[0040] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing assembly 10 and a heat exchange and air supply assembly 20. The housing assembly 10 has an air inlet 10a and an air outlet 10b. The housing assembly 10 includes a front panel assembly 1, a top cover 2, and a sealing member 3. The top cover 2 covers the top of the front panel assembly 1, and the sealing member 3 is used to seal the assembly gap 10c between the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1. That is, the sealing member 3 can effectively prevent external liquids from entering the housing assembly 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby improving the sealing effect of the housing assembly 10. Therefore, by sealing the assembly gap 10c between the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1 with the sealing member 3, external liquids can be effectively prevented from entering the housing assembly 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby avoiding the safety risks caused by liquid contact with the live parts inside the housing assembly 10, and improving the safety performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0042] The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 is located inside the housing assembly 10. Specifically, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 can drive external air into the housing assembly 10 through the air inlet 10a for heat exchange, and then exhaust the heat-exchanged airflow back into the room through the air outlet 10b, thereby achieving temperature regulation of the indoor air.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 seals the assembly gap 10c between the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1 by sealing the sealing member 3, which can improve the sealing effect of the housing assembly 10. The sealing member 3 can effectively prevent external liquids from entering the housing assembly 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby avoiding the safety risks caused by the liquid contacting the live parts inside the housing assembly 10, and improving the safety performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 is a cabinet unit. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 includes a heat exchanger 4 and a fan component 5. The fan component 5 drives indoor air to enter the casing assembly 10 through the air inlet 10a and exit back into the room through the air outlet 10b, thereby achieving forced air circulation between the room and the casing assembly 10. The heat exchanger 4 is located upstream of the fan component 5, that is, closer to the air inlet 10a than the fan component 5. The heat exchanger 4 regulates the temperature of the airflow, thereby gradually regulating the temperature of the indoor air. In addition, the air outlet 10b is provided with a switch door 30 for opening or closing the air outlet 10b. There are two switches door 30 arranged along the width direction of the air outlet 10b. When the air outlet 10b is opened, the two switches door 30 move into the casing assembly 10 in opposite directions.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing member 3 includes a sealing portion 31 and a connecting portion 32. At least a portion of the sealing portion 31 is located within the assembly gap 10c and is used to seal the assembly gap 10c. The connecting portion 32 is disposed on the sealing portion 31 and is connected to at least one of the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1. Specifically, the connecting portion 32 may be connected to one of the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1, or it may be connected to both the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1; no specific limitation is made here. That is, the sealing portion 31, with at least a portion located within the assembly gap 10c, can limit the sealing portion 31. Furthermore, the sealing portion 31 is fixed by the connection of the connecting portion 32 to at least one of the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1, thereby better maintaining the relative positional relationship between the sealing portion 31 and the assembly gap 10c, i.e., keeping the sealing portion 31 in the position of sealing the assembly gap 10c, thus improving the assembly effect of the sealing member 3 on the sealing gap.

[0046] In some embodiments, the seal 3 is a flexible element. Therefore, the seal 3 can better conform to the top cover 2 and the front panel components through flexible deformation, thereby improving the sealing effect of the seal 3 on the assembly gap 10c. Furthermore, during the installation process of the seal 3, such as after the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1 are assembled, the seal 3 can be deformed by squeezing and inserted into the assembly gap 10c, reducing the difficulty of installing the seal 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the seal 3 is an integrally molded part, that is, the sealing part 31 and the connecting part 32 are integrally molded. As a result, the process of connecting the sealing part 31 and the connecting part 32 and the required connecting parts can be eliminated, and the firmness of the connection between the sealing part 31 and the connecting part 32 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the seal 3.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the upper surface of the top cover 2 is provided with a first water-blocking rib 21. The first water-blocking rib 21 is located at the edge of the top cover 2 near the assembly gap 10c and extends circumferentially along the top cover 2. That is, the first water-blocking rib 21 can prevent liquid on the side of the upper surface of the top cover 2 facing away from the assembly gap 10c from entering the assembly gap 10c. Therefore, the first water-blocking rib 21 can improve the sealing effect on the assembly gap 10c based on the sealing element 3, so as to further prevent liquid from entering the housing assembly 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby improving the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing part 31 has a first mating groove 311, and at least a portion of the first water-blocking rib 21 is located within the first mating groove 311. That is, the first water-blocking rib 21 is inserted into the sealing part 31, with at least its upper end inserted into the first mating groove 311. Along the width direction of the assembly gap 10c, the end of the sealing part 31 facing away from the front panel assembly 1 extends to the side of the first water-blocking rib 21 facing away from the assembly gap 10c. Thus, through the insertion and engagement of the first water-blocking rib 21 and the sealing part 31, a labyrinthine sealing structure can be formed between the top cover 2 and the sealing element 3, thereby extending the sealing path between the sealing element 3 and the top cover 2 to improve the sealing effect. Furthermore, through the insertion and engagement of the first water-blocking rib 21 and the sealing part 31, the connection points between the sealing element 3 and the top cover 2 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the sealing element 3 after installation and reducing the risk of the sealing element 3 falling off.

[0050] In one specific example, at least a portion of the first water-blocking rib 21 abuts against the sealing portion 31, thereby further improving the sealing effect between the top cover 2 and the sealing element 3.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a guide surface 313 is formed on the upper surface of the sealing part 31. The guide surface 313 extends downward at an angle from the center of the top cover 2 to the outer peripheral edge of the top cover 2. Therefore, when liquid is partially present on the upper surface of the sealing part 31, the liquid can flow downward in a direction away from the top cover 2 under the guidance of the guide surface 313. Furthermore, the guide surface 313 can provide a certain acceleration effect for the liquid flow to throw the liquid out, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing along the outer surface of the housing assembly 10 and entering the interior of the housing assembly 10 to contact the live parts.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the front panel assembly 1 and the top cover 2 are arranged horizontally, and the guide surface 313 is provided at the end of the sealing part 31 away from the top cover 2. That is, along the width direction of the assembly gap 10c, the guide surface 313 is located at the end of the sealing part 31 away from the top cover 2, so that the guide surface 313 can more stably guide the liquid to flow towards the outer periphery of the housing assembly 10, so as to prevent the liquid from penetrating into the housing assembly 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby improving the safety performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting portion 32 is provided with a plurality of portions arranged at intervals along the circumference of the top cover 2. It is understood that the more connecting portions 32 there are, the more fixing positions the seal 3 has. Therefore, by providing a plurality of connecting portions 32 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the top cover 2, the plurality of connecting portions 32 can fix the seal 3 from multiple positions around the top cover 2, which can effectively increase the fixing positions of the seal 3 and improve the stability of the seal 3 after it is fixed.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sealing part 31 includes a covering part 314 and an insertion part 315. Along the radial direction of the top cover 2, the width of the covering part 314 is greater than the width of the assembly gap 10c. The covering part 314 covers the outside of the assembly gap 10c and abuts against both the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1. The insertion part 315 is located on the side of the covering part 314 facing the assembly gap 10c and passes through the assembly gap 10c. The connecting part 32 is located at one end of the insertion part 315 away from the covering part 314. The connecting part 32 is snap-fitted to at least one of the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1.

[0055] In other words, the cover portion 314 abuts against the edge of the top cover 2 near the assembly gap 10c to prevent liquid from entering the assembly gap 10c through the gap between the cover portion 314 and the top cover 2. Similarly, the cover portion 314 abuts against the edge of the front panel assembly 1 near the assembly gap 10c to prevent liquid from entering the assembly gap 10c through the gap between the cover portion 314 and the front panel assembly 1. In other words, liquid cannot enter the assembly gap 10c from either side of the cover portion 314 along the width direction of the assembly gap 10c, thus improving the sealing effect of the cover portion 314 on the assembly gap 10c. Furthermore, by inserting the insertion portion 315 into the assembly gap 10c, the insertion portion 315 can be limited by the assembly gap 10c to improve the stability of the seal 3 after installation. This also facilitates connection with the connecting portion 32. Specifically, the connecting portion 32 can be connected to the cover portion 314 via the insertion portion 315 to form an integral structure, and the sealing line is fixed through the snap-fit ​​connection between the connecting portion 32 and at least one of the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1.

[0056] In a specific example, the insertion part 315 abuts against both the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1, thereby clamping the insertion part 315 by the top cover 2 and the front panel assembly 1 to improve the stability of the seal 3 after it is fixed. In addition, protruding ribs can be provided on the sides of the front panel assembly 1 and the top cover 2 facing the assembly gap 10c to press the insertion part 315 and prevent the seal 3 from falling out.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting portion 32 is a limiting protrusion provided on the insertion portion 315. The limiting protrusion is located on the side of the insertion portion 315 facing the top cover 2, and is located inside the top cover 2 and abuts against the top cover 2. That is, the limiting protrusion protrudes from the insertion portion 315 in a direction close to the top cover 2, and the sealing member 3 and the top cover 2 are engaged through the abutment of the connecting portion 32 against the top cover 2. This simplifies the connection structure between the sealing member 3 and the top cover 2, reduces the installation difficulty of the sealing member 3, and improves the installation efficiency of the sealing member 3. In addition, it facilitates disassembly, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent replacement of the sealing member 3.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the front panel assembly 1 includes a front panel body 11 and a display assembly 12. An installation notch is formed at the upper end of the front panel body 11, and a top cover 2 is placed over the upper end of the front panel body 11. The display assembly 12 is installed within the installation notch, and the top cover 2 and the display assembly 12 define an assembly gap 10c. That is, the sealing member 3 is used to seal the assembly gap 10c between the top cover 2 and the display assembly 12. Therefore, in a water spill test, the sealing member 3 can effectively prevent liquid from entering the display assembly 12 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby avoiding the risk of short circuits in the internal electrical components of the display assembly 12 when exposed to water, thus improving the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, the sealing portion 31 is a strip extending circumferentially along the top cover 2, with both ends of the sealing portion 31 protruding from both ends of the display assembly 12 along the circumferential direction of the top cover 2. That is, along the circumferential direction of the top cover 2, the length of the sealing portion 31 is greater than the length of the display assembly 12, and the sealing portion 31 completely covers the display assembly 12. In other words, along the circumferential direction of the top cover 2, at any position of the display assembly 12 near one end of the top cover 2, the sealing member 3 can effectively prevent liquid from entering the display assembly 12, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing member 3.

[0060] In some embodiments, along the circumferential direction of the top cover 2, the two ends of the first water-blocking rib 21 protrude from the two ends of the display component 12, that is, along the circumferential direction of the top cover 2, the length of the first water-blocking rib 21 is greater than the length of the display component 12, and the first water-blocking rib 21 can completely cover the display assembly, thereby improving the water-blocking effect of the first water-blocking rib 21 in preventing liquid from entering the assembly gap 10c.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a second water-blocking rib 1211 is provided on the upper surface of the display component 12. The second water-blocking rib 1211 is located at the edge of the display component 12 near the assembly gap 10c and extends circumferentially along the top cover 2. That is, the second water-blocking rib 1211 can prevent liquid on the side of the upper surface of the display component 12 facing away from the assembly gap 10c from entering the assembly gap 10c. Therefore, the second water-blocking rib 1211 can improve the sealing effect on the assembly gap 10c based on the sealing member 3, so as to further prevent liquid from entering the housing component 10 through the assembly gap 10c, thereby improving the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing part 31 has a second mating groove 312, and at least a portion of the second water-blocking rib 1211 is located within the second mating groove 312. That is, the second water-blocking rib 1211 is inserted into the sealing part 31, with at least its upper end inserted into the second mating groove 312. Along the width direction of the assembly gap 10c, the end of the sealing part 31 facing away from the top cover 2 extends to the side of the second water-blocking rib 1211 facing away from the assembly gap 10c. Thus, through the insertion and engagement of the second water-blocking rib 1211 and the sealing part 31, a labyrinthine sealing structure can be formed between the display component 12 and the sealing element 3, thereby extending the sealing path between the sealing element 3 and the display component 12 to improve the sealing effect. Furthermore, through the insertion and engagement of the second water-blocking rib 1211 and the sealing part 31, the connection points between the sealing element 3 and the display component 12 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the sealing element 3 after installation and reducing the risk of the sealing element 3 falling off.

[0063] In one specific example, at least a portion of the second water-blocking rib 1211 abuts against the sealing portion 31, thereby further improving the sealing effect between the display component 12 and the seal 3.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the display assembly 12 includes a mounting frame 121 and a display component. The mounting frame 121 includes a frame body 1212 and a third water-blocking rib 1213. The frame body 1212, the third water-blocking rib 1213, and the front panel body 11 together define a first cavity 1214 and a second cavity 1215 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The top cover 2 is located above the first cavity 1214, and the second cavity 1215 is located below the first cavity 1214. The display component is installed in the second cavity 1215. That is, the seal 3 is used to prevent liquid outside the housing assembly 10 from entering the first cavity 1214 through the assembly gap 10c, and the third water-blocking rib 1213 is used to prevent liquid inside the first cavity 1214 from entering the second cavity 1215. Therefore, by combining the seal 3 and the third water-blocking rib 1213, multiple seals can be formed, which can further reduce the risk of liquid entering the second cavity 1215 and contacting the display component, thereby improving the safety of the display assembly 12.

[0065] In a specific example, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the top cover 2 is roughly semi-circular, and the display component 12 is located on the lower side of the top cover 2. The upper end of the mounting frame 121 is arranged along the front-back direction with the top cover 2 and defines an assembly gap 10c between them. The top cover 2 has a first water-blocking rib 21 protruding from the upper surface of the top cover 2 near the assembly gap 10c. The mounting frame 121 has a second water-blocking rib 1211 protruding from the upper surface of the mounting frame 121 near the assembly gap 10c. Both the first water-blocking rib 21 and the second water-blocking rib 1211 are arc-shaped extending circumferentially along the top cover 2. The height of the second water-blocking rib 1211 is less than the height of the first water-blocking rib 21, so as to form a guide surface 313 at the front end of the sealing part 31 on the upper surface of the sealing part 31. In addition, the cover portion 314 is in the shape of an inverted bowl and is attached to the first water-blocking rib 21 and the second water-blocking rib 1211. The first mating groove 311 and the second mating groove 312 are both open downwards to facilitate the insertion and engagement of the first mating groove 311 with the first water-blocking rib 21 and the second mating groove 312 with the second water-blocking rib 1211.
