Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and specifically provides an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In most existing air conditioners, the pivots on both sides of the air guide plate are usually integrally formed with the air guide plate body. When users need to clean the air conditioner, they often need to bend the air guide plate to deform it before they can remove or install it onto the indoor unit. This not only causes a lot of inconvenience to users, but also easily leads to damage to the air guide plate after frequent installation and disassembly operations, thus shortening the service life of the air guide plate. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to at least solve the problem of inconvenient installation and removal of the air guide plate of the existing air conditioner.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising a frame, an air guide plate, and a rotating shaft module;

[0005] The frame is provided with a first connector, and the first connector is provided with a first connection hole;

[0006] The air guide plate is provided with a second connector and a snap-fit ​​component. The second connector is provided with a second connection hole, and the snap-fit ​​component is vertically disposed on the surface of the air guide plate and extends therefrom.

[0007] The rotating shaft module includes a sliding part and a rotating shaft body. The rotating shaft body is disposed on the sliding part, and the sliding part has spaced-apart insertion holes and snap-fit ​​holes. The insertion holes and the snap-fit ​​holes are radially connected, thus forming a sliding channel. During installation, as the rotating shaft module slides relative to the air guide plate, the snap-fit ​​member can slide along the sliding channel from the insertion hole to the snap-fit ​​hole and snap into the snap-fit ​​hole. Furthermore, the rotating shaft body can pass through and connect the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, so that the air guide plate can swing relative to the frame.

[0008] When installing the air guide plate in this air conditioner, the sliding part of the rotating shaft module is first inserted into the snap-fit ​​part on the air guide plate. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​part is inserted into the insertion hole of the rotating shaft module. Then, the air guide plate with the rotating shaft module is moved to the position where it connects to the frame, ensuring that the rotating shaft body is aligned with the first and second connecting holes. The entire rotating shaft module is then slid towards the second connecting piece until the rotating shaft body is inserted into the first and second connecting holes. During this process, the snap-fit ​​part moves smoothly from the insertion hole to the snap-fit ​​hole along the sliding channel, making the sliding process of the sliding module smoother and providing a limiting function. This ensures that the air guide plate is securely installed on the air conditioner frame, and the air guide plate can rotate relative to the frame. The entire installation process does not require deformation of the air guide plate; disassembly is the reverse of installation. The operation is simple and quick, effectively improving assembly efficiency and extending the service life of the air guide plate.

[0009] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the diameter of the plug hole is greater than or equal to the diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0010] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, there are multiple snap-fit ​​holes, and the multiple snap-fit ​​holes are connected in sequence in the radial direction.

[0011] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the snap-fit ​​component is a flexible snap-fit ​​component.

[0012] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the sliding part is further provided with a first mating deformation hole communicating with the insertion hole; and / or

[0013] The sliding part also has a second mating deformation hole that communicates with the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0014] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, at least a portion of at least one sidewall of the sliding part is recessed inward to form a plurality of deformation notches.

[0015] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the air guide plate is provided with a support member, the support member has a plane, and the sliding part is slidably disposed on the plane.

[0016] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the supporting member and the air guide plate are integrally formed or connected as an integral structure.

[0017] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the rotating shaft module, the first connector, the second connector, and the snap-fit ​​connector together constitute a connection structure, and the connection structure is one or more sets.

[0018] In some feasible embodiments of the air conditioner described above, the connection structure consists of two sets, arranged in directions opposite or away from each other. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides an air conditioner comprising a housing 4, a frame 1, an air guide plate 2, and a rotating shaft module 3. The housing 4 is provided with an air outlet, the frame 1 is installed inside the housing 4, the air guide plate 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 through the rotating shaft module 3, and the air guide plate 2 has a closed position to which the air outlet is closed and a guiding position to which the air outlet is opened by rotating to a predetermined angle.

[0035] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the rotating shaft module 3 not only enables the air guide plate 2 to be rotatably connected to the frame 1, but also makes the disassembly and installation process between the air guide plate 2 and the frame 1 more convenient. The specific connection structure between the three is as follows:

[0036] The frame 1 is provided with a first connector 11, and the first connector 11 is provided with a first connecting hole 111. Specifically, the first connector 11 is a first connecting plate, which is integrally formed with the frame 1 or connected to it as an integral structure.

[0037] The air guide plate 2 is provided with a second connector 21 and a snap-fit ​​component 22. The second connector 21 has a second connecting hole 211, and the snap-fit ​​component 22 is vertically disposed on the body surface of the air guide plate 2 and extends therefrom. Specifically, the second connector 21 is a second connecting plate, which is vertically disposed on the body surface of the air guide plate 2 and is integrally formed with or connected to the air guide plate 2 as a single structure. During installation, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are parallel to each other, and the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 211 are located on the same straight line. The snap-fit ​​component 22 is vertically disposed on the body surface of the air guide plate 2, that is, one end of the snap-fit ​​component 22 intersects the body surface of the air guide plate 2. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​component 22 can be disposed on the air guide plate 2 at an angle or vertically disposed on the body surface of the air guide plate 2.

[0038] The rotating shaft module 3 includes a sliding part 31 and a rotating shaft body 32. The rotating shaft body 32 is disposed on the sliding part 31. The sliding part 31 has a spaced insertion hole 311 and a snap-fit ​​hole 312. The insertion hole 311 and the snap-fit ​​hole 312 are connected in the radial direction and thus form a sliding channel.

[0039] The snap-fit ​​component 22 is an elastic snap-fit ​​component, which can slide within the sliding channel through its own elastic compression deformation. Once it enters the position of the insertion hole 311 or snap-fit ​​hole 312 in the sliding channel, the snap-fit ​​component 22 returns to its original shape, thereby firmly snapping into the snap-fit ​​hole 312. This design ensures that the snap-fit ​​component 22 is not easy to loosen or fall out of the snap-fit ​​hole 312.

[0040] The diameter of the insertion hole 311 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole 312. The insertion hole 311 serves as the entrance for the snap-fit ​​member 22 to enter the sliding channel, guiding the snap-fit ​​member 22 into the sliding channel so that the snap-fit ​​member 22 can slide along the sliding channel and be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 312.

[0041] There are one or more snap-fit ​​holes 312, and the multiple snap-fit ​​holes 312 are connected in the radial direction. The multiple snap-fit ​​holes 312 can provide more connection points for the snap-fit ​​component 22, so that the snap-fit ​​component 22 can flexibly select the appropriate snap-fit ​​hole 312 for fixing according to different connection requirements or application scenarios.

[0042] During installation, as the rotating shaft module 3 slides relative to the air guide plate 2, the snap-fit ​​part 22 can slide along the sliding channel from the insertion hole 311 to the snap-fit ​​hole 312 and snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 312. The rotating shaft body 32 can pass through and connect the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole 211 so that the air guide plate 2 can swing relative to the frame 1.

[0043] In the connected state, the first connecting member 11 can be located between the second connecting member 21 and the snap-fit ​​member 22. That is, during installation, the rotating shaft body 32 will first pass through the first connecting hole 111 and then through the second connecting hole 211, thereby enabling the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 21 to be rotatably connected, allowing the air guide plate 2 to swing relative to the frame 1. Alternatively, the second connecting member 21 can be located between the first connecting member 11 and the snap-fit ​​member 22. That is, during installation, the rotating shaft body 32 will first pass through the second connecting hole 211 and then through the first connecting hole 111, similarly enabling the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 21 to be rotatably connected, allowing the air guide plate 2 to swing relative to the frame 1.

[0044] During disassembly, as the rotating shaft module 3 slides in the opposite direction to the air guide plate 2, the snap-fit ​​part 22 can slide along the sliding channel from the snap-fit ​​hole 312 to the insertion hole 311, and the rotating shaft body 32 can disengage from the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole 211. Then, the entire rotating shaft module 3 is moved so that the snap-fit ​​part 22 disengages from the insertion hole 311, thereby completing the separation of the air guide plate 2 from the frame 1.

[0045] The rotating shaft module 3 also includes a handheld part 33 and a vertical plate 34. One end of the sliding part 31 extends upward to form the handheld part 33. The handheld part 33 provides a position for the user to hold the sliding part 31 so as to better push or pull the sliding part 31 relative to the air guide plate 2. The other end of the sliding part 31 extends upward to form the vertical plate 34. The rotating shaft body 32 is vertically mounted on the vertical plate 34. The vertical plate 34 serves as a support structure for the rotating shaft body 32, ensuring that the rotating shaft body 32 remains stable in the horizontal direction and facilitating the connection of the rotating shaft body 32 to the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 21.

[0046] It should be noted that the structural description of the rotating shaft module 3 in the above embodiments is merely exemplary, and the structure of the rotating shaft module 3 is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can adjust the external structure of the rotating shaft module 3 as needed, as long as it has the above functions.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 or Figure 7The sliding part 31 has a first mating deformation hole 313 communicating with the insertion hole 311, and a second mating deformation hole 314 communicating with the snap-fit ​​hole 312. The sliding part 31 has the first mating deformation hole 313 and the second mating deformation hole 314 communicating with the sliding channel. On the one hand, during the sliding of the snap-fit ​​member 22, the first mating deformation hole 313 and the second mating deformation hole 314 can act as natural buffer areas, effectively absorbing and dispersing the impact force generated by sliding, reducing wear, and extending the service life of the sliding part 31. On the other hand, by utilizing their moderate deformation, the first mating deformation hole 313 and the second mating deformation hole 314 can disperse stress during long-term use, avoiding excessive local wear, thereby significantly improving the durability and reliability of the entire rotating shaft module 3.

[0048] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, at least a portion of at least one sidewall of the sliding part 31 is recessed inward to form multiple deformation notches 315. When the latching member 22 slides within the sliding channel, the deformation notches 315 facilitate deformation of the sliding part 31 under the pressure of the latching member 22, thus making the sliding process of the latching member 22 smoother. This deformation capability also helps reduce stress concentration, preventing damage to the sliding part 31 due to excessive force. Specifically, the deformation notches 315 on the sliding part 31 are offset from the positions of the insertion hole 311 and the latching hole 312. This appropriately offsets relatively weak areas on the sliding part 31, ensuring the overall structural strength of the sliding part 31 while fully utilizing the advantages of the deformation notches 315, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the sliding part 31.

[0049] The air guide plate 2 is provided with a support member 23, which is integrally formed with or connected to the air guide plate 2 as an integral structure. The support member 23 has a plane, and the sliding part 31 is slidably disposed on the plane. Since the surface of the air guide plate 2 is generally set as a curved surface, and the air guide plate 2 is provided with a support member 23 with a plane, a stable and reliable sliding platform can be provided for the sliding part 31. This design ensures that the movement of the sliding part 31 on the air guide plate 2 is smooth, continuous and with low resistance, which facilitates the sliding part 31 to drive the rotating shaft body 32 to connect the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 21, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the air guide plate 2 and the frame 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 9As shown, the support member 23 includes two parallel, elongated support strips symmetrically arranged on both sides of the snap-fit ​​member 22. The top surfaces of the two support strips are flush and together form the sliding platform of the sliding part 31. In some embodiments, the support member 23 is a support plate, which is disposed on the surface of the air guide plate 2 body, and the snap-fit ​​member 22 is disposed on the support plate. In this case, the top surface of the support plate serves as the sliding platform of the sliding part 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft module 3, the first connecting member 11, the second connecting member 21, and the snap-fit ​​member 22 together constitute the connection structure between the air guide plate 2 and the frame 1. The connection structure can consist of one or more sets. Multiple sets of connection structures can more firmly connect the air guide plate 2 and the frame 1, enhancing the overall connection stability. Even under significant wind pressure or mechanical stress, multiple sets of connection structures can effectively disperse stress, preventing the air guide plate 2 from detaching or being damaged, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the air conditioner.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection structure consists of two sets, arranged in opposite directions, or arranged in opposite directions. Regardless of whether the two sets of connection structures are arranged in opposite directions or opposite directions, they can jointly enhance the connection stability between the air guide plate 2 and the frame 1, and can also jointly resist the influence of external forces or vibrations on the position of the air guide plate 2, which helps to prevent the air guide plate 2 from accidentally falling off the frame 1.

[0053] When installing the air guide plate 2 in the air conditioner of this utility model, firstly, the sliding part 31 of the rotating shaft module 3 is inserted and engaged with the snap-fit ​​part 22 on the air guide plate 2. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​part 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 311 of the rotating shaft module 3. Then, the air guide plate 2 with the rotating shaft module 3 is moved to the position connected to the frame 1, and the rotating shaft body 32 is aligned with the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole 211. Then, slide the entire rotating shaft module 3 along the direction of approaching the second connector 21 until the rotating shaft body 32 is inserted into the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 211. During this process, the snap-fit ​​part 22 will smoothly move from the insertion hole 311 to the snap-fit ​​hole 312 along the sliding channel, making the sliding process of the sliding module smoother and playing a limiting role, so that the air guide plate 2 is securely installed on the frame 1 of the air conditioner, and the air guide plate 2 can swing relative to the frame 1. The entire installation process does not require deformation of the air guide plate 2. The disassembly process is the reverse process of installation. The operation is simple and quick, effectively improving the assembly efficiency and also extending the service life of the air guide plate 2.

[0054] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
