[0032] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing assembly 1 and a heat exchange and air supply assembly 2. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 is disposed inside the housing assembly 1. The housing assembly 1 includes a housing 11 and a reinforcing plate 12. An air inlet 11a and an air outlet 11b are formed on the housing 11. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 drives external air to enter the housing 11 through the air inlet 11a and exit through the air outlet 11b, thereby achieving forced circulation of airflow within the air conditioner 100 in the external space. Furthermore, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 regulates the heat exchange of the airflow, thereby achieving temperature regulation of the indoor air.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a mounting position 111 is formed on the inner wall surface of the housing 11. A first latch 112 and a second latch 113 are provided on the inner wall surface of the housing 11. The first latch 112 and the second latch 113 are located on opposite sides of the mounting position 111 along the width direction. Please refer to the attached image. Figures 5 to 8The reinforcing plate 12 has a first side portion 121 formed at one end along its width direction, and a first buckle 112 presses against the first side portion 121. The reinforcing plate 12 has a second side portion 122 and a clearance notch 123 formed on the other side along its width direction. The first side portion 121 and the clearance notch 123 are arranged along the length direction of the reinforcing plate 12. The reinforcing plate 12 has a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the housing 11. In the locked state, the reinforcing plate 12 is fixed relative to the housing 11. In the unlocked state, the reinforcing plate 12 can slide relative to the housing 11 along its length direction so that the reinforcing plate 12 can switch between an installed position and a disassembled position. In the installed position, the second buckle 113 presses against the second side portion 122. In the disassembled position, the second buckle 113 is located at the clearance notch 123.

[0035] In other words, in the installation position, the first latch 112 presses against the first side portion 121 and the second latch 113 presses against the second side portion 122. That is, the first latch 112 and the second latch 113 respectively fix the two ends of the reinforcing plate 12 along the width direction to improve the fixing stability of the reinforcing plate 12. In the disassembly position, the reinforcing plate 12 can avoid the second latch 113 by avoiding the notch 123, so as to adjust the positional relationship between the second side portion 122 and the second latch 113 in the thickness direction of the reinforcing plate 12, thereby realizing the installation or disassembly of the reinforcing plate 12.

[0036] Specifically, during the process of installing the reinforcing plate 12 to the mounting position 111 on the inner wall of the housing 11, the first side part 121 can be inserted into the first buckle 112 firstly, and the position of the reinforcing plate 12 relative to the housing 11 in the length direction can be adjusted so that the second buckle 113 is opposite to the clearance notch 123. At this time, the reinforcing plate 12 is in the disassembly position. Furthermore, by pressing down the second side portion 122, the second buckle 113 passes through the clearance notch 123, and the second side portion 122 moves to the lower side of the second buckle 113. That is, at this time, along the length direction of the reinforcing plate 12, the limiting space formed between the second buckle 113 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11 is opposite to the second side portion 122. Then, by pushing the reinforcing plate 12 to slide relative to the housing 11 along the length direction, at least a portion of the second side portion 122 enters into the limiting space formed between the second buckle 113 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11 and contacts the second buckle 113, so as to form the second buckle 113 pressing against the second side portion 122. At this time, the reinforcing plate 12 is in the installation position to fix the reinforcing plate 12 by the first buckle 112 and the second buckle 113.

[0037] Furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble the reinforcing plate 12, first switch the reinforcing plate 12 to the unlocked state and push the reinforcing plate 12 to slide relative to the housing 11 along the length direction, so that the clearance notch 123 moves to the second latch 113 to release the second latch 113 from the restriction of the reinforcing plate 12. With the help of the clearance notch 123, it is easy to lift one end of the second side 122 of the reinforcing plate 12. After the second side 122 moves to the side of the second latch 113 away from the inner wall of the housing 11, the reinforcing plate 12 can be pulled away along the width direction of the reinforcing plate 12 in a direction away from the first latch 112, so that the first side 121 is separated from the first latch 112, thereby completing the disassembly of the reinforcing plate 12.

[0038] Therefore, by providing an avoidance notch 123 on the reinforcing plate 12 and switching between the installation position and the disassembly position by pushing the reinforcing plate 12 to slide along the length direction, the connection structure between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11 can be simplified, and the difficulty of installing and disassembling the reinforcing plate 12 can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of installing and disassembling the reinforcing plate 12.

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 can simplify the connection structure between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11 by providing an avoidance notch 123 on the reinforcing plate 12 and switching between the installation position and the disassembly position by pushing the reinforcing plate 12 to slide along the length direction. This reduces the difficulty of installing and disassembling the reinforcing plate 12, thereby improving the efficiency of installing and disassembling the reinforcing plate 12.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and 5 As shown, both the first buckle 112 and the second buckle 113 are provided with multiple buckles spaced apart along the length of the reinforcing plate 12, and each second buckle 113 corresponds to at least one clearance notch 123. That is, one end of the reinforcing plate 12 along the width direction is fixed by multiple first buckles 112, and the other end of the reinforcing plate 12 along the width direction is fixed by multiple second buckles 113. Thus, the fixing positions of the reinforcing plate 12 in the length direction can be increased to reliably press the reinforcing plate 12 against the inner wall surface of the housing 11, thereby ensuring a more effective fit between the reinforcing plate 12 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11, that is, increasing the contact area between the reinforcing plate 12 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11, thereby improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11.

[0041] In a specific example, along the length of the reinforcing plate 12, a plurality of first buckles 112 are evenly spaced and a plurality of second buckles 113 are evenly spaced, thereby ensuring that the positions of the plurality of first buckles 112 and the plurality of second buckles 113 fixing the reinforcing plate 12 are evenly distributed, so that the reinforcing plate 12 can reliably fit against the inner wall surface of the housing 11, thereby improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11.

[0042] It should be noted that the first side portion 121 can be an integral part extending along the length direction of the reinforcing plate 12, that is, multiple first buckles 112 are pressed against the same first side portion 121, which can improve the uniformity of the pressure exerted by multiple first buckles 112 on the first side portion 121; the first side portion 121 can also be multiple parts arranged at intervals along the length direction of the reinforcing plate 12, with multiple first buckles 112 corresponding to multiple first side portions 121 one by one.

[0043] Furthermore, since each second latch 113 corresponds to at least one clearance notch 123, the reinforcing plate 12 can avoid the corresponding second latch 113 through multiple clearance notches 123, thereby enabling the installation or removal of the reinforcing plate 12. Each second latch 113 corresponds to at least one second side portion 122. For example, each second latch 113 may correspond to only one second side portion 122, or each second latch 113 may correspond to two second side portions 122; no specific limitation is made here. For example, in some embodiments, the length direction of the reinforcing plate 12 is vertical, and multiple second side portions 122 and multiple clearance notches 123 are arranged alternately along the vertical direction. That is, each clearance notch 123 has a second side portion 122 on both opposite sides. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 12 can be installed or removed by pushing it upwards or downwards, making operation easier.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the number of first buckles 112 and second buckles 113 are the same and they correspond one-to-one. The first buckles 112 and the corresponding second buckles 113 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the reinforcing plate 12. That is, the first buckles 112 and the corresponding second buckles 113 fix the same part of the reinforcing plate 12 in the length direction. Therefore, the symmetry of the fixing of the reinforcing plate 12 by the first buckles 112 and the corresponding second buckles 113 can be better guaranteed, thereby better preventing the two ends of the reinforcing plate 12 from warping along the width direction, so as to ensure the fit between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11, and thus improve the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, a first connecting hole 114 is formed on the housing 11, and a second connecting hole 124 is provided on the reinforcing plate 12. In the locked state, fasteners pass through the first connecting hole 114 and the second connecting hole 124 to fix the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11. That is, by fixing the reinforcing plate 12 in the locked state with fasteners, the reinforcing plate 12 can be prevented from sliding relative to the housing 11 along its length. Thus, the reinforcing plate 12 can be stably held in the installation position to prevent it from sliding to the disassembly position, thereby preventing the reinforcing plate 12 from falling off the housing 11 and improving the connection stability between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11.

[0046] The fasteners can be threaded fasteners such as screws, or they can be clips, pins, etc. The fasteners are just fasteners that can stably maintain the connection between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11. There are no specific restrictions on the type of fasteners.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the first connecting hole 114 is provided at least one end of the reinforcing plate 12 along the length direction. That is, the first connecting hole 114 can be provided only at one end of the reinforcing plate 12 along the length direction, which can reduce the number of holes on the reinforcing plate 12, thereby reducing the impact on the overall structural strength of the reinforcing plate 12 and reducing the processing steps of opening the holes in the reinforcing plate 12; alternatively, the first connecting hole 114 can be provided at both ends of the reinforcing plate 12 along the length direction. Therefore, fasteners can be used to fix both ends of the reinforcing plate 12 along the length direction to the housing 11 to prevent the ends of the reinforcing plate 12 from sliding along the length direction, thereby increasing the connection position between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11 and improving the stability of the reinforcing plate 12 after installation.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, a connecting bracket 115 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 11. The connecting bracket 115 is located at one end of the mounting position 111 along the length of the reinforcing plate 12. The connecting bracket 115 and the inner wall of the housing 11 together define a limiting slot, and one end of the reinforcing plate 12 along its length is located in the limiting slot. That is to say, during the process of installing the reinforcing plate 12 onto the housing 11, specifically when moving from the disassembly position to the installation position, when the end of the connecting bracket 115 near the connecting bracket 115 is inserted into the limiting slot, the connecting bracket 115 can limit the reinforcing plate 12, so as to more accurately position the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11, thereby improving the installation position accuracy of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11. In addition, the peripheral wall of the limiting slot can effectively limit the reinforcing plate 12, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the reinforcing plate 12 and the housing 11.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a first connecting hole 114 is formed on the connecting bracket 115, and a second connecting hole 124 is provided on the reinforcing plate 12. In the locked state, fasteners pass through the first connecting hole 114 and the second connecting hole 124 to fix the reinforcing plate 12 and the connecting bracket 115. That is to say, while limiting the installation position of the reinforcing member along the length direction through the connecting bracket 115, the connecting bracket 115 can also provide an installation position for the fasteners. Among them, setting the first connecting hole 114 on the connecting bracket 115 can avoid obvious openings on the outer surface of the housing 11, so as to ensure the consistency of the outer surface of the housing 11, and at the same time, it can avoid the adverse effect of openings on the inner wall of the housing 11 on the structural strength of the housing 11.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, multiple spaced cavities 125 are formed within the reinforcing plate 12, and the cavities 125 are arranged along the width direction of the reinforcing plate 12. Therefore, the multiple cavities 125 can effectively improve the deformation resistance of the reinforcing plate 12, that is, can effectively improve the structural strength of the reinforcing plate 12, thereby enhancing the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing plate 12 includes a reinforcing body 126 connected between a first side portion 121 and a second side portion 122. The side of the reinforcing body 126 facing the housing 11 is a first side surface, which is in contact with the inner wall surface of the housing 11. That is, the side of the reinforcing body 126 facing the housing 11 is completely in contact with the inner wall surface of the housing 11. This effectively increases the contact area between the reinforcing plate 12 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11, thereby increasing the area of ​​the reinforcing plate 12 that supports and reinforces the housing 11, thus improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate on the housing 11.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a reinforcing plate 12 is provided on at least one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction. Since the air outlet 11b is an opening penetrating the housing 11, the area of ​​the housing 11 located on the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b is prone to deformation, and the areas of the housing 11 located on opposite sides of the air outlet 11b along the width direction have larger dimensions. Therefore, by providing a reinforcing plate 12 on at least one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction, the strength of the area of ​​the housing 11 located on at least one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction can be effectively strengthened, thereby preventing deformation of the area of ​​the housing 11 located on the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b. Specifically, a reinforcing plate 12 may be provided on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction to strengthen the structural strength of the area of ​​the housing 11 located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction; alternatively, reinforcing plates 12 may be provided on both sides of the air outlet 11b along the width direction to strengthen the structural strength of the areas of the housing 11 located on opposite sides of the air outlet 11b along the width direction.

[0053] In a specific example, the second latch 113 is located on the side of the first latch 112 that is away from the air outlet 11b.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes a switch door 3 for opening or closing the air outlet 11b. The switch door 3 is slidably disposed on the housing assembly 1 along the circumference of the housing 11. In the open position, the switch door 3 is located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction and is located inside the housing assembly 1. In the open position, the switch door 3 and the reinforcing plate 12 are located on the same side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 12 can better strengthen the structural strength of the area on the housing 11 corresponding to the extension or retraction of the switch door 3, thereby better preventing deformation of the housing 11 from affecting the extension or retraction of the switch door 3, and improving the stability of the switch door 3 opening and closing.

[0055] In a specific example, there are two opening and closing doors 3 arranged in the left and right directions. When the left opening and closing door 3 is opened, it retracts to the left into the housing 11 and extends to the right into the air outlet 11b. When the right opening and closing door 3 is opened, it retracts to the right into the housing 11 and extends to the left into the air outlet 11b. Both sides of the air outlet 11b are provided with reinforcing plates 12 in the width direction. The two reinforcing plates 12 can respectively improve the structural strength of the housing 11 located on the opposite sides of the air outlet 11b in the width direction, so as to prevent deformation of the housing 11 located on the opposite sides of the air outlet 11b in the width direction, thereby ensuring that the two opening and closing doors 3 can be extended or retracted smoothly.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, along the length direction of the air outlet 11b, both ends of the reinforcing plate 12 protrude from both ends of the air outlet 11b. That is, along the length direction of the air outlet 11b, the length of the reinforcing plate 12 is greater than the length of the air outlet 11b, and the reinforcing plate 12 completely covers the area of ​​the air outlet 11b to improve the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing plate 12 on the housing 11. For example, in a specific example, the length direction of the air outlet 11b is vertical, the upper end of the reinforcing plate 12 is higher than the upper end of the air outlet 11b, and the lower end of the reinforcing plate 12 is lower than the lower end of the air outlet 11b.
