Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a negative ion module and a base, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for air quality increase, more and more air conditioner indoor units are being equipped with negative ion modules to achieve air purification functions. These negative ion modules release negative ions to adsorb particulate matter such as dust and bacteria in the air, thereby improving indoor air quality. However, in some existing air conditioner indoor units, the installation location of the negative ion module is too far from the electrical control box assembly, resulting in complex and difficult wiring. Furthermore, this layout not only increases the difficulty of equipment assembly but may also affect the reliability of electrical connections, increasing maintenance costs.

[0003] Specifically, when the negative ion module and the electronic control box assembly are far apart, longer wires are required for connection. This not only increases material costs but may also introduce additional resistance due to the excessive length of the wires, thus affecting power transmission efficiency and system stability. Furthermore, longer wiring paths may increase the risk of electromagnetic interference, adversely affecting the operation of other electronic components in the system. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an installation structure for a negative ion module and a base, as well as an air conditioner, which aims to reduce the technical problem of complex wiring of the negative ion module.

[0005] This utility model provides an installation structure for a negative ion module and a base, including:

[0006] The negative ion module includes a body and a carbon brush. The body is provided with a first wire and a second wire. The first wire is connected to the carbon brush, and the second wire is used to connect to an external electronic control box assembly.

[0007] The base has a first mounting position and a second mounting position. The carbon brush is embedded in the first mounting position, and the body is disposed in the second mounting position and arranged close to the electronic control box assembly.

[0008] The main body and the base are detachably connected.

[0009] Furthermore, the body is provided with multiple screw holes for screws to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the main body is integrally formed with multiple mounting ears, and the multiple screw holes are respectively provided on the multiple mounting ears.

[0011] Furthermore, the base has an air duct, and the first mounting position is a mounting hole that communicates with the air duct, so that the carbon brush extends into the air duct through the mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the carbon brush that extends into the air duct is defined as the first end, and the end that protrudes outside the air duct is defined as the second end. The first end is suspended in the air duct, and the second end is detachably connected to the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the base and the second end are respectively provided with a plurality of first hooks and a plurality of second hooks that cooperate with each other. The plurality of first hooks form a limiting opening. Under the action of external force, the plurality of second hooks can be locked in the limiting opening to prevent the second end from detaching from the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the first hook is provided with a guide slope, which extends along the movement direction of the second hook.

[0015] Furthermore, the second hook is a flexible hook.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with several slots for fixing the first wire and / or the second wire.

[0017] This utility model provides an air conditioner, including the installation structure described above.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: The main body and carbon brush are connected via a first wire, and the carbon brush can be embedded in the first mounting position, ensuring the carbon brush's fixed and stable position during operation. Simultaneously, the first mounting position effectively utilizes the base's mounting space, resulting in a more compact and rational overall layout. This not only facilitates the proper routing of the first wire but also effectively prevents the risk of the carbon brush loosening or falling off due to vibration during use. Furthermore, by placing the main body in the second mounting position close to the electrical control box assembly, the required length of the second wire is reduced, simplifying the wiring process. This not only lowers material costs but also reduces power transmission loss and electromagnetic interference issues that may arise from long-distance wiring. Moreover, the shortened wire length and optimized layout contribute to improved electrical connection stability and reliability, reducing the risk of malfunctions due to loose wiring or poor contact, and enhancing overall stability.

[0026] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the mounting structure of the negative ion module and the base 6 includes: a negative ion module and a base 6; the negative ion module includes a body 1 and a carbon brush 2, the body 1 is provided with a first wire 3 and a second wire 4, the first wire 3 is connected to the carbon brush 2, and the second wire 4 is used to connect to an external control box assembly 5; the base 6 has a first mounting position and a second mounting position, the carbon brush 2 is embedded in the first mounting position, and the body 1 is located in the second mounting position and arranged close to the control box assembly 5; wherein, the body 1 and the base 6 are detachably connected.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the negative ion module is a negative ion generator. It generates negative ions by using a high-voltage transformer to boost the power frequency voltage to the required voltage, releasing them into the surrounding air to purify the air and improve people's living environment. The negative ion module is divided into two parts: the main body 1 and the carbon brush 2, which are connected by a first wire 3. In addition, a first mounting position is formed at the base 6 for the carbon brush 2 to be embedded in the first mounting position. This not only helps to properly route the first wire 3, but also effectively avoids the risk of the carbon brush 2 becoming loose or falling off due to vibration during use.

[0030] On the other hand, in this embodiment of the invention, a second mounting position is also provided at the base 6, and the main body 1 is detachably mounted at the second mounting position for quick assembly. Furthermore, the main body 1, arranged at the second mounting position, is close to the electrical control box assembly 5, reducing the distance between them and shortening the length of the second wire 4 used to connect them, making wiring and installation simpler and more convenient. For example, if the electrical control box assembly 5 is located at the rightmost side of the base 6, the second mounting position can also be located at the rightmost side of the base 6, thus allowing the main body 1 to be positioned at the rightmost side of the base 6. Of course, the negative ion module located at the rightmost side is positioned away from the fan motor, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the negative ion module and reducing the impact of the negative ion module on the motor.

[0031] In this embodiment, a first mounting position and a second mounting position are set at the base 6 to fix the carbon brush 2 and the body 1 of the negative ion module respectively. On the one hand, this ensures the overall stability of the negative ion module, and on the other hand, it optimizes the position layout of the negative ion module at the base 6, so that the negative ion module is closer to the electronic control box assembly 5. In this way, the wiring length from the electronic control box assembly 5 to the negative ion module is greatly reduced. That is, as the wiring length is reduced, the wiring difficulty is also reduced, which increases the space for wiring of other components and can prevent power transmission loss and electromagnetic interference problems.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the body 1 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 8 for screws to pass through. Specifically, in order to detachably fix the body 1 to the second mounting position of the base 6, this embodiment provides screw holes 8 on the body 1, and screws are screwed into the corresponding positions of the base 6 after passing through the screw holes 8, thus achieving a detachable connection between the two. In addition, the number of screw holes 8 is set to a plurality, and the plurality of screw holes 8 are arranged at different positions on the body 1, which can install and fix the body 1 in multiple directions, improving its stability. Preferably, the body 1 is integrally formed with a plurality of mounting ears 7, and the plurality of screw holes 8 are provided one-to-one with the plurality of mounting ears 7.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the base 6 forms an air duct, and the first mounting position is a mounting hole 601 connected to the air duct, so that the carbon brush 2 extends into the air duct through the mounting hole 601. Specifically, in order to purify the air more effectively, this embodiment provides an air duct at the base 6, allowing the carbon brush 2 to extend into the air duct; that is, a mounting hole 601 is provided at the base 6, which is the first mounting position mentioned above, and the carbon brush 2 can be embedded in the mounting hole 601 so that the air duct can continuously release negative ions.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the end of the carbon brush 2 that extends into the air duct is defined as the first end 201, and the end that protrudes outside the air duct is defined as the second end 202. The first end 201 is suspended inside the air duct, and the second end 202 is detachably connected to the base 6. Specifically, in order to further fix the carbon brush 2 to the mounting hole 601 of the base 6, this embodiment defines the carbon brush 2 as including the first end 201 and the second end 202. The first end 201 can be suspended and extended into the air duct, and the second end 202 protrudes outside the air duct for detachable connection with the base 6. In this way, the embedded connection and the detachable connection work together to improve the overall stability of the carbon brush 2 and prevent it from falling off.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the base 6 and the second end 202 are respectively provided with a plurality of first hooks 9 and a plurality of second hooks 10 that cooperate with each other. The plurality of first hooks 9 form a limiting opening. Under the action of external force, the plurality of second hooks 10 can be locked in the limiting opening to prevent the second end 202 from detaching from the base 6. In this embodiment, the hook portion of the first hook 9 is bent inward, so the plurality of first hooks 9 can form a limiting opening; the hook portion of the second hook 10 is spaced apart from the second end 202 and bends outward to cooperate with the hook portion of the first hook 9; when an external force is applied to the carbon brush 2, so that the first end 201 of the carbon brush 2 can be inserted into the mounting hole 601, the second hook 10 can gradually approach the first hook 9 and, under the action of continuous external force, be locked into the aforementioned limiting opening, such as Figure 5As shown, the hooks of the two latches work together to fix the second end 202 of the carbon brush 2 to the base 6. Preferably, to facilitate the second latch 10 to engage or disengage from the limiting port and achieve a detachable connection between the second end 202 and the base 6, the first latch 9 in this embodiment is a non-elastic latch, and the second latch 10 is an elastic latch. Because the second latch 10 has a certain elastic deformation force under external force and a recovery deformation after the external force disappears, the second latch 10 can be engaged with the first latch 9 or disengaged from the first latch 9 according to the deformation of the second latch 10. Of course, since the second latch 10 shown in the figure is inclined, a reinforcing rib can be added at its connection with the carbon brush 2.

[0036] Preferably, the first hook 9 is provided with a guide slope 11, which extends along the movement direction of the second hook 10. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the guide slope 11 formed on the first hook 9 is rounded, which serves to guide the second hook 10 on the one hand, and also to restrict the second hook 10 within the limiting opening on the other hand.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 6 is provided with a plurality of slots 12 for fixing the first wire 3 and / or the second wire 4. Specifically, to facilitate wiring, this embodiment provides multiple slots 12 at the base 6, with the first wire 3 and the second guide wire respectively locked in the corresponding slots 12. The two are fitted with an interference fit (e.g., the wire diameter is 2.5mm, and the slot 12 size is designed to be 2mm), which can fix the wire and prevent it from falling off. Of course, the slots 12 are provided with chamfers and rounded corners to make the wire easy to insert and prevent it from being scratched.

[0038] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including the installation structure described above. The specific structure of the installation structure is as described in the above embodiment. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] 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.
