[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1-8 This invention describes a wall-mounted air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The wall-mounted air conditioner of this embodiment includes an air conditioner body 1, a wall-mounted panel 2, a support member, a limiting member 22, and a mating member. The wall-mounted panel 2 is connected to the wall, and the support member is connected to the wall-mounted panel 2. At least a portion of the top surface of the support member abuts against the air conditioner body 1 to support the air conditioner body 1 upwards. The limiting member 22 is connected to the wall-mounted panel 2, and the mating member is connected to the air conditioner body 1. The mating member engages with the limiting member 22 from bottom to top to prevent the air conditioner body 1 from moving away from the wall-mounted panel 2 in the front-back direction.

[0031] According to the wall-mounted air conditioner of this utility model embodiment, after the wall-mounted plate 2 is fixed to the wall by the fastener 4, the mating parts on the air conditioner body 1 cooperate with the limiting parts 22 on the wall-mounted plate 2 from bottom to top to achieve relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall-mounted plate 2 in the front-back direction. The wall-mounted plate 2 supports the air conditioner body 1 upward by the supporting parts to achieve the limiting of the air conditioner body 1 in the vertical direction, thereby completing the installation of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall. At this time, there is no need for an installation gap between the air conditioner body 1 and the ceiling. As a result, the air conditioner body 1 can be closer to the ceiling after installation, thereby effectively avoiding dust accumulation on the top of the wall-mounted air conditioner and increasing the difficulty of cleaning. At the same time, it also effectively improves the appearance of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0032] It should be noted that the fastener 4 can be an expansion screw, and the wall panel 2 is fixed to the wall at a suitable position by the expansion screw.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side of the air conditioner body 1 facing the wall-mounted panel 2 is provided with a horizontal rib 11 extending in the left and right direction of the air conditioner body 1. The support includes a protrusion 21 fixed to the side of the wall-mounted panel 2 facing the air conditioner body 1, and the top surface of the protrusion 21 abuts against the bottom surface of the horizontal rib 11.

[0034] That is, the wall-mounted panel 2 supports the horizontal rib 11 upward through the protrusion 21, thereby providing upward support for the air conditioner body 1. The protrusion 21 is a frame structure, which has higher structural strength than a plate structure and is less prone to deformation when supporting the air conditioner body 11 upward.

[0035] Specifically, the protrusion 21 and the wall-mounted panel 2 are integrally formed, which effectively improves the connection strength between the two. When the protrusion 21 supports the air conditioner body 1, it is less likely to deform relative to the wall-mounted panel 2, and the wall-mounted panel 2 provides more reliable support for the air conditioner body 1. The wall-mounted panel 2 is a sheet metal part, and it has through holes along the front-to-back direction opposite to the protrusion 21, that is, the protrusion 21 can be stamped on the wall-mounted panel 2.

[0036] In some embodiments, there are at least two convex bulges 21 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, and the horizontal ribs 11 are disposed in the middle of the air conditioner body 1 in the up-down direction.

[0037] At this time, the height of the horizontal rib 11 on the air conditioner body 1 is closer to the height of the center of gravity of the air conditioner body 1. When the boss supports the air conditioner body 1 upward, the air conditioner body 1 is less likely to become unstable and fall off the boss. The wall-mounted panel 2 provides more reliable support to the air conditioner body 1 through the boss.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, there are two convex hulls 21, which are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions, and the convex hulls 21 extend along the left and right directions.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mating component includes a hook 12 disposed on the side of the air conditioner body 1 facing the wall-mounted panel 2, and at least a portion of the hook 12 extends upward at an angle from front to back. A limiting member 22 is disposed on the side of the wall-mounted panel 2 facing the air conditioner body 1, and a limiting groove with an opening facing downward is formed between the limiting member 22 and the wall-mounted panel 2, and at least a portion of the hook 12 is mated in the limiting groove from bottom to top.

[0040] That is, some of the limiting parts 22 and the wall-mounted plate 2 are arranged at intervals in the front and back direction, and limiting grooves are formed on the two sides opposite to each other in the front and back direction. Thus, when the air conditioner body 1 moves from bottom to top, some of the hooks 12 on the air conditioner body 1 can be inserted into the limiting grooves to achieve relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall-mounted plate 2 in the front and back direction. At this time, when the air conditioner body 1 is installed in place, it can abut against the ceiling to achieve ceiling-mounted installation.

[0041] Specifically, the hook 12 is disposed on the top of the air conditioner body 1, and the limiting member 22 is disposed on the top of the wall-mounted plate 2. The hook 12 is adjacent to the opposite ends of the wall-mounted plate 2 in the left and right directions. The limiting groove formed between the limiting member 22 and the wall-mounted plate 2 extends in the left and right directions.

[0042] In some embodiments, the limiting groove is closed at both ends in the left-right direction.

[0043] That is, the inner wall of the limiting groove includes two limiting surfaces that are opposite each other in the left and right directions. Thus, after part of the hook 12 is engaged in the limiting groove, the hook 12 is limited between the two limiting surfaces, which effectively ensures the relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall-mounted plate 2 in the left and right directions. The air conditioner body 1 is less likely to sway left and right after installation, and the installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall is higher.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner also includes a first reinforcing rib 13 that connects the hook 12 and the air conditioner body 1. There are multiple first reinforcing ribs 13, which are spaced apart along the left and right directions.

[0045] The first reinforcing rib 13 effectively improves the connection strength between the hook 12 and the air conditioner body 1. The hook 12 is less likely to deform relative to the air conditioner body 1, thus affecting the reliability of the wall-mounted plate 2 in limiting the air conditioner body 1 in the front and rear directions. The installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall is higher.

[0046] Specifically, the first reinforcing rib 13 is located below the hook 12. There are multiple first reinforcing ribs 13, which are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The first reinforcing ribs 13 are set on the bottom surface of the hook 12.

[0047] In some embodiments, the wall-mounted panel 2 is provided with a fixing bracket 23 on the side facing the air conditioner body 1, and the air conditioner body 1 is provided with a fixing seat 14 on the side facing the wall-mounted panel 2. The fixing bracket 23 and the fixing seat 14 are connected by fasteners. This further ensures the relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall-mounted panel 2 in the up, down, left, right, front, and back directions, and the installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall is higher.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting bracket 23 is located at the bottom of the wall-mounted panel 2, and the mounting bracket 23 has mounting holes 231 extending in the vertical direction. The mounting base 14 abuts against the top of the mounting bracket 23, and the mounting base 14 has threaded holes 141. The fastener is a threaded component that passes through the mounting hole 231 and is threaded into the threaded hole 141. This achieves a fixed connection between the mounting bracket 23 and the mounting base 14, thereby ensuring the relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall-mounted panel 2 in the vertical, horizontal, front-back, and rear directions, resulting in high reliability of the air conditioner body 1 installation on the wall.

[0049] The threaded hole 141 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing base 14, and the mounting hole 231 passes through the fixing bracket 23 in the vertical direction. There are two fixing bases 14 on the air conditioner body 1, which are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, the fixing seat 14 abuts against the upper part of the fixing frame 23. One of the fixing seat 14 and the fixing frame 23 is provided with a limiting hole 232 extending in the vertical direction, and the other of the fixing seat 14 and the fixing frame 23 is provided with a limiting protrusion 142, which is engaged in the limiting hole 232.

[0051] That is, the wall-mounted plate 2 supports the fixing seat 14 upward through the fixing bracket 23 to support the air conditioner body 1 upward. At the same time, the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 142 and the limiting hole 232 realizes the pre-positioning of the fixing bracket 23 and the fixing seat 14 in the front-back and left-right directions, effectively ensuring the coaxiality of the threaded hole 141 and the mounting hole 231, making it easier for the threaded parts to pass through the mounting hole 231 and engage with the threaded hole 141, and making the installation efficiency of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall higher.

[0052] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there are two limiting holes 232 arranged at intervals along the left and right directions, and two mounting holes 231 arranged at intervals along the left and right directions.

[0053] In some embodiments, the wall-mounted air conditioner further includes a second reinforcing rib 24 connecting the fixing bracket 23 and the wall mounting plate 2. There are multiple second reinforcing ribs 24, which are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the air conditioner body 1.

[0054] The second reinforcing rib 24 effectively improves the connection strength between the fixing bracket 23 and the wall-mounted plate 2. When the fixing bracket 23 supports the air conditioner body 1, it is less likely to deform relative to the wall-mounted plate 2, and the air conditioner body 1 has higher support reliability on the wall.

[0055] Specifically, the fixing frame 23 is generally a horizontal plate perpendicular to the wall panel 2, and the second reinforcing rib 24 is a triangular rib located above the horizontal plate.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner also includes a decorative cover 3, which is connected to the air conditioner body 1. At least part of the decorative cover 3 is located below the mounting bracket 23 and behind the air conditioner body 1.

[0057] After the air conditioner body 1 is installed on the wall, the decorative cover 3 is connected to the air conditioner body 1 to seal the gap between the lower end of the air conditioner body 1 and the wall, thereby effectively preventing the mounting bracket 23 from being exposed, and making the wall-mounted air conditioner more aesthetically pleasing.

[0058] Specifically, the decorative cover 3 is an injection molded part, and the decorative cover 3 is snapped into the air conditioner body 1.
