[0041] To address the difficulty in detecting whether the screws between the electric heater and the plastic tube sheet are properly installed, this embodiment discloses a household appliance. Specifically, this household appliance is the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner.
[0042] Regarding the household appliance, it should be noted that although the household appliance in this embodiment is the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner, this arrangement is not a limitation of this utility model. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can use other arrangement methods in other embodiments. For example, the household appliance could be a floor-standing air conditioner, a dishwasher, a washing machine, or other devices, as long as this mounting component can be used. This does not depart from the basic principle of this utility model and therefore falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 The household appliance includes an installation assembly, which includes a first support 1, a detection component 3, a second support 5, an installation component 2, and a connector 4.
[0044] The first support member 1 is specifically a plastic tubular plate. It should be noted that although the first support member 1 in this embodiment is a plastic tubular plate, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can employ other arrangements in other embodiments, such as connecting plates, connecting frames, or other structures. This does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first support member 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13, a first through hole 12, and a detection through hole 11. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The limiting groove 13 includes a bottom and a baffle 14 protruding from the surface of the first support member 1, and the space between the bottom and the baffle 14 forms the limiting groove 13. An opening is provided at the baffle 14 to connect the mounting member 2. The first through hole 12 and the detection through hole 11 are both provided at the bottom of the limiting groove 13.
[0046] The detection element 3 is cylindrical in shape. It should be noted that although the detection element 3 in this embodiment is cylindrical, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments, such as prisms, cones, or other shapes. This does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The detection element 3 passes through the detection through hole 11, and its end protrudes outside the detection through hole 11. Multiple connecting portions 31 are provided between the outer wall of the detection element 3 and the inner wall of the detection through hole 11 to connect the detection element 3 to the first support member 1. The connecting portions 31 are approximately rod-shaped with a small diameter. When the detection element 3 is subjected to a certain external force, the connecting portions 31 can break, allowing the detection element 3 to separate from the first support member 1. Furthermore, a notch 32 is provided on the connecting portion 31, and the thickness of the connecting portion 31 at the notch 32 is smaller, making it easier to break the connecting portion 31. In this embodiment, four connecting portions 31 are provided between the detection element 3 and the detection through hole 11.
[0048] Regarding the connecting parts 31, it should be noted that although there are four connecting parts 31 in this embodiment, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments, such as any number of two or more. Specifically, the number of connecting parts 31 can be set according to the size of the detection part and the size of the detection through hole 11. This does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0049] The second support member 5 is specifically a sheet metal tube sheet. The second support member 5 is spaced apart from the first support member 1. The second support member 5 is provided with a second through hole 51.
[0050] Regarding the second support member 5, it should be noted that although the second support member 5 in this embodiment is a sheet metal tube plate, this arrangement is not a limitation of this utility model. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments, such as connecting plates, connecting frames, and other structures. This does not depart from the basic principle of this utility model and therefore falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0051] Mounting component 2 is specifically an electric heater. It should be noted that although mounting component 2 in this embodiment is an electric heater, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other components requiring installation and fixation in other embodiments. This does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 The mounting component 2 is positioned at the interval between the first support component 1 and the second support component 5. (Refer to...) Figure 8A limiting block 22 is provided on the first end of the mounting component 2. The shape of the limiting block 22 matches the shape of the limiting groove 13, and the limiting block 22 can extend into the limiting groove 13 through the opening of the limiting groove 13. The outer wall of the limiting block 22 fits against the inner wall of the limiting groove 13 to limit the mounting component 2.
[0053] Reference Figure 9 The limiting block 22 is provided with a threaded hole 21. The connecting member 4 is specifically a screw, which can pass through the first through hole 12 and be screwed into the threaded hole 21 to fix the mounting member 2 to the first support member 1. As the screw is screwed into the threaded hole 21, the mounting member 2 and the first support member 1 move closer to each other, and the surface of the limiting block 22 abuts against the end of the detection member 3 protruding from the detection through hole 11. Further, as the screw continues to be screwed into the threaded hole 21, the limiting block 22 will squeeze the detection member 3, so that the detection member 3 is subjected to an outward pushing force. This pushing force can cause the connecting part 31 to break, so that the detection member 3 is separated from the first support member 1. Figure 9 The shaded area shows the overlapping portion of the detection element 3 and the limiting block 22. In the actual structure, when the screw connects the limiting block 22 to the limiting groove 13 in a preset state, the limiting block 22 will move the detection element 3 towards... Figure 9 Push out from the left side to disconnect the connecting part 31.
[0054] Regarding the connector 4, it should be noted that although the connector 4 in this embodiment is a screw, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments. For example, if a screw is provided on the mounting member 2, and the screw passes through the first through hole 12, then the connector 4 is a nut, and the nut is screwed to the screw, so that the mounting member 2 is connected to the first support member 1, and the mounting member 2 and the first support member 1 are connected to a preset position. This does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention, and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0055] Reference Figure 7 The second end of the mounting part 2 is provided with a connecting shaft 23, which can extend into the second through hole 51 to limit the mounting part 2.
[0056] The working principle of this mounting assembly is as follows: When installing mounting part 2, first insert the connecting shaft 23 into the second through hole 51, and then insert the limiting block 22 into the limiting groove 13. Afterwards, the screw passes through the first through hole 12 and connects to the threaded hole 21. Subsequently, the screw is screwed into the threaded hole 21, and mounting part 2 and the first support part 1 are connected to the preset position. Simultaneously, the limiting block 22 pushes the detection part 3, causing the connecting part 31 to disconnect, and the detection part 3 separates from the first support part 1. The operator can determine whether mounting part 2 and the first support part 1 are connected to the preset position by observing whether the detection part 3 is separated from the first support part 1.
[0057] 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.
