Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a baffle assembly structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] A cabinet air conditioner with a rotating damper inside the frame has its upper and lower connecting structures hidden inside the frame. When the damper is opened, the damper body and the connecting structures at both ends move inside the frame, leaving a gap at the bottom of the air outlet. A rounded component on the damper panel moves along with the damper panel, concealing the gap left by the movement of the damper panel body during opening. Because the upper and lower ends of the damper panel are hidden inside the frame, and due to internal space constraints, if the screws fixing the baffle are placed near the edge of the exterior surface, local appearance defects may easily occur on the plastic damper panel. Furthermore, the limited space also makes it impossible to install a screw fixing structure.

[0003] When the screws fixing the baffle are a certain distance from the edge of the damper panel, and the baffle is a long and thin strip, with the closest point of contact with the damper panel exposed in the visible position, the baffle is prone to significant shaking due to poor fixation at the damper edge when under stress. In addition, when the damper panel is placed horizontally to assemble the baffle, because the baffle is a long strip and most of its structure is outside the damper panel, if the small parts, damper panel, and baffle are not held down by hand during assembly, the parts are prone to flipping and falling off, affecting the assembly efficiency of the damper panel and baffle. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a baffle assembly structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem that small parts, damper panels, and baffles are prone to relative movement or falling off during the assembly of baffles and damper panels, which affects the assembly efficiency of damper panels and baffles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model is as follows: a baffle assembly structure, comprising a baffle and a damper panel, wherein the baffle includes:

[0006] The connecting part has several detachable connecting parts at the end face of the connecting part and the damper panel, and several first limiting parts are provided between the connecting part and the damper panel;

[0007] The guide sliding part is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the end of the guide sliding part near the side of the damper panel is provided with a second limiting part that fits against the side of the damper panel.

[0008] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: When assembling the baffle assembly structure, the connecting part cooperates with the damper panel through the first limiting part, and the guide sliding part cooperates with the damper panel through the second limiting part. Then, the connecting part and the damper panel are fixed by the detachable connecting part. During the installation of the detachable connecting part, the first limiting part and the second limiting part can initially limit the connecting part and the guide sliding part on the damper panel, making it less likely for parts to fall off during the installation process, and effectively improving the overall assembly efficiency of the damper panel and the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the detachable connector includes:

[0010] The first screw post is arranged along the axial direction of the damper panel and is fixedly installed on the end face of the damper panel.

[0011] A second screw post can overlap with the first screw post. The second screw post is also arranged along the axial direction of the damper panel. The second screw post is fixedly installed on the side of the connection part away from the end face of the damper panel. The first screw post and the second screw post are detachably connected.

[0012] With the above configuration, the first screw post can cooperate with the second screw post to assemble and install the connecting part and the damper panel from the end face of the damper panel. The end face installation is convenient and efficient. At the same time, the first screw post can precisely cooperate with the second screw and can cooperate with the locking part to fully fix the connecting part and the damper panel.

[0013] Furthermore, the first limiting part includes:

[0014] The elastic clip is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting part near the end face of the damper panel. The end face of the damper panel is provided with a spring clip limiting notch for the elastic clip to be inserted.

[0015] With the above settings, when the connecting part is fitted and positioned on the damper panel, the elastic clip can deform and embed itself into the spring clip limiting notch, realizing the pre-installation and positioning of the connecting part and the damper panel, which facilitates the subsequent installation at the first screw post and the second screw post, further improving assembly efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the first limiting part also includes:

[0017] The flange is fixedly installed at the edge of the connecting part. The side wall of the flange can fit against the circumferential surface of the damper panel. The surface of the connecting part is a mating surface that fits against the end face of the first screw post.

[0018] With the above settings, the flange can fit more closely to the outer wall of the limit position damper panel, and at the same time improve the fit between the connection part and the damper panel after installation.

[0019] Furthermore, the second limiting part includes:

[0020] A limiting boss is fixedly installed on the side of the guide sliding part near the end face of the damper panel. The end face of the damper panel is provided with a boss limiting notch for the limiting boss to be inserted.

[0021] With the above settings, the guide sliding part and the damper panel are matched by the limiting boss and the boss limiting notch, which makes the matching between the guide sliding part and the damper panel stable and improves the installation accuracy and assembly efficiency between the guide sliding part and the damper panel.

[0022] Furthermore, the second limiting part also includes:

[0023] The limiting step is located at one end of the guide sliding part near the connecting part. The side wall of the damper panel is provided with a limiting surface that can fit with the surface of the limiting step and restrict the baffle from rotating radially along the arc shape of the cross-section of the damper panel.

[0024] With the above settings, the limiting step can cooperate with the limiting surface on the damper panel; when the damper panel rotates relative to the air conditioner, the limiting boss is squeezed against the edge of the damper panel, and the cooperation between the limiting step and the limiting surface can prevent the baffle from twisting and separating at the contact position with the damper panel.

[0025] Furthermore, the limiting boss is located at one end of the guide sliding part near the limiting step.

[0026] With the above settings, the limiting boss can better fit with the damper panel and can reinforce the transition between the guide sliding part and the connecting part.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting boss is thick and solid.

[0028] The above settings can improve the strength of the limiting boss. When the damper panel drives the baffle to rotate, the cooperation between the limiting boss and the limiting notch of the boss can effectively prevent the baffle from overturning due to force after it is fixed.

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting part and the guide sliding part are integrally formed.

[0030] The above-mentioned design improves the strength of the transition between the connecting part and the guide sliding part, thus ensuring the overall strength of the baffle.

[0031] This utility model also aims to improve an air conditioner, including an indoor unit and a baffle assembly structure. The indoor unit includes a housing, with an air inlet on one side of the housing and an air outlet on the other side of the housing. A damper panel is installed at the air outlet, and a baffle is installed between the housing and the damper panel.

[0032] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: when the connecting part and the guide sliding part rotate to open the air outlet, the screw fixation prevents the connecting part and the guide sliding part from moving downward relative to the damper panel, and the limiting boss is pressed against the edge of the damper panel to prevent the guide sliding part from twisting and separating from the contact position of the damper panel.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This embodiment is basically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a baffle assembly structure, including a baffle 10 and a damper panel 20. The baffle 10 includes a connecting part 11 and a guide sliding part 12 integrally formed with the connecting part 11. The connecting part 11 and the end face of the damper panel 20 are provided with a plurality of detachable connecting parts, and a plurality of first limiting parts are provided between the connecting part 11 and the damper panel 20. At the same time, the end of the guide sliding part 12 near the side of the damper panel 20 is provided with a second limiting part that fits against the side of the damper panel 20.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the detachable connection includes two first screw posts 301 and two second screw posts 302 that can overlap with the two first screw posts 301. The first screw posts 301 are arranged along the axial direction of the damper panel 20 and are integrally formed on the end face of the damper panel 20. The second screw posts 302 are also arranged along the axial direction of the damper panel 20 and are integrally formed on the side of the connection 11 away from the end face of the damper panel 20. The first screw posts 301 and the second screw posts 302 are detachably connected by screws. The second screw posts 302 are located in the middle of the connection 11.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting part includes an elastic clip 401 and a flange 403. The elastic clip 401 is integrally formed on the side of the connecting part 11 near the end face of the damper panel 20. The end face of the damper panel 20 is provided with a spring clip limiting notch 402 for the elastic clip 401 to be inserted. The flange 403 is fixedly installed at the edge of the connecting part 11. The side wall of the flange 403 can fit with the peripheral surface of the damper panel 20. The surface of the connecting part 11 is a mating surface 404 that fits with the end face of the first screw post 301.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second limiting part includes a limiting boss 501 and a limiting step 503. The limiting boss 501 is integrally formed on the side of the guide sliding part 12 near the end face of the damper panel 20. The end face of the damper panel 20 is provided with a boss limiting notch 502 for the limiting boss 501 to be inserted. The limiting boss 501 is thick and solid. The limiting step 503 is located at one end of the guide sliding part 12 near the connecting part 11. The side wall of the damper panel 20 is provided with a limiting surface 504 that can fit against the surface of the limiting step 503 and restrict the baffle 10 from radially rotating along the arc shape of the cross-section of the damper panel 20. Figure 4 As shown, the limiting boss 501 is located at one end of the guide sliding part 12 near the limiting step 503.

[0046] In this embodiment, the baffle assembly structure is assembled as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the two baffle assembly structures are installed on both ends of the damper panel 20. The damper panel 20 is placed horizontally, and the rear side of the damper panel 20 is supported on the plane. The baffle assembly structures on both sides are installed in conjunction.

[0047] During installation, the vertical plane containing the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 is perpendicular to the axis of the first screw post 301, allowing the mating surface 404 of the connecting part 11 to fit against the end face of the first screw post 301. At the same time, the limiting step 503 of the guide sliding part 12 fits against the limiting surface 504 of the connecting part 11, along with the elastic clip 401 and the flange 403. The elastic clip 401 is inserted into the elastic clip limiting notch 402, and the inner wall of the flange 403 is initially fitted against the outer surface of the damper panel 20. The limiting boss 501 is also simultaneously embedded into the boss limiting notch 502, thus initially snapping the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 onto the damper panel 20. Then, the screws are passed through the second screw post 302 and the first screw post 301 in sequence, thereby stably fixing the connecting part 11 onto the connecting part 11.

[0048] Before the screws are locked, the elastic clip 401 can engage with the limiting notch, and the limiting boss 501 can engage with the boss limiting notch 502, thus achieving initial fixation of the damper panel 20 and the panel. This makes it easier to lock the screws in place, as the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 are less likely to detach from the damper panel 20 during installation. At the same time, the multiple limiting structures can improve installation efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the elastic clip limiting notch 402 and the boss limiting notch 502 of the damper panel 20, as well as the elastic clip 401 and the limiting boss 501 of the baffle 10, are all close to the outer surface of the structure and are offset from the positions of the first screw post 301 and the second screw post 302. This makes it easier to install and lock the screws at the first screw post 301 and the second screw post 302, and the screws can be securely engaged in the middle of the connecting part 11.

[0049] Because the limiting boss 501 is thick and solid, it can improve the strength of the limiting boss 501. When the damper panel 20 drives the baffle 10 to rotate, the cooperation between the limiting boss 501 and the boss limiting notch 502 can effectively prevent the baffle 10 from flipping due to force after it is fixed. At the same time, the limiting step 503 can accurately cooperate with the limiting surface 504 of the damper panel 20, further limiting and controlling the installation of the entire baffle 10 and damper panel 20.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The differences between Example 2 and Example 1 are basically as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, an air conditioner is also provided, including an indoor unit and a baffle assembly structure. The indoor unit includes a housing 60, an air inlet 601 on the left side of the housing 60, an air outlet 602 on the right side of the housing 60, a damper panel 20 installed at the air outlet 602, and a baffle 10 installed between the housing 60 and the damper panel 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in use, the air conditioner controls the damper panel 20 to rotate. At this time, the damper panel 20 drives the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 to rotate synchronously along the circumference of the housing 60 to open the air outlet 602. The guide sliding part 12 can be exposed at the edge of the air outlet 602. At this time, the guide sliding part 12 can block the gap between the lower side of the damper panel 20 and the housing 60, so that the fit between the damper panel 20 and the air outlet 602 of the housing 60 is tighter. When the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 rotate to open the air outlet 602, the screw fixation prevents the connecting part 11 and the guide sliding part 12 from moving downward relative to the damper panel 20, and the limiting boss 501 is pressed against the edge of the damper panel 20, preventing the guide sliding part 12 from twisting and separating from the external contact position of the damper panel 20.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
