[0047] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0048] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0049] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] According to the embodiments of this application, the air conditioner 1000, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 includes a frame assembly 100 and a panel assembly 200. The frame assembly 100 includes a frame 1 and a first magnetic element 2, with the first magnetic element 2 disposed on the frame 1. The panel assembly 200 includes a panel 3 and a second magnetic element 4. The panel 3 is disposed on the front side of the frame 1, and the second magnetic element 4 is disposed on the panel 3 and magnetically engages with the first magnetic element 2. The frame 1 has a mounting cavity 11, a mounting port 12, and an opening 13. Both the mounting port 12 and the opening 13 communicate with the mounting cavity 11. The first magnetic element 2 is inserted into the mounting cavity 11 via the mounting port 12 along a first direction Y. The opening 13 is opposite to the end of the first magnetic element 2 in the first direction Y that is away from the mounting port 12. The first direction Y can be the through direction of the mounting port 12.

[0051] Panel 3 is located on the front side of face frame 1, and face frame 1 is magnetically engaged with second magnetic element 4 on panel 3 via first magnetic element 2 to connect panel 3 to face frame 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The dashed line indicates the installation position of the first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 4. The magnetic attraction of the magnetic components can reduce the difficulty of connecting the panel 3 and the frame 1, which is conducive to improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 1000.

[0052] Understandably, magnetic components require distinguishing between positive and negative poles. When the first or second magnetic component is installed in reverse, they will repel each other, preventing the panel from fitting properly to the frame. In related technologies, for the sake of mold simplicity, the mounting hole for the magnetic component is designed as a single deep hole on the side to insert it. This makes it difficult to remove and reinstall the magnetic component after installation, and forcibly prying it out from the mounting opening can easily damage components near the mounting hole.

[0053] When the first magnetic component 2 is installed inside the mounting cavity 11 but in the wrong direction, it can be pushed out of the mounting port 12 through the opening 13, thus enabling the removal and reinstallation of the first magnetic component 2. This also facilitates the removal and recycling of the first magnetic component 2 after the faceplate 1 component is scrapped. For example, when the first magnetic component 2 is installed incorrectly or needs to be replaced, a tool can be inserted through the opening 13 to push the first magnetic component 2 out of the mounting port 12.

[0054] According to the embodiment of the air conditioner 1000 of this application, when the first magnetic component 2 is installed incorrectly or needs to be replaced, the first magnetic component 2 can be pushed out of the mounting port 12 through the opening 13 to remove and reinstall the first magnetic component 2. This helps to reduce the difficulty of disassembling the first magnetic component 2, avoid damage at the mounting port 12, and also facilitates the removal and recycling of the first magnetic component 2 after the front frame 1 component is scrapped.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 13 As shown, the first magnetic element 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12 along the first direction Y. The mounting port 12 and the opening 13 are located at the two ends of the mounting cavity 11 in the first direction Y. The mounting port 12 is open in the first direction Y toward the side away from the opening 13, and the opening 13 is open toward the rear side and / or open in the first direction Y toward the side away from the mounting port 12.

[0056] The mounting port 12 and the opening 13 are located at opposite ends of the mounting cavity 11 in the first direction Y. The mounting port 12 is open on the side away from the opening 13 in the first direction Y. The opening 13 can be open to the rear or to the side away from the mounting port 12. The opening 13 is located away from the mounting port 12. The opening 13 has less interference with the installation of the first magnetic component 2, which is beneficial to the installation of the first magnetic component 2.

[0057] For example, the mounting opening 12 can be formed on the front side of the mounting cavity 11, or it can be formed on the side of the mounting cavity 11. Here, "side" refers to the circumferential side, that is, a position other than the front and rear sides, such as the left, right, upper, or lower side, etc. For example, the mounting opening 12 can be formed on the left side of the mounting cavity 11; or, even more exemplaryly, the mounting opening 12 can be formed on the upper side of the mounting cavity 11. This facilitates the installation of the first magnetic element 2.

[0058] For example, when the mounting port 12 is formed on the side of the mounting cavity 11, the opening 13 can be located on the rear side and / or side side of the mounting cavity 11, so that the opening 13 is opposite to the end of the first magnetic member 2 away from the mounting port 12 in the first direction Y. For example, when the mounting port 12 is formed on the front side of the mounting cavity 11, the opening 13 can be located on the rear side of the mounting cavity 11, so that the opening 13 is opposite to the end of the first magnetic member 2 away from the mounting port 12 in the first direction Y.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting port 12 is formed on the side of the mounting cavity 11, the opening 13 is located on the rear side and / or side of the mounting cavity 11, the face frame 1 includes a front stop 14, the front stop 14 is located on the front side of the mounting cavity 11 and participates in defining the mounting cavity 11, and the first magnetic member 2 is located on the rear side of the front stop 14.

[0060] The front stop 14 is located on the front side of the mounting cavity 11, and the first magnetic element 2 is located on the rear side of the front stop 14. The front stop 14 can prevent the first magnetic element 2 from coming out forward and improve the installation stability of the first magnetic element 2.

[0061] The mounting port 12 is located on the side of the mounting cavity 11, and the side edge of the front stop 14 participates in defining the mounting port 12. The first magnetic element 2 is inserted into the mounting cavity 11 via the side of the mounting cavity 11.

[0062] The form of the front baffle 14 is not limited; for example, it can be a closed form or a hollow form.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the front stop 14 forms a rearwardly recessed groove 141 at the corresponding mounting cavity 11. The rear wall of the groove 141 constitutes the front wall of the mounting cavity 11. The second magnetic member 4 protrudes from the rear side of the panel 3 and extends into the groove 141. In this way, since the second magnetic member 4 protrudes from the rear side of the panel 3, the processing difficulty of the panel 3 can be reduced, and it is not necessary to provide the groove for mounting the second magnetic member 4 on the panel 3 as described above.

[0064] Furthermore, since the front stop 14 is recessed relative to the front surface of the face frame 1 to form a recess 141, the first magnetic element 2 and the second magnetic element 4 can be positioned by setting the recess 141. The second magnetic element 4 protrudes from the rear side of the panel 3 and extends into the recess 141, which can improve the accuracy of the fit between the panel 3 and the face frame 1 and help improve assembly efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a spring arm 15 is provided in the mounting cavity 11. The spring arm 15 can swing in the front-back direction. The free end of the spring arm 15 extends forward at an angle relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15, so as to apply a forward elastic stop force to the first magnetic element 2.

[0066] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting opening 12 on the rear side of the faceplate 1 is directly visible, and a portion of the first magnetic component 2 is exposed through the opening 13. The mounting cavity 11 is provided with a spring arm 15. The free end of the spring arm 15 extends forward at an angle relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15. After the first magnetic component 2 is installed into the mounting cavity 11, the first magnetic component 2 presses the spring arm 15 backward, and the free end of the spring arm 15 applies a forward elastic resisting force to the first magnetic component 2, which can press the first magnetic component 2 against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11, reduce shaking, improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2, and help reduce frictional damage to the first magnetic component 2.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, at least a portion of the opening 13 is located on the rear side of the mounting cavity 11, the fixed end of the spring arm 15 is connected to the edge of the opening 13 near the mounting port 12 (i.e. the edge of the portion of the opening 13 located on the rear side of the mounting cavity 11 near the mounting port 12), and the free end of the spring arm 15 extends away from the mounting port 12 relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15.

[0068] The opening 13 and the mounting port 12 are opposite each other along the direction in which the first magnetic component 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12. The positions of the opening 13 and the mounting port 12 are far apart, which can reduce the interference of the opening 13 on the installation of the first magnetic component 2 and improve the smoothness of the installation of the first magnetic component 2. Furthermore, by connecting the fixed end of the spring arm 15 to the edge of the opening 13, the spring arm 15 is far away from the mounting port 12, and the free end of the spring arm 15 extends away from the mounting port 12 relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15. This can reduce the interference of the spring arm 15 on the installation of the first magnetic component 2 and further improve the smoothness of the installation of the first magnetic component 2.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a support rib 16 is provided inside the mounting cavity 11. The support rib 16 is a long strip and extends along the direction in which the first magnetic element 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting opening 12, as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the support rib 16 protrudes forward from the rear wall of the mounting cavity 11 to support the rear side of the first magnetic element 2.

[0070] The support rib 16 is a long strip that extends along the direction from the mounting port 12 into the mounting cavity 11 of the first magnetic component 2. The relatively long length of the support rib 16 provides stable support for the first magnetic component 2. The support rib 16 supports the rear side of the first magnetic component 2, allowing it to press against the front wall of the mounting cavity 11, reducing the shaking of the first magnetic component 2 and improving its installation stability.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the portion of the support rib 16 near the mounting opening 12 is the guide section 161. The thickness of the support rib 16 is the forward-protruding dimension, and the thickness of the support rib 16 at the guide section 161 gradually decreases in the direction towards the mounting opening 12.

[0072] The thickness of the guide section 161, i.e., its front-to-back dimension, gradually increases along the direction in which the first magnetic component 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12. The thickness of the guide section 161 is smallest at the end near the mounting port 12, which reduces interference with the insertion of the first magnetic component 2. The gradual increase in thickness along the direction in which the first magnetic component 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12 also guides the installation of the first magnetic component 2, facilitating its assembly. Similarly, it also facilitates the removal of the first magnetic component 2 from the mounting port 12.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 and Figure 13As shown, the support rib 16 is spaced apart from the mounting opening 12, the surface of the guide section 161 is formed as a first guide surface 1611, and the rear wall of the mounting cavity 11 forms a second guide surface 17 between the mounting opening 12 and the first guide surface 1611. The second guide surface 17 is smoothly connected to the first guide surface 1611 to form a slope that is inclined backward toward the mounting opening 12.

[0074] The front surface of the guide section 161 is a first guide surface 1611. The first guide surface 1611 extends obliquely along the direction in which the first magnetic component 2 enters the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12. The first guide surface 1611 cooperates with the first magnetic component 2 to guide the installation of the first magnetic component 2. The rear wall of the mounting cavity 11 forms a second guide surface 17 between the mounting port 12 and the guide section 161. The second guide surface 17 is formed as a slope that slopes backward toward the mounting port 12, and the second guide surface 17 is smoothly connected to the first guide surface 1611. When the first magnetic component 2 is inserted into the mounting cavity 11 from the mounting port 12, the second guide surface 17 first acts as a guide, and then the first guide surface 1611 guides the first magnetic component 2, facilitating the assembly of the first magnetic component 2. Similarly, it also facilitates the disassembly of the first magnetic component 2 from the mounting port 12.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 and Figure 15 As shown, the width direction X of the support rib 16 is perpendicular to both the extension direction and the front-back direction of the support rib 16. The support rib 16 is a single line and its width is less than or equal to 2 mm; or, the support rib 16 consists of multiple parallel lines and the total width of all the support ribs 16 is less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0076] The support rib 16 can be a single rib or multiple ribs arranged in parallel. When there is only one support rib 16, its width is less than or equal to 2 mm. When there are multiple support ribs 16, their total width is less than or equal to 2 mm. The smaller width of the support rib 16 results in a smaller contact area with the first magnetic component 2, which can mitigate the problem of excessive pressure from the support rib 16 on the first magnetic component 2, preventing bulging of the face frame 1 at the location of the first magnetic component 2 and even deformation of the surrounding structure, thus improving the working stability of the face frame 1. Especially when the face frame 1 is made of plastic, this can prevent the plastic from turning white and cracking due to excessive pressure from the first magnetic component 2.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the extension direction of the support rib 16 is left and right, and the width direction X of the support rib 16 is up and down. Two support ribs 16 are provided in the mounting cavity 11 to facilitate the smooth insertion of the first magnetic component 2. The support ribs 16 are spaced apart along the width direction, and the width of each support rib 16 is less than or equal to 1mm.

[0078] The fact that the widths of the multiple support ribs 16 are similar can improve the uneven force on the first magnetic component 2, which causes the first magnetic component 2 to become skewed, and can improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 16 As shown, the width a of the rear end of the support rib 16 is greater than the width b of the front end of the support rib 16, and the width of at least a portion of the support rib 16 gradually decreases from back to front. The support rib 16 and the first magnetic element 2 are interference-fitted in the front-back direction.

[0080] The support rib 16 has a structure that is wider at the rear end and narrower at the front end. The arrangement of the support rib 16 is relatively stable, and the support rib 16 has little interference with the installation of the first magnetic component 2, which facilitates the installation of the first magnetic component 2. At least part of the width of the support rib 16 gradually decreases from back to front, and the transition of the support rib 16 in the front-back direction is better, which can reduce stress concentration and help improve the structural stability of the support rib 16.

[0081] The support rib 16 is interference-fitted with the first magnetic component 2 in the front-back direction. The support rib 16 pushes the first magnetic component 2 against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 in the front-back direction, which can improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the width a of the rear end of the support rib 16 is 0.5-2.5mm, the width b of the front end of the support rib 16 is 0.1-1mm, and the interference fit c between the support rib 16 and the first magnetic element 2 in the front-rear direction is 0-0.5mm.

[0083] Optionally, the width a of the rear end of the support rib 16 can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm or 2.5mm, etc.

[0084] Optionally, the width b of the front end of the support rib 16 can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm or 1mm, etc.

[0085] Optionally, the interference fit c between the support rib 16 and the first magnetic component 2 in the front-rear direction is 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm or 0.5mm, etc.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 As shown, a limiting rib 18 is provided in the mounting cavity 11. The limiting rib 18 is located on the side of the mounting cavity 11 away from the mounting opening 12, so as to stop the first magnetic element 2 and limit the extreme insertion position of the first magnetic element 2.

[0087] By setting the limiting rib 18, the installation of the first magnetic component 2 can be limited, restricting the extreme insertion position of the first magnetic component 2. This can prevent damage to the internal structure of the mounting cavity 11 caused by over-installation of the first magnetic component 2, improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2, and improve the accuracy of the installation position of the first magnetic component 2.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, a stop rib 19 is also provided in the mounting cavity 11. The stop rib 19 is used to stop the first magnetic component 2, so as to limit the movement of the first magnetic component 2 and improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, a limiting rib 18 is provided in the mounting cavity 11. The limiting rib 18 is connected to the end of the support rib 16 away from the mounting opening 12, so as to stop the first magnetic element 2 and limit the extreme insertion position of the first magnetic element 2.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, a stop rib 19 is also provided in the mounting cavity 11. The stop rib 19 is used to stop the first magnetic component 2, so as to limit the movement of the first magnetic component 2 and improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0091] By connecting the limiting rib 18 to the section of the support rib 16 away from the mounting opening 12, the arrangement of the limiting rib 18 can be facilitated, and manufacturing can be made easier.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting rib 18 and the supporting rib 16 are integrally formed, which can improve the integrity of the limiting rib 18 and the supporting rib 16 and is conducive to improving the structural stability of the limiting rib 18.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, a stop rib 19 is also provided in the mounting cavity 11. The stop rib 19 is used to stop the first magnetic component 2 to limit the movement of the first magnetic component 2 along the width direction X of the support rib 16. Thus, the first magnetic component 2 is stopped and limited in the front-back direction, and is limited to move in the installation direction by the limiting rib 18 in the extension direction of the support rib 16. In the width direction X of the support rib 16, it is stopped and limited by the stop rib 19 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity, which can improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 and Figure 15As shown, there are two parallel support ribs 16. Each support rib 16 has a limit rib 18 connected to the end away from the mounting opening 12. A spring arm 15 is provided in the mounting cavity 11. The free end of the spring arm 15 extends away from the mounting opening 12 relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15. The free end of the spring arm 15 extends forward at an angle relative to the fixed end of the spring arm 15. The free end of the spring arm 15 can swing in the front-back direction to apply a forward elastic stop force to the first magnetic element 2. The spring arm 15 is located between the two support ribs 16 and is positioned away from the mounting opening 12 relative to the support ribs 16.

[0095] There are two support ribs 16, which ensures that the first magnetic element 2 is subjected to uniform force and reduces the occurrence of the first magnetic element 2 being tilted. In addition, each support rib 16 is connected to a limit rib 18 at its end, which can improve the effect of limiting the extreme insertion position of the first magnetic element 2.

[0096] A spring arm 15 is also provided between the two support ribs 16. After the first magnetic component 2 is installed into the mounting cavity 11, the first magnetic component 2 presses the spring arm 15 backward. The free end of the spring arm 15 applies a forward elastic stop force to the first magnetic component 2, which can press the first magnetic component 2 against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11, reduce shaking, and further improve the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second magnetic element 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the panel 3; as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the left side of the face frame 1 has one or more mounting cavities 11 arranged vertically at intervals, and the left side of the mounting cavity 11 on the left side of the face frame 1 forms a mounting opening 12, and the right rear side of the mounting cavity 11 on the left side of the face frame 1 has an opening 13; the right side of the face frame 1 has one or more mounting cavities 11 arranged vertically at intervals, and the right side of the mounting cavity 11 on the right side of the face frame 1 forms a mounting opening 12, and the left rear side of the mounting cavity 11 on the right side of the face frame 1 has an opening 13.

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, the dashed lines indicate the installation positions of the first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 4. The second magnetic component 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the panel 3, and the mounting cavity 11 is provided on both the left and right sides of the frame 1. The first magnetic component 2 is provided in the mounting cavity 11. The panel 3 and the frame 1 are stably engaged by magnetic attraction on the left and right sides.

[0099] Optionally, a single mounting cavity 11 can be provided on the same side, either on the left or right, or multiple mounting cavities 11 can be provided at vertical intervals. By providing multiple mounting cavities 11 and arranging the first magnetic element 2 in each cavity, that is, by providing multiple first magnetic elements 2 at vertical intervals on the same side, the magnetic attraction effect can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the fit between the panel 3 and the frame 1.

[0100] A mounting opening 12 is formed on the left side of the mounting cavity 11 located on the left side of the face frame 1. An opening 13 is provided on the right rear side of the mounting cavity 11 located on the left side of the face frame 1. A mounting opening 12 is formed on the right side of the mounting cavity 11 located on the right side of the face frame 1. An opening 13 is provided on the left rear side of the mounting cavity 11 located on the right side of the face frame 1. By forming an opening 13 on the rear side of the face frame 1, accidental contact with the first magnetic component 2 exposed through the opening 13 can be reduced, and the installation stability of the first magnetic component 2 can be improved. When the first magnetic component 2 is installed incorrectly or needs to be replaced, a tool can be inserted through the opening 13, and the tool can be used to push the first magnetic component 2 out of the mounting opening 12.

Figure 4 and Figure 17 As shown, the faceplate 1 has a disassembly port 1a corresponding to the detachable part. The detachable part is disassembled and assembled through the disassembly port 1a, and the panel 3 at least covers the disassembly port 1a.

[0102] The detachable component includes one of the water tank, wet membrane, and purification component. The disassembly port 1a is covered by the panel 3. The magnetically attached panel 3 and the face frame 1 are easy to assemble and disassemble, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of detachable components such as water tank, wet membrane, and purification component. This helps to improve assembly efficiency and facilitates subsequent maintenance of water tank, wet membrane, and purification component.
