 of the sub-cabin 100 is racetrack-shaped, circular, or square. Correspondingly, the elastic washer 520 is also constructed to be similarly racetrack-shaped, circular, or square. Furthermore, the elastic washer 520 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the recharge port 510 to avoid interference with the docking of the recharge port 510 and the charging port.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments, the sub-cabin 100 and the air conditioning sub-unit 800 are spatially positioned using sensors to achieve entry operations. Here, the sub-cabin 100 includes a positioning sensor 610, which is located at the front of the base 200, for example, in the space between the first and second sub-channels in the previous embodiment. The positioning sensor 610 can communicate with the air conditioning sub-unit 800 to calibrate its position. In this embodiment, positioning the positioning sensor 610 at the front of the base 200 allows for a wider range of angles for transmitting and receiving positioning signals, thus improving positioning accuracy.

[0085] Optionally, the positioning sensor 610 is an infrared sensor, which has the function of emitting infrared signals and / or receiving infrared signals.

[0086] In some alternative embodiments, the air conditioning unit 800 is also equipped with a laser sensor, which can be used to detect obstacles in the path of the air conditioning unit 800 and to locate the main air conditioning unit 700. Correspondingly, the unit compartment 100 also includes a positioning sensor 620, which is affixed to the outer wall of the compartment 110 and is configured to reflect the positioning signal emitted by the air conditioning unit 800.

[0087] Here, the positioning sensor 620 has a high reflectivity, which can efficiently reflect the laser signal emitted by the laser sensor of the air conditioner sub-unit 800, making it easier for the air conditioner sub-unit 800 to receive the reflected laser signal, and making it convenient for the air conditioner sub-unit 800 to determine the relative position, distance and other information with the sub-unit compartment 100.

[0088] Optionally, the positioning sensor sticker 620 is affixed to the hatch 410 or above the hatch 410.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, this application also provides an air conditioner, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner includes a main unit 700 and a sub-unit 800. Here, the main unit 700 includes a main unit body 710 and a sub-unit compartment 100 as described in the previous embodiment. The sub-unit compartment 100 is integrated on the main unit body 710, and the sub-unit 800 can be controlled to move into / out of the sub-unit compartment 100.

[0090] For example, Figure 6 The air conditioner shown is a floor-standing air conditioner with a rectangular (or cylindrical) body extending vertically. The lower space of the body can serve as a sub-cabin 100 for housing the air conditioner sub-unit 800.

[0091] And optional, combined Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner sub-unit 800 is equipped with one or more functional modules to realize one or more additional functions, thereby enhancing the practicality and functional versatility of the air conditioner sub-unit 800. Optionally, the types of these functional modules include, but are not limited to, air supply modules, air purification modules, humidity control modules, temperature control modules, and fragrance modules.
