[0003] In related technologies, an air conditioner casing is equipped with a sliding latch. By changing the position of the latch, it can lock or unlock a cover, thus facilitating the fixing or disassembly of the cover by workers. However, the existing method of fixing the latch to the casing is relatively complex, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary.

[0005] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a sliding buckle structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of low installation efficiency of the sliding buckle.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a sliding buckle structure, including:

[0008] A first mounting component, wherein a mounting hole is provided on the first mounting component;

[0009] A sliding buckle assembly includes a buckle cover and a buckle body. A connector is provided on the buckle body. The buckle cover is located on one side of the first mounting member, and the buckle body is located on the side of the first mounting member away from the buckle cover. The connector passes through the mounting hole, and the buckle cover and the connector are detachably connected.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the connector includes a snap fastener, and the snap cover has a snap hole;

[0011] When the cover is connected to the buckle body, the buckle engages with the buckle hole.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the cover has a receiving hole that communicates with the buckle hole, and the buckle includes a spring arm and a hook.

[0013] When the cover is connected to the buckle body, the elastic arm passes through the buckle hole, and the hook abuts against the wall of the receiving hole.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a connecting block is provided on the side of the buckle cover near the buckle body;

[0015] When the cover is connected to the buckle body, the cover abuts against the first mounting member, and the connecting block abuts against the buckle body.

[0016] In one possible implementation, a guide strip is provided on the wall of the mounting hole;

[0017] When the buckle cover is connected to the buckle body, the buckle cover abuts against the guide strip.

[0018] In one possible implementation, a top block is provided on the side of the buckle cover near the buckle body;

[0019] When the cover is connected to the buckle body, the top block abuts against the guide strip.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the buckle body is provided with a first limiting member and a second limiting member, the first limiting member is provided with a first limiting groove, the second limiting member is provided with a second limiting groove, and the first mounting member is provided with a first engaging block and a second engaging block at intervals on the side away from the buckle cover.

[0021] The sliding fastener assembly can slide relative to the first mounting member to a first position and a second position. When the sliding fastener assembly slides to the first position, the first locking block engages with the first limiting groove. When the sliding fastener assembly slides to the second position, the first locking block engages with the first limiting groove.

[0022] In one possible implementation, a first guide slope is connected between the end of the first limiting member away from the second limiting member and the side of the first limiting member where the first limiting groove is formed, and a second guide slope is connected between the end of the second limiting member away from the first limiting member and the side of the second limiting member where the second limiting groove is formed.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the sliding buckle structure further includes a second mounting member, which can be close to or away from the first mounting member. The buckle body is provided with a first limiting block, and the second mounting member is provided with a second limiting block. The second limiting block is provided with a limiting groove.

[0024] The sliding fastener assembly can slide relative to the first mounting member to a first position and a second position. When the sliding fastener assembly slides to the first position, the first limiting block is placed in the limiting groove to restrict the second mounting member from moving away from the first mounting member. When the sliding fastener assembly slides to the second position, the first limiting block slides out of the limiting groove so that the second mounting member can move away from the first mounting member.

[0025] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including the sliding buckle structure as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] This application provides a sliding fastener structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of low installation efficiency of the sliding fastener. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a sliding buckle structure, including a first mounting member 1 and a sliding buckle assembly 3. The first mounting member 1 has a mounting hole 11. The sliding buckle assembly 3 includes a buckle cover 31 and a buckle body 32. A connector 33 is provided on the buckle body 32. The buckle cover 31 is located on one side of the first mounting member 1, and the buckle body 32 is located on the side of the first mounting member 1 away from the buckle cover 31. The connector 33 passes through the mounting hole 11, and the buckle cover 31 and the connector 33 are detachably connected.

[0042] By having the connector 33 pass through the mounting hole 11 and the buckle cover 31 detachably connected to the connector 33, not only can the buckle cover 31 located on one side of the first mounting member 1 be connected to the buckle body 32 located on the other side of the first mounting member 1, but the connection between the sliding buckle assembly 3 and the first mounting member 1 is also realized. The process of installing the sliding buckle assembly 3 onto the first mounting member 1 is quick and convenient, solving the problem of low installation efficiency of the sliding buckle.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the sliding fastener assembly 3 can slide relative to the first mounting member 1 to a first position and a second position. When the sliding fastener assembly 3 slides to the first position, it is in the locked position, and when it slides to the second position, it is in the unlocked position.

[0044] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sliding buckle structure also includes a second mounting member 2, which can move closer to or further away from the first mounting member 1. In this embodiment, one end of the second mounting member 2 is hinged to the first mounting member 1, and the other end can move closer to or further away from the first mounting member 1. In some embodiments of this application, one end of the first mounting member 1 is hinged to the second mounting member 2, and the other end can move closer to or further away from the second mounting member 2. A first limiting block 36 is integrally formed on the buckle body 32, and a second limiting block 21 is integrally formed on the second mounting member 2. A limiting groove 22 is provided on the second limiting block 21. When the sliding buckle assembly 3 slides to the first position, the first limiting block 36 is placed in the limiting groove 22 to limit the second mounting member 2 from moving away from the first mounting member 1. When the sliding buckle assembly 3 slides to the second position, the first limiting block 36 slides out of the limiting groove 22 so that the second mounting member 2 can move away from the first mounting member 1.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 33 includes a buckle, and the buckle cover 31 has a buckle hole 311. Specifically, there are two buckles, and the buckle cover 31 has a buckle hole 311 and a receiving hole 312. The two buckles are spaced apart along the length of the buckle body 32 and are symmetrically arranged. The buckle includes a spring arm 331 and a hook 332. The buckle hole 311 is opened along the thickness direction of the buckle cover 31, and the receiving hole 312 is opened along the length direction of the buckle cover 31. When the buckle cover 31 is connected to the buckle body 32, the spring arm 331 passes through the buckle hole 311, and the hook 332 abuts against the wall of the receiving hole 312. The spring arm 331 has a certain elasticity, so that the hook 332 can return to its original shape after passing through the buckle hole 311 and abut against the wall of the receiving hole 312, forming a stable connection. The buckle design makes the buckle cover 31 and the buckle body 32 reliably connected, while maintaining detachability, which is convenient for disassembly and reinstallation.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4A connecting block 34 is integrally formed on the side of the cover 31 near the buckle body 32. In this embodiment, two connecting blocks 34 are provided, one at each end of the cover 31 along its length. A guide strip 12 is integrally formed on the wall of the mounting hole 11. When the cover 31 is connected to the buckle body 32, the cover 31 abuts against the guide strip 12, and the connecting block 34 abuts against the buckle body 32. The connecting block 34 enhances the connection stability between the cover 31 and the buckle body 32, reducing the occurrence of loosening between the cover 31 and the buckle body 32 during use. The design of the guide strip 12 helps guide the sliding buckle assembly 3 to slide, reducing offset or misalignment during sliding. In addition, multiple top blocks 35 are integrally formed on the side of the cover 31 near the buckle body 32. When the cover 31 is connected to the buckle body 32, the top blocks 35 abut against the guide strip 12. The top block 35 reduces the contact area between the cover 31 and the guide strip 12, thereby facilitating the sliding fastener assembly 3 to slide relative to the first mounting member 1.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The buckle body 32 has a first limiting member 321 and a second limiting member 322 integrally formed on it. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 321 is disposed at one end of the buckle body 32 along its length, and the second limiting member 322 is disposed at the other end of the buckle body 32 along its length. The first limiting member 321 has a first limiting groove 323, and the second limiting member 322 has a second limiting groove 324. The first mounting member 1 has a first engaging block 13 and a second engaging block 14 spaced apart on the side away from the buckle cover 31. When the sliding buckle assembly 3 slides to the first position, the first engaging block 13 engages into the first limiting groove 323. When the sliding buckle assembly 3 slides to the second position, the first engaging block 13 engages into the first limiting groove 323, so that the sliding buckle assembly 3 can switch between two fixed positions and remain stable in each position, thereby allowing the sliding buckle assembly 3 to remain in a locked or unlocked state.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A first guide slope 325 connects the end of the first limiting member 321 away from the second limiting member 322 to the side of the first limiting member 321 where the first limiting groove 323 is formed. The first guide slope 325 facilitates the first locking block 13 into the first limiting groove 323. A second guide slope 326 connects the end of the second limiting member 322 away from the first limiting member 321 to the side of the second limiting member 322 where the second limiting groove 324 is formed. The second guide slope 326 facilitates the second locking block 14 into the second limiting groove 324. The design of the guide slopes allows the first locking block 13 and the second locking block 14 to slide more smoothly into their respective limiting grooves, reducing operating resistance and improving ease of use.

[0049] This application also provides an air conditioner that includes the sliding fastener structure described above. The sliding fastener structure can be applied to panel mounting, filter fixing, or other parts requiring detachable connections in the air conditioner, improving the ease of use and maintenance efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0050] In an air conditioner, the first mounting component 1 can be the air conditioner's casing or internal frame, and the second mounting component 2 can be the air conditioner's panel, filter frame, or other components that need to be connected to the casing. By sliding the sliding fastener assembly 3, the second mounting component 2 and the first mounting component 1 can be locked or released, facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the air conditioner.

[0051] The sliding buckle design makes assembling and disassembling the air conditioner simple and intuitive, requiring no tools and greatly improving user experience and maintenance efficiency. At the same time, the secure connection of the sliding buckle ensures the stability of the components during operation, preventing loosening or detachment due to vibration or other reasons.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
