Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air temperature regulation, specifically to an air conditioning device with a split-type self-resetting latching mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The structure of a water-cooled air conditioning device consists of a water tank located below the fan body. A water pump inside the tank pumps water into a lower water trough within the fan body. The lower water trough has spray nozzles that spray water onto the evaporator, keeping it constantly moist. As air passes through the evaporator, it absorbs heat, thus regulating the air temperature. Over time, the water in the tank becomes dirty. To facilitate cleaning and water replacement, most current systems use a snap-fit ​​connection between the fan body and the water tank. However, this snap-fit ​​design requires manual disassembly and reassembly, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an air conditioning device with a split self-resetting buckle mechanism, which can solve the problem of inconvenient assembly of the existing fan body and water tank body.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: An air conditioning device with a split-type self-resetting latching mechanism is provided, including a fan body and a water tank with an upper opening. The fan body is placed above the water tank, and the fan body and the water tank automatically latch together. The fan body includes a housing, a bottom cover, and a latch. The latch is rotatably mounted on the bottom cover, and an elastic element is provided between the latch and the bottom cover. A movable button is provided on the housing. The elastic element is used to apply pressure to the latch so that the latch abuts against the movable button. A latching platform is provided on the edge of the opening of the water tank, and a hook is provided on the latch. The hook abuts against the latching platform under the action of the elastic element. A check-back protrusion is provided on the latching platform, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the movable button. When the movable button is pressed, the limiting protrusion can move inward toward the inside of the check-back protrusion, and the limiting protrusion abuts against the inside of the check-back protrusion under the action of the elastic element.

[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first inclined surface is provided on the buckle platform, and a second inclined surface is provided on the hook, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface have the same inclination direction.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a third inclined surface is provided on the outer side of the check protrusion, and a fourth inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the limiting protrusion, and the inclination direction of the third inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface are the same.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the active button is provided with a fifth inclined surface on the side facing the latch, and the inclination direction of the fifth inclined surface is the same as that of the first inclined surface.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom cover is provided with a clearance notch on its edge, and a support arm is provided on both sides of the clearance notch. The two support arms are arranged opposite each other and each is provided with a through hole. The latch is provided with a rotating shaft, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively rotatably connected to the two through holes.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first connecting post is provided at the bottom of the clearance notch, and a second connecting post is provided on the side of the latch facing the clearance notch. The elastic element includes a compression spring, with both ends of the compression spring respectively sleeved on the first connecting post and the second connecting post, and both ends of the compression spring respectively abutting against the bottom of the clearance notch and the latch.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the housing is provided with a button hole, the button hole is connected to a guide tube, the length direction of the guide tube is the same as the extension direction of the elastic element, the movable button is located inside the guide tube and extends out of the outer end of the guide tube; the inner end of the guide tube is provided with a limiting notch, the side wall of the movable button is provided with a limiting block, and the limiting block is limited to being located within the limiting notch under the action of the elastic element.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the active button is hollow and has a U-shaped hollow groove that communicates with the hollow part inside the active button. The hollow groove surrounds the periphery of the limiting protrusion, and the bottom of the hollow groove is located on the side of the limiting protrusion away from the latch.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, two support bones are provided at the inner opening of the water tank. The two support bones are respectively connected to the two ends of the buckle platform, and both support bones extend towards the bottom of the water tank.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a positioning groove is provided around the opening edge of the water tank, and a positioning protrusion is provided around the edge of the bottom cover. When the bottom cover is connected to the water tank, the positioning protrusion is located in the positioning groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During normal use, the hook abuts against the retaining platform under the action of the elastic element, thus fixing the fan body onto the water tank. When the water tank needs cleaning, pressing the movable button causes the latch to rotate relative to the bottom cover and compress the elastic element inward until the hook separates from the retaining platform. Simultaneously, the limiting protrusion moves towards the inside of the check protrusion, and the limiting protrusion abuts against the inside of the check protrusion under the action of the elastic element. At this time, the check protrusion prevents the limiting protrusion from retracting, thereby preventing the movable button from retracting. When the movable button is not pressed, the hook and retaining platform are separated. Lifting the fan body upwards separates the fan body from the water tank. When the check protrusion and limiting protrusion separate, the movable button automatically retracts under the action of the elastic element, and the latch automatically returns to its original position. When the fan body is placed back on the water tank, the first inclined surface of the retaining platform and the second inclined surface of the hook guide the fan body to automatically engage with the water tank through the force of the elastic element, making it convenient to use.

[0037] For details, please see Figure 1-4 The fan body 1 includes a housing 11, a bottom cover 12, and a latch 13. The latch 13 is rotatably mounted on the bottom cover 12, and an elastic element 14 is provided between the latch 13 and the bottom cover 12. A movable button 111 is provided on the housing 11. The elastic element 14 is used to apply pressure to the latch 13 so that the latch 13 abuts against the movable button 111. A latching platform 21 is provided on the opening edge of the water tank 2. A hook portion 131 is provided on the latch 13. The hook portion 131 abuts against the latching platform 21 under the action of the elastic element 14. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 10-11 The mounting base 21 has a first inclined surface 211, and the hook portion 131 has a second inclined surface 132, with the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 132 having the same inclination direction. During normal use, the hook portion 131 abuts against the mounting base 21 under the action of the elastic member 14, thus fixing the fan body 1 to the water tank 2.
