Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to the installation structure of an air conditioning display box assembly. Background Technology
[0002] In the indoor unit of an air conditioner, the display box assembly is typically mounted inside the panel, with its display screen attached to the panel to visualize information. The display box assembly must be able to support the display screen, resist external impacts, and withstand high temperature and humidity environments to ensure stable transmission of air conditioning information. In existing technologies, display box assemblies are mainly fixed to the panel using multiple screws. Some products use multiple screws or multiple clip structures for assembly. Although this can ensure installation strength, it has certain drawbacks. Screw tightening requires multiple positioning and locking operations, which makes the assembly process cumbersome, significantly reduces production line efficiency, and increases the difficulty of disassembly and assembly for after-sales maintenance. At the same time, many clips on the market have the problem of being easy to install in one direction but difficult to disassemble. For example, in the patent document with patent publication number CN106016645A, multiple elastic hooks 4 are evenly distributed around the second display window 31. During installation, the evenly distributed elastic hooks 4 only need to correspond to one of the mounting holes 12, and the other mounting holes 12 will correspond one by one with the elastic hooks 4. Thus, multiple elastic hooks 4 can be directly passed through multiple mounting holes 12 one by one. However, during disassembly and maintenance, there are problems such as the large number of clips and the narrow clip positions making it difficult to insert hands. In addition, after the plastic structure ages, forced disassembly often leads to damage to the clips, making it difficult to restore the display screen. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide an air conditioner display box assembly installation structure, which provides a display box assembly installation structure that is convenient to install and disassemble.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an air conditioner display box assembly installation structure, including an air conditioner panel and a display box, wherein the air conditioner panel is provided with a display window, and a first sealing rib is provided around the display window, the display box can be embedded in the area surrounded by the first sealing rib, and further includes at least one set of latching parts, wherein the first sealing rib includes a first side edge and a second side edge disposed opposite to each other, and each latching part includes a latching pin disposed on the display box and a latching seat disposed on the first side edge, wherein each latching seat is provided with a latching pin hole for the latching pin to slide through and for circumferentially limiting the latching pin; further includes a fixing part disposed on the second side edge, the fixing part including a screw seat that can be connected to the display box.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this plan are:
[0006] This technical solution uses a snap-fit mechanism to limit movement on one side. During use, the corresponding snap-fit pin is first inserted into the snap-fit hole to limit movement on one side of the display box. Then, the other side is limited and secured using a screw base. Only one screw is needed to fix the display box, significantly reducing the number of steps compared to traditional multi-screw fixing methods. This improves assembly line efficiency and after-sales maintenance efficiency. The snap-fit pin and slot, with one side limiting movement and the other side secured by a screw, ensures simple and accurate installation. Disassembly also requires only removing one screw to easily remove the display box, guaranteeing ease of installation and disassembly while ensuring installation stability.
[0007] The display box can be embedded in the area enclosed by the first sealing rib, and the first sealing rib has a certain height. The two sides of the air conditioner panel are cold air and hot air respectively. Therefore, condensation water is easy to form inside the air conditioner panel. When the condensation water flows downward, it is blocked by the first sealing rib, which prevents the condensation water from contacting the display box, reduces the damage to the internal circuit of the display box caused by water vapor intrusion, and improves the service life and safety of the product in high humidity environment.
[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the display box includes a first side plate and a second side plate disposed opposite to each other, both of which are fixedly disposed on the first side plate, and the second side plate is provided with a first mounting ear, which has a mounting hole and a screw passing through the mounting hole and detachably connected to the screw seat.
[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: the mounting ears on the second side plate are connected to the screw seat through a mounting hole, which greatly reduces the number of screws used. At the same time, it is easy to quickly loosen the screws to complete the operation during disassembly, thus improving the efficiency of maintenance and replacement of the display box.
[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, it also includes a positioning part provided on the second side edge. The positioning part includes a positioning pin and a positioning buckle provided on the second side edge. The side of the display box is provided with a second mounting ear and a card plate that engages with the positioning buckle. The second mounting ear has a card hole that engages with the positioning pin.
[0011] The beneficial effects are as follows: During installation, the corresponding locking pins are pre-inserted into the locking pin holes to limit one side of the display box. Then, the locking holes and locking plates are respectively engaged with the positioning pins and positioning buckles to fix them in place, achieving quick pre-positioning of the display box on the air conditioner panel. The display box is temporarily fixed to the air conditioner panel, freeing the operator's hands to install screws. With the positioning plate in place, screws can be installed directly without adjusting the display box, improving installation efficiency. The dual positioning design of the positioning pins and positioning buckles ensures precise alignment of the display box during installation, effectively avoiding positional shifts or tilts, and improving assembly quality and reliability.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, a third sealing rib is also provided on the outer periphery of the first sealing rib.
[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: the first sealing rib and the third sealing rib form a double layer of protection. The third sealing rib is set on the outer periphery of the first sealing rib. When condensate or moisture penetrates through the third sealing rib, the first sealing rib can act as a second barrier to further prevent moisture from entering the display box, effectively avoiding damage to the display box circuit or internal components caused by condensate. It is suitable for high humidity and high temperature environments.
[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the height of the first sealing rib is greater than that of the third sealing rib.
[0015] The beneficial effects are as follows: the third sealing rib is set on the outer periphery of the first sealing rib to form the first seal, which guides most of the condensate. If some condensate passes over the third sealing rib, the height of the first sealing rib is higher, forming a further barrier to the condensate, further ensuring that the display box does not come into contact with the condensate.
[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the third sealing rib is circumferentially fixed with multiple guide ribs, all of which are perpendicular to the air conditioning panel.
[0017] The beneficial effects are as follows: the guide ribs guide the condensate from the surface of the third sealing rib to the surface of the guide ribs, so that the condensate is distributed on the surface of the guide ribs and diffuses and evaporates as much as possible on the surface of the guide ribs, avoiding the accumulation of condensate near the display box, and further reducing the risk of condensate intruding into the first sealing rib.
[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, a wiring opening is provided on one side of the first sealing rib, and a second sealing rib is provided on the air conditioning panel opposite the wiring opening.
[0019] The beneficial effects are: by providing a second sealing rib at the routing opening, it can help the exchange of hot and cold air at each routing opening, and to a certain extent avoid the formation of condensation at that location, further protecting the display box.

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: air conditioner panel 1, display box 2, first sealing rib 3, card holder 4, screw seat 5, first mounting ear 6, mounting hole 7, positioning pin 8, positioning buckle 9, card plate 10, second mounting ear 11, card hole 12, third sealing rib 13, guide rib 14, wiring opening 15, second sealing rib 16, and locking pin 17. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The following detailed description is provided through specific implementation methods and examples:
[0025] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner display box assembly installation structure shown includes an air conditioner panel 1 and a display box 2. The air conditioner panel 1 has a display window, and a first sealing rib 3 is provided around the display window. When the display box 2 is installed at the display window, the display box 2 can be embedded in the area surrounded by the first sealing rib 3. It also includes at least one set of latching parts. The first sealing rib 3 includes a first side edge and a second side edge that are arranged opposite to each other. Each latching part includes a latching pin 17 provided on the display box 2 and a latching seat 4 provided on the first side edge. Each latching seat 4 is provided with a latching pin hole for the latching pin 17 to pass through. It also includes a fixing part and a positioning part provided on the second side edge. The fixing part includes a screw seat 5 that can be connected to the display box 2. In order to make the structure simple, reliable and easy to assemble, the preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the display box 2 includes a first side plate and a second side plate that are arranged opposite to each other. The latching seat 4 is fixedly provided on the first side plate. The second side plate is provided with a first mounting ear 6. The first mounting ear 6 has a mounting hole 7. A screw passes through the mounting hole 7 and is detachably connected to the screw seat 5.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, this technical solution limits one side by setting a snap-fit part. During use, the corresponding snap-fit pin 17 is first inserted into the snap-fit hole to limit one side of the display box 2. Then, the screw seat 5 limits and fixes the other side. Only one screw is needed to fix the display box 2. Compared to the traditional multi-screw fixing method, this greatly reduces the operation steps and improves the assembly efficiency of the production line and after-sales maintenance efficiency. Through the insertion and cooperation of the snap-fit pin 17 and the seat 4, the method of limiting one side and fixing the other side with a screw ensures simple operation and accurate positioning during installation. At the same time, during disassembly, only one screw needs to be removed to easily remove the display box 2, ensuring the convenience of installation and disassembly, while also ensuring the stability of the installation.
[0027] The display box 2 can be embedded in the area enclosed by the first sealing rib 3, and the first sealing rib 3 has a certain height. The two sides of the air conditioner panel 1 are cold air and hot air respectively. Therefore, condensation water is easy to form inside the air conditioner panel 1. When the condensation water flows downward, it is blocked by the first sealing rib 3 to prevent the condensation water from contacting the display box 2, reduce the damage of water vapor to the internal circuit of the display box 2, and improve the service life and safety of the product in high humidity environment.
[0028] To ensure a simple, reliable structure and ease of assembly, the preferred embodiment of this invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the positioning part includes a positioning pin 8 and a positioning buckle 9 set on the second side edge. The side of the display box 2, i.e., the second side plate, is also provided with a second mounting ear 11 and a locking plate 10 that engages with the positioning buckle 9. The second mounting ear 11 has a locking hole 12 that engages with the positioning pin 8. During installation, the corresponding locking pin 17 is inserted into the locking pin hole in advance to limit one side of the display box 2. Then, the locking hole 12 and the locking plate 10 are engaged with the positioning pin 8 and the positioning buckle 9 respectively to achieve quick pre-positioning of the display box 2 on the air conditioning panel 1. The display box 2 is temporarily fixed on the air conditioning panel 1, and then the operator can free up their hands to install screws. With the pre-positioning of the positioning plate, the display box 2 can be directly installed with screws without further adjustment, improving installation efficiency. The dual positioning design of the positioning pin 8 and the positioning buckle 9 ensures the precise alignment of the display box 2 during the installation process, effectively avoiding positional deviation or tilting, and improving assembly quality and reliability.
[0029] To ensure a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble structure, the preferred embodiment of this invention includes a third sealing rib 13 around the outer periphery of the first sealing rib 3. The first and third sealing ribs form a double-layer protection. The third sealing rib 13 is positioned around the outer periphery of the first sealing rib 3. When condensate or moisture permeates through the third sealing rib 13, the first sealing rib 3 acts as a second barrier, further preventing moisture from entering the display box 2. This effectively avoids damage to the circuitry or internal components of the display box 2 caused by condensate, making it suitable for high-humidity and high-temperature environments. To further ensure that the display box 2 does not come into contact with condensate, the height of the first sealing rib 3 is greater than that of the third sealing rib 13. The third sealing rib 13 is positioned around the outer periphery of the first sealing rib 3, forming a first seal that diverts most of the condensate. If some condensate overflows the third sealing rib 13, the height of the first sealing rib 3 is increased further, creating a further barrier to prevent condensate from contacting the display box 2. To further ensure that the display box 2 does not come into contact with condensate, multiple guide ribs 14 are fixedly provided circumferentially on the third sealing rib 13. The guide ribs 14 are all set perpendicular to the air conditioning panel 1. The guide ribs 14 guide the condensate from the surface of the third sealing rib 13 to the surface of the guide ribs 14, so that the condensate is distributed on the surface of the guide ribs 14 and diffuses and evaporates as much as possible on the surface of the guide ribs 14, avoiding the accumulation of condensate near the display box 2, and further reducing the risk of condensate intruding into the first sealing rib 3.
[0030] To ensure a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble structure, the preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a wiring opening 15 is provided on one side of the first sealing rib 3, and a second sealing rib 16 is provided on the air conditioning panel 1 opposite to the wiring opening 15. By providing the second sealing rib 16 at the wiring opening, it can help the exchange of hot and cold air at the wiring opening 15, and to a certain extent avoid the formation of condensation at that location, further protecting the display box 2.
