[0036] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing assembly 1, an air outlet frame 2, and a heat exchange and air supply assembly 3. The housing assembly 1 includes a housing 11 and a reinforcing structure 12. An air inlet 11a and an air outlet 11b are formed on the housing 11. The reinforcing structure 12 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the housing 11 and is at least partially located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b. Therefore, by providing the reinforcing structure 12 at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b, the strength of the area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b can be effectively enhanced, thereby reducing the risk of cracking in the area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0038] The air outlet frame 2 is located inside the housing 11 and includes an air outlet frame body 21 and a connecting seat 22 located on the air outlet frame body 21. The reinforcing structure 12 is connected to the air outlet frame body 21 through the connecting seat 22. In other words, the area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b can form a continuous force transmission path with the air outlet frame 2 through the connection between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22. Furthermore, since at least a portion of the reinforcing structure 12 is located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b, when the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b is subjected to force, the force can be transmitted to the air outlet frame 2 and dispersed through the connection between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22. This reduces the deformation amplitude of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b under external force, thereby reducing the risk of cracking in the area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0039] In addition, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 3 is located inside the casing 11. Specifically, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 3 can drive external air into the casing 11 through the air inlet 11a, regulate the temperature of the air entering the casing 11 through the heat exchange and air supply assembly 3, and exhaust the regulated airflow back into the room through the air outlet 11b, thereby achieving temperature regulation of the indoor space.
[0040] According to the air conditioner 100 of this utility model embodiment, the reinforcing structure 12 is connected to the air outlet frame body 21 through the connecting seat 22. The area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b can form a continuous force transmission path between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22 and the air outlet frame 2. When the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b is subjected to force, the force can be transmitted to the air outlet frame 2 and dispersed, thereby reducing the deformation amplitude of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b when subjected to external force, so as to reduce the risk of cracking in the area of the housing 11 located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0041] In a specific example, such as Figure 1As shown, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 3 includes a heat exchanger 31 and a fan component 32. The heat exchanger 31 is located upstream of the fan component 32. The fan component 32 drives external air to enter the casing 11 through the air inlet 11a. When the airflow passes through the heat exchanger 31, the heat exchanger 31 regulates the airflow, and the air is finally discharged back into the indoor space through the air outlet 11b to achieve temperature regulation of the indoor space. In addition, a switch door 4 is provided at the air outlet 11b. The switch door 4 is switchably located inside the casing 11 between an open position and a closed position to open or close the air outlet 11b.
[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22 are connected by fasteners. That is, the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22 are directly connected by fasteners. As a result, an effective and direct transmission path can be formed between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22, so that the impact force borne by the reinforcing structure 12 can be quickly and directly transmitted to the air outlet frame 2 through the connecting seat 22 and dispersed, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0043] The fasteners can be threaded fasteners, which have the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. Threaded fasteners enable a tight connection between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22. Furthermore, they reduce costs while ensuring the connection strength between the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22. Optionally, the threaded fasteners can be screws, bolts, or studs. Of course, the fasteners can also be any connecting parts with a fastening function, such as clips, etc., which will not be listed here.
[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the connecting seat 22 is located on the rear side of the reinforcing structure 12. A first connecting hole 221 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the connecting seat 22, and a second connecting hole 1221 is formed on the reinforcing structure 12. Fasteners pass through the first and second connecting holes 221 and 1221 in the front-rear direction to connect the connecting seat 22 and the reinforcing structure 12. Therefore, during the assembly process where the air outlet frame 2 is installed into the housing 11 from back to front, the connecting seat 22 is positioned on the rear side of the reinforcing structure 12, facilitating the alignment of the first and second connecting holes 221. After the first and second connecting holes 221 are aligned, fasteners can be inserted and fixed from the side of the first connecting hole 221 away from the second connecting hole 1221, reducing the difficulty of connecting the connecting seat 22 and the reinforcing structure 12 and improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100. Furthermore, the connecting seat 22 provides forward support to the reinforcing structure 12, reducing the deformation of the housing 11.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the reinforcing structure 12 includes a reinforcing part 121 and a connecting arm 122. The reinforcing part 121 is located at the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b. One end of the connecting arm 122 is connected to the reinforcing part 121, and the other end of the connecting arm 122 extends away from the air outlet 11b. The reinforcing part 121 is connected to the connecting seat 22 through the connecting arm 122. In other words, the reinforcing part 121 can strengthen the structural strength of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b, thereby reducing the deformation amplitude of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b when subjected to external force. Furthermore, since the reinforcing part 121 is connected to the connecting arm 122, when the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b where the reinforcing part 121 is located is subjected to impact force, the force can be transmitted and dispersed away from the air outlet 11b through the connecting arm 122. That is, the force on the housing 11 located in the area of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b is transmitted to the housing 11 away from the air outlet 11b, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0046] The reinforcing part 121 and the connecting arm 122 are both located on the inner wall surface of the housing 11, which can improve the effect of the reinforcing structure 12 in distributing the force.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, reinforcing ribs 113 are provided on the inner wall surface of the housing 11, and the reinforcing ribs 113 are connected to the connecting arm 122. That is to say, in addition to being directly connected to the inner wall surface of the housing 11, the connecting arm 122 is also connected to the inner wall surface of the housing 11 through the reinforcing ribs 113. This increases the number of connection points between the connecting arm 122 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11. The connection between the connecting arm 122 and the reinforcing ribs 113 can more stably fix the position of the connecting arm 122 on the inner wall surface of the housing 11, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting arm 122 and the inner wall surface of the housing 11, and thus improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing structure 12 on the housing 11.
[0048] In a specific example, the reinforcing rib 113 is located at the angle between the connecting arm 122 and the inner wall of the housing 11 and is triangular in shape. Multiple reinforcing ribs 113 are provided between each connecting arm 122 and the inner wall of the housing 11 to improve the stability of the connection between the connecting arm 122 and the housing 11.
[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, multiple connecting arms 122 are provided, and multiple connecting seats 22 are provided to be connected one-to-one with the connecting arms 122. That is to say, by connecting multiple connecting seats 22 to multiple connecting arms 122 in a one-to-one correspondence, multiple paths for force transmission can be formed between the reinforcing part 121 and the air outlet frame 2. Therefore, when the area corresponding to the reinforcing part 121 along the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b is subjected to impact force, the force can be transmitted to the air outlet frame 2 and dispersed through the multiple transmission paths formed by the multiple connecting arms 122 and multiple connecting seats 22. That is, the efficiency of force transmission between the housing 11 and the air outlet frame 2 can be improved, thereby reducing the risk of cracking along the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a weight-reducing groove 1222 is formed on the connecting arm 122, which opens toward the connecting seat 22. Thus, by setting the weight-reducing groove 1222, while ensuring that the connecting arm 122 has sufficient support strength, the production material used for the connecting arm 122 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the housing 11 and the production cost.
[0051] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 11 includes an air outlet 111 and a side portion 112. An air outlet 11b is formed on the air outlet 111. Along the width direction of the air outlet 11b, side portions 112 are provided at both ends of the air outlet 111. The side portions 112 are arranged at an angle to the air outlet 111. A reinforcing portion 121 is provided on the air outlet 111, and a connecting arm 122 extends to and connects to the side portion 112. That is, the reinforcing structure 12 extends from the air outlet 111 to the side portion 112. Therefore, when the air outlet 111 is subjected to impact force at the position corresponding to the reinforcing part 121, the force is transmitted and dispersed on the air outlet frame 2 through the reinforcing part 121, the connecting arm 122 and the connecting seat 22, and the force can also be transmitted and dispersed on the side part 112 through the reinforcing part 121 and the connecting arm 122, thereby improving the dispersion effect of the impact force on the air outlet 111 and reducing the risk of cracking of the air outlet 111.
[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the length of the connecting arm 122 to the width of the side portion 112 along the circumferential direction of the housing 11 is not less than 0.5. That is, the extension length of the connecting arm 122 along the circumferential direction of the housing 11 on the side portion 112 is controlled to be not less than half the width of the side portion 112. This ensures that the connecting arm 122 has sufficient extension length on the side portion 112, thereby increasing the connection points between the connecting arm 122 and the side portion 112. This allows the force at the reinforcing part 121 to be transmitted and dispersed more stably to the side portion 112 through the connecting arm 122, thereby reducing the risk of cracking in the area around the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b on the air outlet 111.
[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing part 121 is a reinforcing beam that extends circumferentially along the air outlet 11b. The air outlet 11b has multiple corner positions, and the two ends of the reinforcing beam extend to two adjacent corner positions respectively. By extending the reinforcing beam circumferentially along the air outlet 11b, the coverage area of the reinforcing part 121 in the circumferential direction of the air outlet 11b can be increased, thereby improving the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing part 121 on the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b and further reducing the risk of cracking in the outer periphery area of the air outlet 11b. Furthermore, the reinforcing beam can strengthen the strength at two adjacent corner positions, and the reinforcing structure 12 and the connecting seat 22 can transfer the force at the corner positions to the air outlet frame 2 for dispersion, avoiding the concentration of impact force at the corner positions, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the corner positions and improving the safety of the air conditioner 100 during transportation and transfer.
[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the length direction of the air outlet 11b is vertical, and a reinforcing beam is provided on the upper side of the air outlet 11b and extends along the width direction of the air outlet 11b. Connecting arms 122 are provided at both ends of the reinforcing beam along the width direction of the air outlet 11b. That is, the reinforcing beam extends along the upper side of the air outlet 11b, and both ends of the reinforcing beam extend to the two corner positions at the upper end of the air outlet 11b. Along the width direction of the air outlet 11b, one end of the reinforcing beam is connected to one side of the connecting arm 122, and the other end of the reinforcing beam is connected to the other side of the connecting arm 122, thereby connecting the reinforcing beam and the two connecting arms 122 to form a complete reinforcing structure 12. Therefore, the reinforcing structure 12 can effectively strengthen the upper edge of the air outlet 11b and the two corner positions on the upper side of the air outlet 11b, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the upper edge of the air outlet 11b and the two corner positions on the upper side of the air outlet 11b.
[0055] In a specific example, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the reinforcing beam is located on the air outlet 111 and at the upper edge of the air outlet 11b. Two connecting arms 122 are respectively located on the left and right side portions 112. In the front-to-back direction, the two connecting arms 122 extend in an arc shape towards each other. A second connecting hole 1221 is formed on the back of the connecting arm 122. Furthermore, two connecting seats 22 are provided. These two connecting seats 22 are located on the upper side of the air outlet frame body 21 and at opposite ends of the air outlet frame body 21 along the width direction of the air outlet 11b. The two connecting seats 22 are respectively connected to the rear ends of the two connecting arms 122. The two connecting seats 22 and the reinforcing structure 12 together constitute the ship-shaped reinforcing structure 12. In addition, the air outlet frame body 21 is provided with multiple connecting ears 24 arranged at intervals along the length of the air outlet 11b on both sides of the air outlet 11b width direction. The air outlet frame body 21 is also connected to the housing 11 through multiple connecting ears 24 to increase the connection position between the air outlet frame 2 and the housing 11 and improve the stability of the connection between the air outlet frame 2 and the housing 11.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing rib 23 is provided at the connection position between the connecting seat 22 and the air outlet frame body 21. Therefore, the reinforcing rib 23 can effectively improve the structural strength at the connection position between the connecting seat 22 and the air outlet frame body 21, thereby avoiding the risk of breakage at the connection position between the connecting seat 22 and the air outlet frame body 21, and ensuring that the force at the reinforcing structure 12 can be stably transmitted and distributed to the air outlet frame body 21 through the connecting seat 22.
[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-sectional area of the connecting seat 22 is increased in the direction from the reinforcing structure 12 toward the connecting seat 22. This improves the structural strength of the connecting seat 22, thereby enhancing its support strength for the reinforcing structure 12. Consequently, it ensures that the force at the reinforcing structure 12 can be stably transmitted and dispersed to the air outlet frame 2 through the connecting seat 22, reducing the risk of cracking along the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a reinforcing rib 23 is provided at the connection position between the connecting seat 22 and the air outlet frame body 21, and the cross-sectional area of the connecting seat 22 is increased in the direction from the reinforcing structure 12 toward the connecting seat 22. This ensures that the force at the reinforcing structure 12 can be stably transmitted and dispersed to the air outlet frame body 21 through the connecting seat 22, thereby reducing the risk of cracking along the outer periphery of the air outlet 11b.
[0059] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing structure 12 and the housing 11 are integrally formed. Therefore, the integrally formed structure not only ensures the structural and performance stability of the reinforcing structure 12 and the housing 11, but also facilitates molding and simplifies manufacturing. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for assembly parts and connection processes used to connect the reinforcing structure 12 and the housing 11, resulting in lower production costs and significantly improved assembly efficiency. This ensures reliable connection between the reinforcing structure 12 and the housing 11. Moreover, the integrally formed structure exhibits higher overall strength and stability, and a longer service life.
