Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a housing and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Wall-mounted air conditioners have through holes on both ends of the indoor unit. However, these through holes are sealed at the factory, with the seals connected to the unit's casing via a partial break. During installation, the direction of the drain pipe's outlet needs to be determined based on the surrounding environment of the installation location. Then, the partial break of the seal on the corresponding end of the indoor unit is broken to allow the drain pipe to pass through the corresponding through hole.

[0003] When installing the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner, it is often necessary to ensure that the height of the pipe outlet on the wall is lower than the height of the pipe outlet on the end face of the indoor unit to ensure smooth drainage. In some cases, it is necessary for the end face of the indoor unit to be flush against the wall. Due to the height difference requirement between the pipe outlet on the end face of the indoor unit and the pipe outlet on the wall, a gap must be left between the end face of the indoor unit and the wall, making it impossible to meet the installation requirement of the end face of the indoor unit being flush against the wall.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner cannot meet the installation requirement of the indoor unit's end face being close to the wall has become an important technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a housing and an air conditioner to solve the defect in the related technology that the indoor unit of the wall-mounted air conditioner cannot meet the installation requirement that the end face of the indoor unit is close to the wall.

[0006] This utility model provides a cover, comprising:

[0007] The housing body has at least a first end face, a second end face, and a bottom face. The first end face, the second end face, and the bottom face are provided with through holes, and any one of the through holes is suitable for a water supply or drainage pipe to pass through.

[0008] A pre-formed perforated plate is provided for each of the pipe holes. The pre-formed perforated plate is disposed in the pipe hole. The outline shape of the pre-formed perforated plate is adapted to the outline shape of the pipe hole. The edge of the pre-formed perforated plate is at least partially connected to the edge of the pipe hole. The pre-formed perforated plate is integrally formed with the cover body.

[0009] With this setup, for indoor units where the outlet pipe needs to be close to the wall, the pre-drilled perforated plate on the bottom surface of the casing body corresponding to the outlet pipe position of the indoor unit can be removed, allowing the drain pipe to pass through the bottom surface of the casing body. This reduces or even eliminates the gap requirement between the end face of the indoor unit and the wall, thus meeting the installation requirement that the end face of the indoor unit be close to the wall.

[0010] According to the present invention, a cover is provided, wherein the first end face and the second end face are distributed along the length direction of the cover body, and the bottom surface is provided with two through holes, which are distributed at both ends of the bottom surface along the length direction of the cover body.

[0011] This configuration increases the selectivity of the pipe holes and meets the installation requirement that any end of the casing body be close to the wall in the length direction, thus improving the adaptability of the wall-mounted air conditioner with the casing provided in this embodiment.

[0012] According to the cover provided by this utility model, it further includes:

[0013] A first connecting portion is disposed between the edge of the pre-formed perforated plate and the edge of the through-hole. The edge of the pre-formed perforated plate and the edge of the through-hole are connected by at least one first connecting portion. The pre-formed perforated plate, the first connecting portion, and the cover body are integrally formed.

[0014] This design eliminates the need for additional snap-fit ​​structures, simplifying the structure and reducing the number of snap-fit ​​components, thus lowering processing costs. Furthermore, it reduces gaps between components requiring snap-fit ​​connections, improving the aesthetics of the casing and preventing issues such as accidental drops and noise caused by insecure connections.

[0015] According to the present invention, a cover is provided in which at least two first connecting parts are provided, and each of the first connecting parts is distributed at intervals along the circumference of the pre-formed perforated plate.

[0016] This design ensures a certain level of connection strength between the prefabricated perforated plates and the main body of the casing, while also avoiding the problem of excessive difficulty in removing the prefabricated perforated plates.

[0017] According to the present invention, the thickness of the first connecting portion is less than the wall thickness of the cover body.

[0018] This design reduces the difficulty of removing precast perforated plates and can reduce or avoid the problem of burrs when removing them.

[0019] According to the present invention, a cover is provided in which the first connecting part is provided with a first groove on the outer surface of the cover body, and the first groove extends along the circumferential direction of the pre-made perforated plate.

[0020] The first connecting portion is provided with a second groove on the inner surface of the cover body, and the second groove extends circumferentially along the pre-formed perforated plate.

[0021] This design reduces the thickness of the first connecting part and allows for cutting with scissors when removing the pre-fabricated perforated plate. The first and second grooves can guide the cutting with scissors, reducing the difficulty of removal.

[0022] According to the present invention, the first groove has a V-shaped cross-section and the cross-section of the first groove is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first groove.

[0023] Along the wall thickness direction of the casing body, the projection area of ​​the bottom of the first groove is located inside the projection area of ​​the second groove.

[0024] This design improves the guiding effect of the first and second grooves on the scissors' cutting, reducing the difficulty of dismantling.

[0025] According to the present invention, a cover is provided in which a third groove is provided on the inner surface of the cover body corresponding to the pre-formed perforated plate, and the outline shape of the third groove is consistent with the outline shape of the pre-formed perforated plate.

[0026] This design allows the third groove to reduce the thickness of the pre-formed perforated plate, which helps reduce the weight of the pre-formed perforated plate and the cover, thus facilitating lightweight design.

[0027] According to the present invention, a cover is provided, wherein the pre-formed perforated plate includes:

[0028] The pre-fabricated perforated plate body is provided with wire-passing holes, which are suitable for power lines to pass through.

[0029] A sub-prefabricated hole piece is disposed in the wire-passing hole. The outline shape of the sub-prefabricated hole piece is adapted to the outline shape of the wire-passing hole. The edge of the sub-prefabricated hole piece is at least partially connected to the edge of the wire-passing hole. The sub-prefabricated hole piece is integrally formed with the prefabricated hole piece body.

[0030] With this configuration, the wiring holes of the pre-fabricated perforated plate body are covered by the sub-pre-fabricated perforated plate. When installing the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner, if the drain pipe and power cord need to exit from one end of the indoor unit, the corresponding pre-fabricated perforated plate can be removed entirely. If the drain pipe and power cord need to exit from both ends of the indoor unit separately, the pre-fabricated perforated plate at the outlet end of the indoor unit can be removed entirely, leaving the pre-fabricated perforated plate body at the other end of the indoor unit connected to the casing body, and only the sub-pre-fabricated perforated plate removed from the pre-fabricated perforated plate body.

[0031] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the aforementioned housing.

[0032] This setup meets the installation requirements of having the end face close to the wall, and has strong adaptability to the installation environment.

[0033] The housing provided by this utility model includes a housing body and pre-formed perforated plates. The housing body has at least a first end face, a second end face, and a bottom face. The first end face, second end face, and bottom face are provided with through-holes, any one of which can allow a drain pipe to pass through. Each through-hole corresponds to a pre-formed perforated plate, which is disposed in the through-hole. The outline shape of the pre-formed perforated plate matches the outline shape of the through-hole, and the edge of the pre-formed perforated plate is at least partially connected to the edge of the through-hole. The pre-formed perforated plate is integrally formed with the housing body. With this configuration, when the housing is finished, each through-hole position on the housing is connected to a pre-formed perforated plate, and the through-hole is sealed by the pre-formed perforated plate. When installing the indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner, the outlet direction of the drain pipe of the indoor unit can be determined according to the installation position of the indoor unit. Based on the distance between the outlet end of the indoor unit and the wall, a through-hole can be selected as needed, and the pre-formed perforated plate corresponding to the selected through-hole can be removed. For indoor units where the outlet pipe needs to be close to the wall, the pre-drilled holes on the bottom surface of the casing corresponding to the outlet pipe of the indoor unit can be removed, allowing the drain pipe to pass through the bottom surface of the casing. This reduces or even eliminates the gap requirement between the end face of the indoor unit and the wall, thus meeting the installation requirement that the end face of the indoor unit be close to the wall.

[0034] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model has the same advantages as described above because it has the cover as described above. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 Describe the housing of this utility model.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cover provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a cover body 1 and pre-formed perforated plates 5.

[0045] Specifically, the housing body 1 has at least a first end face 2, a second end face 3, and a bottom face 4, wherein the bottom face 4 is the lower end surface of the housing body 1 when the wall-mounted air conditioner with the housing provided in this embodiment is normally installed.

[0046] The first end face 2, the second end face 3, and the bottom face 4 are provided with through holes, and any one of the through holes can allow the water supply and drainage pipe to pass through.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the back opening of the casing body 1 is designed to connect with the back panel of the air conditioner. The pipe hole can be located near the edge of the first end face 2, the second end face 3, and the bottom face 4. When the wall-mounted air conditioner with the casing provided in this embodiment is installed normally, the back panel is fixed against the wall, and the pipe hole is located close to the wall, which allows the drain pipe to be located close to the wall, thus improving aesthetics.

[0048] Each through-hole corresponds to a pre-made hole piece 5. The pre-made hole piece 5 is set in the through-hole. The outline shape of the pre-made hole piece 5 is adapted to the outline shape of the through-hole. The edge of the pre-made hole piece 5 is at least partially connected to the edge of the through-hole. The pre-made hole piece 5 is integrally formed with the cover body 1.

[0049] When the casing is finished, a pre-fabricated perforated plate 5 is connected to each pipe passage position on the casing, and the pipe passage is sealed by the pre-fabricated perforated plate 5. When installing the indoor unit of the wall-mounted air conditioner, the outlet direction of the indoor unit's drain pipe can be determined according to the installation position of the indoor unit. Along the outlet direction of the indoor unit's drain pipe, the end of the indoor unit closest to the drain hole on the wall is the outlet end of the indoor unit. Based on the distance between the outlet end of the indoor unit and the wall, select the pipe passage as needed, and then remove the pre-fabricated perforated plate 5 corresponding to the selected pipe passage.

[0050] With this configuration, for indoor units where the outlet pipe needs to be close to the wall, the pre-drilled hole 5 on the bottom surface 4 of the casing body, corresponding to the outlet pipe position of the indoor unit, can be removed, allowing the drain pipe to pass through the bottom surface 4 of the casing body. This can reduce or even eliminate the gap requirement between the end face of the indoor unit and the wall, thereby meeting the installation requirement that the end face of the indoor unit be close to the wall.

[0051] When the wall-mounted air conditioner with the housing provided in this embodiment is installed normally, the length direction of the housing body 1 is set in the horizontal direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first end face 2 and the second end face 3 are distributed along the length direction of the cover body 1, and the bottom surface 4 is provided with two through holes, which are distributed at both ends of the bottom surface 4 along the length direction of the cover body 1.

[0053] This configuration increases the selectivity of the pipe hole and meets the installation requirement that any end of the casing body 1 in the length direction be close to the wall, thus improving the adaptability of the wall-mounted air conditioner with the casing provided in this embodiment.

[0054] In this embodiment of the utility model, the cover also includes a first connecting part 6, which is disposed between the edge of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 and the edge of the through hole. The edge of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 and the edge of the through hole are connected by at least one first connecting part 6. There is a gap at the position where the first connecting part 6 is not disposed between the edge of the first connecting part 6 and the edge of the through hole.

[0055] The pre-formed perforated plate 5, the first connecting part 6, and the cover body 1 are integrally formed. Specifically, the pre-formed perforated plate 5, the first connecting part 6, and the cover body 1 can be integrally formed through injection molding. This eliminates the need for additional snap-fit ​​structures, simplifying the structure and number of components in the injection mold and reducing processing costs. Furthermore, it reduces the gaps between parts that require snap-fit ​​connections, improving the aesthetics of the cover and preventing problems such as accidental falling and noise caused by insecure connections.

[0056] In this embodiment, at least two first connecting portions 6 are provided, and each first connecting portion 6 is distributed at intervals along the circumference of the pre-formed perforated plate 5. Specifically, three first connecting portions 6 correspond between the edge of each pre-formed perforated plate 5 and the edge of the through hole, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 While ensuring that the prefabricated perforated plate 5 and the cover body 1 have a certain connection strength, it can also avoid the problem that the prefabricated perforated plate 5 is too difficult to remove.

[0057] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first connecting part 6 is less than the wall thickness of the cover body 1, which can reduce the difficulty of removing the pre-made perforated plate 5 and reduce or avoid the problem of burrs when removing the pre-made perforated plate 5.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, a first groove 7 is provided on the outer surface of the first connecting portion 6 corresponding to the outer side of the cover body 1, and the first groove 7 extends circumferentially along the pre-formed perforated plate 5. A second groove 8 is provided on the inner surface of the first connecting portion 6 corresponding to the inner side of the cover body 1, and the second groove 8 extends circumferentially along the pre-formed perforated plate 5.

[0059] This design reduces the thickness of the first connecting part 6, and allows for cutting with scissors when removing the pre-fabricated perforated plate 5. The first groove 7 and the second groove 8 can guide the cutting with scissors, reducing the difficulty of removal.

[0060] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the first groove 7 is V-shaped, and the cross-section of the first groove 7 is perpendicular to its extending direction. Along the wall thickness direction of the casing body 1, the projected area of ​​the bottom of the first groove 7 is located inside the projected area of ​​the second groove 8, as shown in the reference... Figure 4 This can improve the guiding effect of the first groove 7 and the second groove 8 on the scissors cutting, and reduce the difficulty of dismantling.

[0061] It should be noted that the depth of the first groove 7 and the depth of the second groove 8 need to be designed according to the wall thickness of the cover body 1, so as to control the thickness of the first connecting part 6 within a certain range and ensure smooth demolding during injection molding.

[0062] In a further embodiment, a third groove is provided on the surface of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 corresponding to the inner side of the cover body 1, and the outline shape of the third groove is consistent with the outline shape of the pre-formed perforated plate 5. The provision of the third groove can reduce the thickness of the pre-formed perforated plate 5, which is beneficial to reducing the weight of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 and the cover, and is conducive to lightweight design.

[0063] The pre-formed perforated plate 5 is flush with the outer surface of the cover body 1 to improve the aesthetics of the cover. The third groove penetrates the edge of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 near the back plate, and there is a gap between the edge of the third groove and the other edges of the pre-formed perforated plate 5. The thickness of the other edges of the pre-formed perforated plate 5 is the same as the wall thickness of the cover body 1.

[0064] In this embodiment of the present invention, the pre-formed perforated plate 5 includes a pre-formed perforated plate body 10 and a sub-pre-formed perforated plate 11. The pre-formed perforated plate body 10 is provided with a wire-passing hole for power cables to pass through. The sub-pre-formed perforated plate 11 is disposed in the wire-passing hole, and the outline shape of the sub-pre-formed perforated plate 11 is adapted to the outline shape of the wire-passing hole. The edge of the sub-pre-formed perforated plate 11 is at least partially connected to the edge of the wire-passing hole, and the sub-pre-formed perforated plate 11 is integrally formed with the pre-formed perforated plate body 10.

[0065] The wire passage hole of the pre-fabricated perforated plate body 10 is covered by the sub-pre-fabricated perforated plate 11. When installing the indoor unit of the wall-mounted air conditioner, if the drain pipe and power cord need to pass through one end of the indoor unit, the corresponding pre-fabricated perforated plate 5 can be removed as a whole. If the drain pipe and power cord need to pass through both ends of the indoor unit respectively, the pre-fabricated perforated plate 5 at the outlet end of the indoor unit can be removed as a whole, so that the pre-fabricated perforated plate body 10 at the other end of the indoor unit remains connected to the cover body 1, and only the sub-pre-fabricated perforated plate 11 is removed from the pre-fabricated perforated plate body 10.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, a second connecting portion 12 is provided between the edge of the sub-preformed hole plate 11 and the edge of the wire passage hole. The edge of the sub-preformed hole plate 11 and the edge of the wire passage hole are connected by at least one second connecting portion 12. There is a gap between the edge of the second connecting portion 12 and the edge of the wire passage hole where no second connecting portion 12 is provided.

[0067] The pre-formed perforated plate 11, the second connecting part 12, the pre-formed perforated plate body 10, the first connecting part 6 and the cover body 1 are integrally formed.

[0068] At least two second connecting portions 12 are provided, and each second connecting portion 12 is distributed at intervals along the circumference of the sub-prefabricated hole piece 11. Specifically, there are two second connecting portions 12 between the edge of each sub-prefabricated hole piece 11 and the edge of the wire hole. This ensures that the sub-prefabricated hole piece 11 and the prefabricated hole piece body 10 have a certain connection strength, and also avoids the problem of excessive difficulty in removing the sub-prefabricated hole piece 11.

[0069] A fourth groove 9 is provided on the outer surface of the second connecting part 12 corresponding to the outer side of the cover body 1. The fourth groove 9 extends circumferentially along the sub-prefabricated hole plate 11. The provision of the fourth groove 9 reduces the thickness of the second connecting part 12, reduces the difficulty of removing the sub-prefabricated hole plate 11, and avoids damage to the connection structure between the prefabricated hole plate body 10 and the cover body 1 when removing the sub-prefabricated hole plate 11.

[0070] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including the housing provided in any of the above embodiments. The housing provided in any of the above embodiments can meet the installation requirement of the indoor unit's end face being close to the wall. Therefore, the air conditioner in this embodiment can also meet the installation requirement of the end face being close to the wall, and has strong adaptability to the installation environment. The derivation process of the beneficial effects of the air conditioner in this utility model embodiment is largely similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effects of the housing described above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
