Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning installation equipment technology, and in particular to an air conditioning housing with protective function. Background Technology
[0002] Many families now use cylindrical floor-standing air conditioners. These air conditioners are popular because their cylindrical design saves space and looks aesthetically pleasing. However, the air vents of these air conditioners are located on the side wall. Many families place the air conditioner in a corner of the living room, where there are often curtains. The air conditioner is placed in front of the curtains. When the air conditioner is working, its vents need to draw in outside air and convert it into cold air before blowing it out. At this time, the air conditioner's vents can easily get stuck to the curtains, thus affecting the air intake and resulting in poor cooling performance. It also affects the heat dissipation of the air conditioner, leading to a shorter lifespan.
[0003] Announcement No. CN216011211U discloses an air conditioner casing protective frame, including a vertical air conditioner casing. The vertical air conditioner casing has an adjustment device and a fixing part at its heat dissipation vent. The adjustment device includes an adjustment part one and an adjustment part two, with the protective frame positioned between the adjustment parts one and two. The adjustment parts one and two are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the heat dissipation vent. The fixing part includes two fixing seats, one side of which is arc-shaped. The two fixing seats are symmetrically arranged at the heat dissipation vent of the vertical air conditioner casing, and the arc-shaped side of the fixing seat is fixed to the side wall of the vertical air conditioner casing. This utility model, through the protective frame, can prevent curtains from adhering to the heat dissipation vent when the air conditioner is in use, thus preventing air exchange inside the air conditioner and affecting the cooling effect and service life of the air conditioner. Simultaneously, the adjustment device allows for convenient and quick adjustment of the protective frame; it can be opened when in use and retracted when not in use, without occupying excessive space.
[0004] The aforementioned device uses an adjustable protective frame at the air intake position; however, the retracted protective frame still protrudes outside the air conditioner casing, making it susceptible to accidental contact during installation and handling, and inconvenient to move. Therefore, there is a need for an air conditioner casing with protective functions. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, where the retracted protective frame still protrudes outside the air conditioner casing, making it easy to be accidentally touched during installation and transportation, and inconvenient to move.

A compression spring is sleeved on the sliding column, and the compression spring is elastically connected between the inner wall of the fixed cylinder near the movable strip and the inner wall of the limiting plate near the movable strip.
[0010] Pulling the sliding column outward causes the movable column to move the limiting plate, which in turn compresses the compression spring. As the movable bar rotates into the equipment slot, it retracts into the equipment slot due to the reaction force of the compression spring.
[0011] Preferably, the pair of fixed magnets at the ends of the pair of folded strips have opposite magnetic properties and attract each other, and the inner wall of the folded strip located in the equipment slot is in contact with the inner wall of the movable strip.
[0012] When the folding strips are unfolded, the fixed magnets at the ends of a pair of folding strips come into contact with each other, thus connecting the pair of folding strips together.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable strip located in the equipment slot is located inside the outer wall of the main body of the vertical air conditioner casing.
[0014] Avoid protruding the moving strip into the equipment slot to prevent accidental activation.
[0015] Preferably, the outer side walls of several movable strips have pull grooves.
[0016] The movable bar can be moved by pulling the groove.
[0017] Preferably, a number of fixed metal blocks are evenly and uniformly fixedly installed in the equipment slot, and the fixed metal blocks correspond one-to-one with the movable bars, and the fixed magnets and fixed metal blocks attract each other.
[0018] After the movable strip moves into the equipment slot, the fixed magnet and the fixed metal block attract each other, raising the folded strip and ensuring that the movable strip in the equipment slot is in a vertical state.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include: by setting up a protective component, when it is necessary to protect the air inlet, the sliding column is pulled outward, the sliding column is rotated so that the movable strip changes from vertical to horizontal, the movable strip is rotated inward to fold the movable strip, the folded strip is rotated outward, and as the rotating connecting block rotates, the folded strip extends, so that the movable strip and the folded strip protect the air inlet. When it is necessary to store the movable strip, the folded strip is rotated inward so that the folded strip fits with the movable strip, the movable strip is rotated, and the folded strip and the movable strip are stored in the equipment slot.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 As shown. An air conditioner housing with protective function includes: a vertical air conditioner housing body 1, an air inlet 2 is provided on the back of the vertical air conditioner housing body 1, a pair of equipment slots 3 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the air inlet 2, and a plurality of protective components 4 are provided in the pair of equipment slots 3;
[0029] The protective component 4 includes a pair of fixed cylinders 41, which are fixedly installed in a pair of equipment slots 3. Each pair of equipment slots 3 has a sliding column 42 slidably disposed within it, and a pair of movable strips 43 movably disposed within it. The outer wall of the movable strips 43 located within the equipment slots 3 is inside the outer wall of the vertical air conditioner housing 1 to prevent the movable strips 43 from protruding into the equipment slots 3 and to prevent accidental contact. Several movable strips 43 have pull grooves 431 on their outer walls, allowing the movable strips 43 to be pulled through the pull grooves 431 for easy movement. The movable strips 43 are connected to the ends of the sliding columns 42. A rotatable connection is made, with a folding strip 44 movably provided at the other end of the movable strip 43. A rotatable connecting block 45 is rotatably connected to the end of the movable strip 43, and the other end of the rotatable connecting block 45 is rotatably connected to the folding strip 44. A fixed magnet 46 is fixedly installed at the end of the folding strip 44. The fixed magnets 46 at the ends of the pair of folding strips 44 have opposite magnetic properties and attract each other. The inner sidewall of the folding strip 44 located in the equipment slot 3 is in contact with the inner sidewall of the movable strip 43.
