[0009] A locking element is provided on one of the air vent and the air conditioner body, and is connected or disconnected from the other, so that the air vent covers or disconnects from the air outlet accordingly.

[0010] A switch assembly is disposed on at least one of the air conditioner body and the air grille, and is electrically connected to the air conditioner body;

[0011] The switch assembly is configured to close when the air vent is covered by the air grille to enable the air conditioner to operate, and to open when the air vent is removed to stop the air conditioner from operating.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment includes a switching assembly comprising:

[0013] A trigger element, which is connected to either the air grille or the air conditioner body;

[0014] A switching element is disposed in the other of the air grille element and the air conditioner body, and is opposite to the trigger element. The switching element is electrically connected to the air conditioner body.

[0015] The switch is configured such that when the air grille covers the air vent, it is triggered by a trigger to close the switch, and when the air grille leaves the air vent, it is disengaged from the trigger to open the switch.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has a magnetic trigger and a magnetically sensitive switch as the switching element.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has a receiving groove on the main body of the air conditioner, the receiving groove is located on the opposite side of the rotating connection side of the air vent corresponding to the air grille, and the switch is located in the receiving groove.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment includes a locking member comprising:

[0019] A sliding part is slidably mounted on the air grille component;

[0020] A plug-in portion is provided on the side of the sliding portion facing the air conditioner body;

[0021] An operating part is provided on the sliding part, and the operating part is at least partially located on the outside of the wind grating member;

[0022] The operating unit is configured to drive the sliding part to slide the plug-in part under the action of external force, so that the plug-in part can be plugged into or disengaged from the air conditioner body.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has a louvered component with a sliding groove, and a sliding part is slidably disposed in the louvered component;

[0024] The air conditioner body is equipped with a slot, which is opposite to the slide rail. The plug part is inserted into or detached from the slot.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment further includes a limiting part as the locking member.

[0047] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0049] The ceiling-mounted air conditioner has an air inlet at the bottom and an air outlet on the side. The air inlet connects to the air outlet via an internal air duct. Removable air grilles are installed on both the air inlet and outlet. These grilles are used to adjust the airflow direction, and the interior of the air conditioner can be inspected and maintained by removing them.

[0050] However, when inspecting and maintaining an air conditioner, it is necessary to remove all the fasteners on the air grille, then remove the air grille and place it properly. After the maintenance is completed, it needs to be reinstalled, which makes the inspection and maintenance inconvenient. In addition, since ceiling-mounted air conditioners are located high up, it is quite dangerous to remove or place the air grille.

[0051] Furthermore, during the disassembly and assembly of the air vents, if the components inside the air conditioner suddenly move, it can easily injure the operators, affecting maintenance and repair, and thus posing a low safety risk.

[0052] To overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has a rotatable fan grille connected to the air conditioner body on one side. A locking member is provided on the fan grille or the air conditioner body for corresponding locking of the fan grille, and a switch assembly is also provided between the fan grille and the housing. When the fan grille covers the air vent on the air conditioner body by rotation, the locking member can lock the fan grille to keep it covering the air vent. At this time, the switch assembly remains closed through the fan grille, and the circuit is connected, allowing the air conditioner body to operate normally. When the locking member disengages from the fan grille, the fan grille can rotate relative to the housing to expose the air vent for operators to inspect and maintain the interior of the air conditioner. At this time, the switch assembly is disengaged, preventing the air conditioner body from operating. The system features a locking mechanism to lock and unlock the air vent grille, making it safer and faster for operators to disassemble it. After unlocking, the grille can be stably hung on one side of the air vent by rotating the connecting part, preventing it from falling during maintenance. Furthermore, when the grille detaches from covering the air vent, the switch assembly stops the air conditioner from operating, preventing internal components from interfering with maintenance. This ensures the safety of air conditioner maintenance.

[0053] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the present invention.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application embodiment provides an air conditioner, including: an air conditioner body 100, on which an air vent is provided; a vent grille 200, one side of which is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body 100; a locking member 300, which is disposed on one of the vent grille 200 and the air conditioner body 100, and is connected or disconnected from the other, so that the vent grille 200 covers or uncovers the air inlet 111; and a switch assembly 400, which is disposed on at least one of the air conditioner body 100 and the vent grille 200, and is electrically connected to the air conditioner body 100; the switch assembly 400 is configured to close when the vent grille 200 covers the air vent to allow the air conditioner body 100 to operate, and to open when the vent grille 200 uncovers the air vent to allow the air conditioner body 100 to stop operating.

[0055] It is understood that the top of the housing 110 of the air conditioner body 100 is connected to the indoor ceiling or other mounting surface, and an air inlet 111 is provided at the bottom of the housing 110. Through the air inlet 111, components such as the fan 120 inside the air conditioner body 100 can be exposed for maintenance and repair by operators. Furthermore, a rotating shaft 210 is provided on the air grille 200, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 110 corresponding to the air inlet 111 via the rotating shaft 210. Thus, when the fan 120 is running, the airflow can be rectified by the air grille 200 and enter the air conditioner from the air inlet 111, and then blown out from the air outlet 130 on the side of the housing 110. The following description uses the air grille 200 at the air inlet 111 to illustrate the embodiment of this application.

[0056] The locking member 300 is disposed on the air grille member 200 and can be connected to or disconnected from the housing 110. Alternatively, the locking member 300 can also be disposed on the housing 110 and connected to or disconnected from the air grille member 200. In this way, the locking member 300 can keep the air grille member 200 in a state of covering the air inlet 111. When the locking member 300 is unlocked, the air grille member 200 can rotate relative to the air inlet 111 to remove the air inlet 111 from the cover.

[0057] A switch assembly 400 is also provided between the air vent 200 and the housing 110 at the position corresponding to the air inlet 111. When the air vent 200 covers the air inlet 111, the switch assembly 400 is closed to conduct the circuit of the air conditioner body 100, so that the fan 120 inside the air conditioner body 100 can operate normally. When the locking member 300 is unlocked and the air vent 200 is removed from covering the air inlet 111, the switch assembly 400 is opened to disconnect the circuit of the air conditioner body 100, so that the fan 120 inside the air conditioner body 100 cannot operate.

[0058] Therefore, in the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment, one side of the air grille 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 110 of the air conditioner body 100, a locking member 300 for correspondingly locking the air grille 200 is provided on the air grille 200 or the housing 110, and a switch assembly 400 is also provided between the air grille 200 and the housing 110. When the air grille 200 rotates to cover the air inlet 111 on the housing 110, the locking member 300 can lock the air grille 200 so that the air grille 200 keeps covering the air inlet 111. At this time, the switch assembly 400 is kept closed by the air grille 200, and the circuit is connected so that the air conditioner body 100 can operate normally. When the locking member 300 disengages from locking the air grille 200, the air grille 200 can rotate relative to the housing 110 so that the air inlet 111 is exposed for the operator to inspect and maintain the inside of the air conditioner. At this time, the switch assembly 400 is disconnected, so that the air conditioner body 100 cannot operate. The locking component 300 locks or unlocks the air grille component 200, making it safer and faster for operators to disassemble it. After unlocking, the air grille component 200 can be stably hung on one side of the air inlet 111 via a rotating connection, preventing it from falling off during maintenance. Furthermore, when the air grille component 200 detaches from covering the air inlet 111, the switch assembly 400 stops the air conditioner body 100 from operating, preventing the operation of internal components from interfering with maintenance. This ensures the safety of air conditioner maintenance.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the switch assembly 400 includes: a trigger 410 connected to one of the air vent 200 and the housing 110; and a switch 420 disposed on the other of the air vent 200 and the housing 110, opposite to the trigger 410, and electrically connected to the air conditioner body 100. The switch 420 is configured to be triggered by the trigger 410 when the air vent 200 covers the air vent, thereby closing the switch 420, and to disengage from the trigger 410 when the air vent 200 stops covering the air vent, thereby opening the switch 420.

[0060] By respectively setting the trigger 410 and the switch 420 on the air grille 200 and the housing 110, the rotation of the air grille 200 relative to the housing 110 can effectively trigger or disconnect the contact between the trigger 410 and the switch 420. Therefore, when the operator unlocks the locking member 300, causing the air grille 200 to detach from the air inlet 111, the circuit of the air conditioner body 100 can be simultaneously disconnected, making the operation safer and faster. It also effectively ensures that components such as the fan 120 inside the air conditioner body stop rotating, ensuring the safety of maintenance and repair.

[0061] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the trigger 410 is a magnetic component, and the switch 420 is a magnetic switch.

[0062] It is understandable that by setting the switch 420 as a magnetic switch and correspondingly setting the trigger 410 as a magnetic element, the control precision of the switch assembly 400 can be higher, the response speed can be faster, and the circuit of the air conditioner body 100 can be disconnected in a timely manner when the air grille 200 rotates.

[0063] In other embodiments, the switch 420 may be replaced with a pressure-sensitive switch, a photoelectric-sensitive switch, a distance-sensitive switch, etc., and the trigger 410 may be replaced with a corresponding push block, a reflective sheet, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a receiving groove 112, which is located on the opposite side of the rotating connection side of the air vent corresponding to the air grille 200. The switch 420 is located in the receiving groove 112.

[0065] It is easy to understand that by providing a receiving groove 112 on the housing 110 to accommodate the switch 420, the switch 420 can be installed in the receiving groove 112 and electrically connected to the air conditioner body 100, making the wiring more convenient and avoiding the switch 420 from protruding relative to the housing 110, which would affect the opening and closing effect of the air grille 200.

[0066] Furthermore, since the wind grille 200 has the largest stroke on the side opposite to the side with the rotating shaft 210 when it rotates, the trigger 410 is set on the side opposite to the side with the rotating shaft 210 of the wind grille 200, and the switch 420 is opposite to the trigger 410, so that the switch 420 can respond more sensitively and accurately to the movement of the trigger 410 as the wind grille 200 rotates.

[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figures 3 to 6 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the locking member 300 includes: a sliding part 310, which is slidably disposed on the air grille member 200; a plug-in part 320, which is disposed on the side of the sliding part 310 facing the air conditioner body 100; and an operating part 330, which is disposed on the sliding part 310 and at least partially located outside the air grille member 200. The operating part 330 is configured to drive the sliding part 310 to slide the plug-in part 320 under the action of an external force, so that the plug-in part 320 is plugged into or disengaged from the air conditioner body 100.

[0068] It is understandable that the sliding part 310, as the main body of the locking member 300, is slidably connected to the air grille member 200. The insertion part 320 and the operating part 330 are located at opposite ends of the sliding part 310 in the sliding direction, and the operating part 330 is bent relative to the sliding part 310 so that the operating part 330 can be partially located on the outside of the air grille member 200, thus protruding from the air grille member 200. By setting the sliding part 310 to slide on the air grille member 200 and positioning the operating part 330 on the sliding part 310 on the outside of the air grille member 200, it is convenient for the operator to apply force to the operating part 330, push or pull the operating part 330, so as to drive the sliding part 310 to engage or disengage the insertion part 320 from the housing 110, resulting in high operational convenience.

[0069] Among them, reference Figures 3 to 6 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the air grille 200 is provided with a sliding groove 220, and the sliding part 310 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 220; the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a slot 113, the slot 113 is opposite to the sliding groove 220, and the plug-in part 320 is plugged into or unplugged from the slot 113.

[0070] By providing a groove 220 on the air grille 200, the sliding part 310 is slidably disposed within the groove 220, making the sliding part 310 slide more smoothly and steadily. Furthermore, the groove 220 provides a guiding function for the sliding part 310, effectively preventing the sliding part 310 from deviating during the sliding process and ensuring the working stability of the locking part 300.

[0071] A slot 113 is provided on the housing 110, and the slot of the slot 113 is opposite to the slide 220, so that the insertion and disengagement process of the plug part 320 and the slot 113 is more precisely aligned, which improves the reliability of locking and unlocking actions and avoids connection instability or operation failure due to misalignment.

[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figures 3 to 6 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the locking member 300 also includes a limiting part 340, which is arranged along the sliding direction of the sliding part 310. A guide post 221 is provided in the slide groove 220 and is inserted into the limiting part 340.

[0073] The limiting part 340 is provided along the sliding direction of the sliding part 310, and together with the guide post 221, it can effectively limit the sliding of the sliding part 310. The guide post 221 is inserted into the limiting part 340, so that the guide post 221 and the slide groove 220 can effectively prevent unstable situations such as rotation, offset or shaking during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the locking part 300.

[0074] In a specific implementation, the limiting part 340 is a strip-shaped hole formed on the sliding part 310, and the guide post 221 is a cylindrical structure, so that the sliding part 310 slides more smoothly. In other embodiments, the limiting part 340 may be a groove structure, or the guide post 221 may be a prism structure, and this application does not limit this.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figures 3 to 6 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the locking member 300 also includes a reset part 350, which is disposed on the sliding part 310 and abuts against the air grille member 200. The reset part 350 is configured such that when the plug-in part 320 is disengaged from the air conditioner body 100, the reset part 350 elastically deforms, and when the external force is removed, the reset part 350 restores its elastic deformation, so as to drive the sliding part 310 to drive the plug-in part 320 to plug into and maintain the air conditioner body 100.

[0076] It is understandable that the reset part 350 enables the sliding part 310 to automatically engage and maintain the insertion part 320 with the housing 110, achieving automatic reset and improving operational convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the reset part 350 maintains the stability of the insertion state of the insertion part 320 after it is engaged with the housing 110, making the connection between the insertion part 320 and the housing 110 tighter and less prone to loosening or detachment.

[0077] The reset part 350 is an elastic arm, which is disposed on at least one side of the sliding part 310 in the sliding direction; the wind grid member 200 is provided with a socket 230, and the elastic arm is inserted into the socket 230.

[0078] The reset part 350 is designed as a flexible arm and is located on at least one side of the sliding part 310 in the sliding direction, making the structure of the entire locking member 300 more compact. The flexible arm is small in size and can be integrated with other components such as the sliding part 310, which is beneficial for realizing locking and reset functions in a limited space.

[0079] Furthermore, the flexible arm is inserted into the socket 230 of the air grille 200, making the connection between the reset part 350 and the air grille 200 more stable. The fit between the flexible arm and the socket 230 is relatively simple, facilitating manufacturing and installation. Without requiring complex connection structures or high-precision machining processes, effective connection and reset functions between the reset part 350 and the air grille 200 can be achieved, reducing manufacturing costs and installation difficulty.

[0080] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, at least two locking members 300 are spaced apart, and at least two locking members 300 are located on opposite sides of the rotating connection side of the air grille member 200.

[0081] This configuration allows the locking element 300 to lock the air grille 200 from multiple positions, increasing the stability of the lock and ensuring that the position of the air grille 200 remains stable.
