The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0059] 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.

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.

[0060] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0061] The mounting bracket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] like Figures 1-4 and Figure 16 As shown, a mounting bracket 100 has a mounting groove 1. The mounting groove 1 includes a first groove 11 and a second groove 12 arranged sequentially along a first direction. The first groove 11 has a first opening 110 on one side in a second direction. The second groove 12 is at least one, and the second groove 12 has a second opening 120 on the side where the first opening 110 is located. The second groove 12 is open to the side facing the first groove 11 to form a connecting opening 13. The connecting opening 13 connects the first groove 11 and the second groove 12. At least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in a third direction extends to the first groove 11, and the aforementioned at least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction is spaced apart between the two side walls of the first groove 11 in the third direction, so that at least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction participates in defining a space suitable for accommodating a structural member in the first groove 11. The first opening 110 is configured to allow the structural member to pass through and be inserted into the first groove 11. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0063] It can be understood that the first groove 110 and the second groove 120 are formed on the same side of the mounting groove 1. Therefore, the orientation of the first groove 110 of the first groove 11 is the same as the orientation of the second groove 120 of the second groove 12. Furthermore, the second groove 12 and the first groove 11 are connected through the connecting port 13. Thus, the first groove 110, the second groove 120, and the connecting port 13 can be connected to each other.

[0064] Let the two side walls of the first groove 11 in the third direction be the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112, respectively. In the third direction, at least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction is located between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112. The aforementioned at least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction participates in defining a space for accommodating the structural member in the first groove 11. Then, the aforementioned at least one of the two side walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction extends into the first groove 11, and at least a portion of the first groove 11 is configured as the space for accommodating the structural member.

[0065] The first slot 110 is configured to allow the structural component to pass through and be inserted into the first groove 11. This can be understood as follows: when the structural component is inserted into the first groove 11, it can be aligned with the first slot 110 and brought close to the first groove 11, allowing it to engage with the first groove 11. Regarding the fit between the structural component and the groove wall of the first groove 11, this application does not impose specific limitations, as long as the first groove 11 can accommodate the structural component. For example, at least one side of the groove wall of the first groove 11 may engage with the structural component. Similarly, the fit between the two side groove walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction and the structural component is also not specifically limited. For example, at least one of the aforementioned side groove walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction may engage with the structural component. In this case, at least one of the aforementioned side groove walls of the second groove 12 in the third direction can form a positioning rib that restricts the structural component.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the stop-stop cooperation between A and B can include direct stop-stop between A and B, or the presence of other components between A and B, so that A can indirectly stop-stop with B through other components.

[0067] As can be seen, in the above-mentioned configuration of this application, since the first groove 110 and the second groove 120 are formed on the same side of the mounting groove 1, and the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are connected through the connecting port 13, when the mounting bracket 100 is processed using a mold, the protrusion portion on the mold corresponding to the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 has a large thickness in the first direction; in other words, although the second groove 12 does not participate in accommodating structural components, the configuration of the second groove 12 can increase the thickness of the above-mentioned protrusion portion on the mold, increase the strength and rigidity of the protrusion portion, improve the thin steel problem of the mold, reduce the risk of deformation, cracking, wear, etc. caused by insufficient strength due to excessive thickness of the protrusion component used to process the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 on the mold, improve the reliability of the mold, and at the same time improve the feasibility and implementability of the mold.

[0068] For example, the mold has a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion is used to process a first groove 11, and the second protrusion is used to process a second groove 12. Since the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are connected through a connecting port 13, the thickness of the protrusion portion formed after the first protrusion and the second protrusion are connected is increased, and the strength and rigidity are correspondingly improved.

[0069] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, there are no specific limitations on the structural components. The structural components can be the sensor 101 described below, but are not limited to it.

[0070] For example, the second direction F2 is the vertical direction, and both the first slot 110 and the second slot 120 are arranged downwards. Figure 2 and Figure 3The structure of the bottom of the mounting bracket 100 is shown in the image. The structural components can be inserted into the first groove 11 from bottom to top. One of the first direction F1 and the second direction F3 is the left-right direction, and the other is the front-back direction.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the width x2 of the first groove 11 in the third direction is greater than its width x1 in the first direction. It is evident that the width of the first groove 11 in the first direction is relatively small. In some technologies, a second groove 12 is not provided, resulting in the first protrusion on the mold used for processing the first groove 11 having insufficient thickness in the first direction. This leads to a relatively high risk of deformation, cracking, and wear at the first protrusion. This embodiment of the application, by providing a second groove 12, can improve the problem of thin steel in the mold. Even if the first groove 11 is set as a flat groove, this embodiment of the application can still reduce the risk of mold damage and improve the reliability of mold use.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown, the first groove 11 has two side walls on the third direction, namely the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112. The second groove 12 has two side walls on the third direction, namely the third groove wall 121 and the fourth groove wall 122. The third groove wall 121 is connected to the first groove wall 111. The fourth groove wall 122 extends into the first groove 11 and is located between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112. In the third direction, the fourth groove wall 122 is spaced between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112. At least the fourth groove wall 122 extends into the first groove 11 so that the fourth groove wall 122 participates in defining the space for accommodating the structural member. When the structural member is fitted into the first groove 11, the fourth groove wall 122 can fit into the structural member. For example, the fourth groove wall 122 can fit into the structural member to improve the installation stability of the structural member. Therefore, the arrangement of the third groove wall 121 and the fourth groove wall 122 can not only improve the problem of thin steel in the mold, but also enhance the strength and rigidity of the first groove wall 111, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the first groove 11.

[0073] It is understandable that if the second groove 12 is a single unit, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the second groove 12 has two side walls on the third direction, namely the third groove wall 121 and the fourth groove wall 122. If there are multiple second grooves 12, the multiple second grooves 12 can be arranged at intervals along the third direction. Then, in the third direction, the second groove 12 closest to the first groove wall 111 has two side walls on the third direction, namely the third groove wall 121 and the fourth groove wall 122.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown, the third groove wall 121 protrudes from the first groove wall 111 on the side facing the fourth groove wall 122, so that the third groove wall 121 is suitable for abutting against the structural member. Thus, the third groove wall 121 can also be used to help define the space for accommodating the structural member in the first groove 11, and at the same time, the third groove wall 121 can also limit the structural member to a certain extent, which is beneficial to further improve the installation stability of the structural member. Of course, in other embodiments, the third groove wall 121 can also be spaced apart from the first groove wall 111, for example, the third groove wall 121 can be spaced between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112, and the third groove wall 121 can extend into the first groove 11, so that the third groove wall 121 can also help define the space for accommodating the structural member in the first groove 11.

[0075] For example, when there is one second groove 12, at least one of the two groove walls on the third direction of the second groove 12 can participate in defining the space. When there are multiple second grooves 12, multiple groove walls can be used to limit the structure. For example, if there are two second grooves 12, and the two second grooves 12 are spaced apart along the third direction, then two, three, or four groove walls can be used to define the space.

[0076] In some embodiments, there are multiple second grooves 12, and the multiple second grooves 12 are spaced apart along a third direction, with adjacent two second grooves 12 sharing a groove wall. Thus, when there are multiple second grooves 12, it is beneficial to simplify the structure of the mounting bracket 100.

[0077] It is understandable that the number of the second grooves 12 can be specifically set according to parameters such as the width of the first groove 11 in the third direction.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown, the groove wall of the first groove 11 is provided with a foolproof structure 2 extending in the second direction. The foolproof structure 2 is adapted to slide and engage with the mating part 101a on the structural component in the second direction. Therefore, the foolproof structure 2 allows operators to quickly adjust the structural component to the correct insertion position for installation, that is, to adjust the structural component to the position where the mating part 101a is opposite to the foolproof structure 2. This reduces assembly errors that could lead to inefficient assembly, thus preventing mistakes and improving the installation efficiency of the structural component.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16As shown, the foolproof structure 2 is provided on the side wall of the first groove 11 opposite to the connecting port 13.

[0080] In some embodiments, the foolproof structure 2 includes a foolproof protrusion and / or a foolproof groove. Therefore, the foolproof structure 2 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and does not easily affect the insertion of the structural component into the first groove 11. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the foolproof structure 2 includes a foolproof protrusion, and the mating part 101a is formed as a mating groove.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown, the first groove 11 has a first groove bottom wall 113 that is disposed opposite to the first groove opening 110. Both sides of the first groove 11 in the third direction are connected to the first groove bottom wall 113. The two sides of the first groove 11 in the third direction are the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112, respectively. The first groove wall 111 is connected to the first groove bottom wall 113, and the second groove wall 112 is connected to the first groove bottom wall 113. An elastic buckle 3 is provided on the second groove wall 112. The elastic buckle 3 is spaced apart from the groove wall of the second groove 12 in the third direction. The elastic buckle 3 is cantilevered, and the free end 3a of the elastic buckle 3 extends inclinedly toward the first groove bottom wall 113 and toward the direction close to the first groove wall 111. As can be seen, relative to the free end 3a, the fixed end 3b of the elastic buckle 3 is located near the first slot 110, or in other words, relative to the fixed end 3b, the free end 3a of the elastic buckle 3 is located near the bottom wall 113 of the first slot. During the insertion process of the structural component, the elastic buckle 3 can be squeezed, and the elastic buckle 3 undergoes elastic deformation to avoid the structural component. After the structural component is installed in place, the elastic buckle 3 tends to return to its initial state, and the free end 3a of the elastic buckle 3 abuts against the structural component, so that at least part of the structural component can be clamped between the bottom wall 113 of the first slot and the elastic buckle 3, so as to realize the limiting of the structural component in the second direction and improve the installation reliability of the structural component.

[0082] It is understandable that in some technologies, a separate limiting structure is set to press against the structural member and restrict the structural member to the first groove 11. The setting of the elastic buckle 3 in this application does not require a separate limiting structure, which helps to simplify the structure of the mounting bracket 100.

[0083] In addition, the elastic buckle 3 can also be used to detach the structural component from the first groove 11. For example, by installing the elastic buckle 3, the elastic buckle 3 can be disengaged from the structural component, and the structural component can be removed from the first groove 11 through the first slot 110.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16As shown, there is one second groove 12. The two groove walls of the second groove 12 are spaced apart on the side of the elastic buckle 3 facing the first groove wall 111 in the third direction. This helps to reduce the risk of interference between the groove wall of the second groove 12 and the elastic buckle 3. The groove wall of the second groove 12 is not likely to affect the cooperation between the structural component and the elastic buckle 3, and it is also not likely to prevent the elastic buckle 3 from deforming under the pressure of the structural component.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 16 As shown, a notch 14 communicating with the first groove 11 is defined between the second groove wall 112 and the elastic snap 3. This allows for inspection of whether the structural component is properly installed through the notch 14. It can be understood that a portion of the structural component may be exposed through the notch 14, or a portion of the structural component may fit into the notch 14. For example, if the notch 14 is located between the elastic snap 3 and the bottom wall 113 of the first groove, and a portion of the structural component fits into the notch 14, this facilitates a stop between the aforementioned portion of the structural component and the elastic snap 3 after installation.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown, the second groove 12 has a second groove bottom wall 123 that is disposed opposite to the second groove opening 120. The second groove bottom wall 123 is integrally connected to the first groove bottom wall 113, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting groove 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 is a one-piece injection molded part. This facilitates the processing of the mounting bracket 100 and makes it easier to achieve good structural strength and rigidity for the mounting bracket 100.

[0088] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, a sensor assembly 200 includes a mounting bracket 100 and a sensor 101. The mounting bracket 100 is the same as the mounting bracket 100 described in the first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The sensor 101 is positioned and fitted into a first groove 11, and the sensor 101 is adapted to be inserted into the first groove 11 through a first slot 110. In other words, the first slot 110 is configured to allow the sensor 101 to pass through and be inserted into the first groove 11. In this case, the aforementioned structural component is the sensor 101.

[0089] According to the sensor assembly 200 of this utility model embodiment, by adopting the above-mentioned mounting bracket 100, the sensor 101 can be reliably installed, and the thin steel problem of the mold can be improved, reducing maintenance costs.

[0090] For example, sensor 101 is a Hall sensor 101, but is not limited thereto.

[0091] An air handling device 300 according to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a housing assembly 201, a fan assembly 202, a humidification assembly 203, and a sensor assembly 200. The housing assembly 201 forms an air handling duct and an airflow inlet 201a and an airflow outlet 201b communicating with the air handling duct. The fan assembly 202 is disposed inside the air handling duct. The fan assembly 202 can drive air outside the housing assembly 201 to enter the air handling duct through the airflow inlet 201a and be discharged through the airflow outlet 201b, so as to realize the circulation of airflow between the air handling duct and the external space of the air handling device 300.

[0092] The humidification assembly 203 includes a water tank 2031, a delivery pump, and a wet membrane 2032. The wet membrane 2032 is disposed in the air handling duct. The delivery pump is connected to the water tank 2031 and is used to pump water from the water tank 2031 to the wet membrane 2032. The sensor assembly 200 is the sensor assembly 200 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention described above. The water tank 2031 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 100, which is disposed on the housing assembly 201. The sensor 101 is disposed adjacent to the water tank 2031 and is used to detect the water level in the water tank 2031. This allows for timely notification of water replacement by sensing the water level in the water tank 2031, thus preventing the water pump of the humidification assembly 203 from running dry and burning out components such as the water pump after the water level drops.

[0093] It is understood that the water tank 2031 is used to store liquids such as tap water for humidification. The delivery pump pumps the water in the water tank 2031 to the wet membrane 2032, which increases the humidity of the wet membrane 2032. The airflow in the air handling duct passes through the wet membrane 2032 as it flows from the airflow inlet to the airflow outlet. Thus, the humidity of the airflow can be increased through the wet membrane 2032 to achieve humidification treatment of the airflow.

[0094] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air handling device 300, by employing the aforementioned sensor assembly 200, can not only detect the water level in the water tank 2031, but also improve the thin steel problem of the mold used for processing the mounting bracket 100, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0095] In some embodiments, a float is provided inside the water tank 2031. The float moves up and down with the liquid level inside the water tank 2031. The float cooperates with the sensor 101 so that the sensor 101 can obtain the liquid level information inside the water tank 2031. At the same time, the sensor 101 can also determine whether the water tank 2031 is installed on the mounting bracket 100. Furthermore, the sensor 101 communicates with the fan assembly 202. The air handling unit 300 is configured such that when the sensor 101 determines that the water tank 2031 has been removed from the mounting bracket 100, the fan assembly 202 stops operating to prevent users from accidentally touching the impeller of the fan assembly 202 inside, thereby reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 is integrally connected to the housing assembly 201. Therefore, the mounting bracket is integrally connected to a certain structure of the housing assembly 201. This does not mean that the housing assembly 201 is a single piece. The housing assembly 201 can be a single piece or a separate piece.

[0097] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 100 may also be separately disposed from the housing assembly 201, and the two may be connected by assembly means, and the specific connection method is not limited.

[0098] In some embodiments, the airflow inlet includes a fresh air inlet and / or an indoor air inlet. The fresh air inlet is used to introduce outdoor airflow, and the indoor air inlet is used to introduce indoor airflow. For example, the housing assembly 201 is provided with a first switch door for opening or closing the fresh air inlet and a second switch door for opening or closing the indoor air inlet. Different modes of control of the air handling unit 300 can be achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the first and second switch doors. For example, when the first switch door is open and the second switch door is closed, the air handling unit 300 introduces fresh outdoor air into the room and processes it through the wet membrane 2032. When both the first and second switch doors are open, the air handling unit 300 can introduce fresh outdoor air into the room and simultaneously achieve indoor air circulation. When the first switch door is closed and the second switch door is open, the air handling unit 300 performs indoor air circulation.

[0099] An air conditioner according to a fourth aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a casing, a heat exchange and air supply assembly, and an air handling unit 300. The casing has a heat exchange duct and an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the heat exchange duct. The heat exchange and air supply assembly is disposed within the heat exchange duct. The air handling unit 300 is the same as the air handling unit 300 described in the third aspect embodiment of the present invention, and is disposed within the casing. Therefore, the air conditioner can regulate indoor air heat exchange through the heat exchange and air supply assembly, and simultaneously regulate indoor air humidity through the air handling unit 300.

[0100] It is understood that the relative arrangement of the air handling unit 300 and the housing is not specifically limited in this application; for example, the air handling unit 300 may be located inside the housing, or the air handling unit 300 may be located outside the housing, or a portion of the housing assembly 201 of the air handling unit 300 may be integrally connected to the housing.

[0101] The air conditioner according to the present invention, by employing the above-described air handling device 300, facilitates the improvement of air quality and reduces mold costs.

[0102] It is worth noting that the type of air conditioner according to the embodiments of this application is not limited, and can be an integrated air conditioner or a split air conditioner. An integrated air conditioner may include a window air conditioner or a portable air conditioner, and a split air conditioner may include a wall-mounted air conditioner or a floor-standing air conditioner.

[0103] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a floor-standing air conditioner. The floor-standing air conditioner has a placement portion at its bottom end, which is suitable for placement on the ground, allowing the air conditioner to be placed vertically; and / or, the floor-standing air conditioner has a mounting portion at its rear, which is suitable for cooperation with a wall-mounting assembly to mount the floor-standing air conditioner to a wall. In this case, the wall-mounting assembly is connected to the wall, and the floor-standing air conditioner cooperates with the wall-mounting assembly, resulting in a vertically mounted floor-standing air conditioner.
