[0002] With the development of technology, standing air conditioners have gradually become widely used.

[0003] In the casing assembly of a vertical air conditioner, there is often a gap between the bottom of the front panel and the rear frame and the side wall of the base. To prevent insects from entering the air conditioner through this gap, an insect-proof plate is often fixed on the upper surface of the base and placed against the inner wall of the front panel to prevent insects.

[0004] In the above structure, a large number of screws are often required to complete the installation of the insect-proof plate, which increases the cost of the shell components and reduces the efficiency of the manufacturing process. Utility Model Content

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] This disclosure provides a housing assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing assembly includes a base 1, a rear frame 2, and a front panel 3. The rear frame 2 surrounds a portion of the sidewall of the base 1 and is connected to the base 1. The front panel 3 surrounds a portion of the sidewall of the base 1 and is connected to both the base 1 and the rear frame 2. At least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3 has an inner wall with a retaining structure 4, at least a portion of which extends to the top surface of the base 1 and abuts against the top surface of the base 1 vertically to close the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0039] Thus, the enclosure structure 4 can seal the gap between the front panel 3 and the base 1, thereby reducing the possibility of insects entering the air conditioner through the gap between the front panel 3 and the base 1, thus meeting the insect-proof requirements of the housing assembly. The enclosure structure 4 is integrated with the front panel 3. Compared to related technologies that require many screws to install the insect-proof panel, this significantly reduces the component cost of the housing assembly and improves the manufacturing efficiency of the housing assembly.

[0040] exist Figure 1 In order to avoid the front panel 3 obstructing other parts, the front panel 3 was cut in half. Figure 1 This only shows a portion of the structure of the front panel 3, and does not represent the complete structure of the front panel 3.

[0041] The aforementioned "at least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3 has an enclosure structure 4 on its inner wall" includes the following three possible structural forms:

[0042] The first structural form: the inner wall of the rear frame 2 has a retaining structure 4, at least a portion of which extends to the top surface of the base 1 and abuts against the top surface of the base 1 to close the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1.

[0043] The second structural form: the inner wall of the front panel 3 has a retaining structure 4, at least a portion of which extends to the top surface of the base 1 and abuts against the top surface of the base 1 to close the gap between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0044] The third structural form: the inner walls of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3 are both equipped with a retaining structure 4. At least a portion of the retaining structure 4 extends to the top surface of the base 1 and abuts against the top surface of the base 1 to close the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 and between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the sidewall of the base 1 includes a first region 101 and a second region 102, which are distributed circumferentially along the base 1. The rear frame 2 surrounds the first region 101 of the sidewall of the base 1, and the front panel 3 surrounds the second region 102 of the sidewall of the base 1. The end of the second region 102 that connects to the first region 101 protrudes beyond the first region 101. After the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3 are installed on the base 1, a portion of the front panel 3 extends to the outside of the first region 101 and surrounds a portion of the outside of the rear frame 2, so that the enclosure structure 4 located on the front panel 3 extends to the first region 101 and abuts against the rear frame 2.

[0046] In this way, the enclosure structure 4 located on the front panel 3 can cross the step structure and abut against the rear frame 2, thereby sealing the gap between the edge of the enclosure structure 4 and the base 1 through the rear frame 2, so as to reduce the possibility of mosquitoes entering the air conditioner through the gap between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the rear frame 2 has multiple sliding grooves 21 at the circumferential end of the base 1, and the multiple sliding grooves 21 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the base 1. The front panel 3 has multiple buckles 31 at the circumferential end of the base 1, and the multiple buckles 31 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the base 1. The multiple buckles 31 correspond one-to-one with the multiple sliding grooves 21.

[0048] Thus, during the installation of the front panel 3 and the rear frame 2, multiple clips 31 engage with multiple sliding grooves 21 respectively, thereby locking the rear frame 2 and the base 1 at their ends. Afterwards, the top of the front panel 3 can be bolted to the top of the rear frame 2, thereby fixing the front panel 3.

[0049] Optionally, the front panel 3 is made of plastic and is formed by injection molding.

[0050] Optionally, the rear frame 2 is made of plastic and is formed by injection molding.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, in some possible implementations, the enclosure structure 4 has a first positioning part 46, and the base 1 has a second positioning part 11 adapted to the first positioning part 46.

[0052] Thus, during the installation of the front panel 3 with the base 1 or the rear frame 2 with the base 1, the cooperation of the first positioning part 46 and the second positioning part 11 enables the enclosure structure 4 to cooperate with the base 1, thereby ensuring that at least part of the enclosure structure 4 extends to the top surface of the base 1 and stably abuts against the top surface of the base 1. This allows the enclosure structure 4 to effectively seal the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1, thereby reducing the possibility of mosquitoes entering the air conditioner through the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in some possible implementations, one of the first positioning part 46 and the second positioning part 11 is a positioning post, and the other of the first positioning part 46 and the second positioning part 11 is a positioning hole.

[0054] Thus, during the installation of the front panel 3 with the base 1 or the rear frame 2 with the base 1, if the enclosure structure 4 is in the position to be installed, the positioning pin can directly enter the positioning hole, allowing the installation process of the front panel 3 with the base 1 or the rear frame 2 with the base 1 to continue. If the enclosure structure 4 is not in the position to be installed, the positioning pin will abut against the enclosure structure 4 or the base 1, making it impossible to complete the installation of the front panel 3 with the base 1 or the rear frame 2 with the base 1. Therefore, through the cooperation of the positioning pin and the positioning hole, it is relatively convenient to ensure that the enclosure structure 4 is in the position to be installed, so that the enclosure structure 4 stably abuts against the top surface of the base 1, ensuring that the enclosure structure 4 can seal the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0055] Optionally, the first positioning part 46 is a positioning post, and the second positioning part 11 is a positioning hole. The positioning post is located on the bottom surface of the baffle 41, and the positioning hole is located on the base 1.

[0056] Among them, the structural strength of the enclosure structure 4 is often lower than that of the base 1. Therefore, using this red paper can avoid the need to open positioning holes in the enclosure structure 4, thus ensuring that the enclosure structure 4 has sufficient structural strength.

[0057] Optionally, if one of the first positioning part 46 and the second positioning part 11 is a positioning post and the other of the first positioning part 46 and the second positioning part 11 is a positioning hole, the enclosure structure 4 has a plurality of first positioning parts 46 arranged at intervals, and the base 1 has a plurality of second positioning parts 11 arranged at intervals and corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of first positioning parts 46.

[0058] Therefore, by setting the first positioning part 46 at different positions of the enclosure structure 4 and the second positioning part 11 at different positions of the base 1, it can be ensured that the enclosure structure 4 can be in a position that can effectively seal the gap in multiple positions, thereby improving the insect prevention effect of the enclosure structure 4.

[0059] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementations, the front panel 3 is connected to the rear frame 2 at both ends of the base 1 in the circumferential direction. The inner wall of the front panel 3 has a retaining structure 4, which abuts against the rear frame 2 at both ends of the base 1 in the circumferential direction.

[0060] In related technologies, the front panel is often a split structure and is equipped with two insect-proof plates. The front panel includes two side panels and a front panel. The two side panels are located on both sides of the front panel and are connected to the front panel and the rear frame respectively. The two insect-proof plates are often only set on the sides of the two side panels, but not on the sides of the front panel. This means that the insect-proof plates cannot seal the gap between the front panel and the side wall of the base. Therefore, mosquitoes may enter the interior of the shell through the gap between the two insect-proof plates.

[0061] In contrast, in this embodiment, the front panel 3 is connected to the rear frame 2 at both ends of the base 1 in the circumferential direction, and the enclosure structure 4 located on the front panel 3 abuts against the rear frame 2 at both ends of the base 1 in the circumferential direction. That is, the front panel 3 is an integral structure, and the enclosure structure 4 is distributed at various positions in the circumferential direction of the front panel 3, thereby sealing the gap between various positions of the front panel 3 and the side wall of the base 1, which can greatly reduce the possibility of mosquitoes entering the shell through the gap between the front panel 3 and the side wall of the base 1.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the front panel 3 is an integral piece. Compared with the related technologies where the front panel is often a separate structure, its overall structure is more aesthetically pleasing and can greatly improve the user experience.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, in some possible implementations, the enclosure structure 4 includes a baffle 41 connected to the inner wall of at least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3, with at least a portion of the baffle 41 extending to the top surface of the base 1 and abutting against the top surface of the base 1.

[0064] Thus, the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1 can be sealed by the baffle 41. Its structure is relatively simple and the molding difficulty is low, which can improve the yield of the rear frame 2 or the front panel 3. In addition, the baffle 41 requires less material, thus reducing the material cost of the rear frame 2 or the front panel 3.

[0065] The structure of the enclosure structure 4 will be further described below in terms of two possible implementation methods.

[0066] The first possible implementation

[0067] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the enclosure structure 4 also includes enclosure ribs 42, which are located at the edge of the baffle 41 and protrude toward the top surface of the base 1. The enclosure ribs 42 abut against the top surface of the base 1.

[0068] Thus, the fencing reinforcement 42 can strengthen the fencing structure 4 at the edge of the baffle 41, reducing the possibility of local deformation at the edge of the fencing structure 4 when it comes into contact with the base 1, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the fencing structure 4 on the gap between the rear frame 2 and the base 1 or between the front panel 3 and the base 1.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the enclosure structure 4 also includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 43, which are spaced apart on at least one side of the top and bottom surfaces of the baffle 41. At least some of the first reinforcing ribs 43 have one end connected to the inner wall of at least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3, and the other end connected to the enclosure ribs 42.

[0070] Thus, when the baffle 41 is subjected to external forces (such as gravity), on the one hand, the first reinforcing rib 43 can constrain the baffle 41 on at least one side of its top and bottom surfaces; on the other hand, the first reinforcing rib 43 can exert tensile or supporting forces on the baffle 41 on at least one side of its top and bottom surfaces. This arrangement reduces the possibility of localized movement of the baffle 41, leading to deformation or even damage, thereby improving the structural strength of the enclosure structure 4.

[0071] Optionally, the extension direction of the first reinforcing rib 43 is directed to the normal direction of the position of the first reinforcing rib 43 in the rear frame 2 or the front panel 3.

[0072] The second possible implementation method

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the enclosure structure 4 also includes a reinforcing plate 44 and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 45. The reinforcing plate 44 is connected to the inner wall of at least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3, and is located on the side of the baffle 41 away from the base 1. The plurality of second reinforcing ribs 45 are arranged at intervals between the baffle 41 and the reinforcing plate 44. At least some of the second reinforcing ribs 45 have one end connected to the baffle 41 and the other end connected to the reinforcing plate 44.

[0074] Thus, when the baffle 41 is subjected to external force, the second reinforcing rib 45 and the reinforcing plate 44 can, on the one hand, constrain the baffle 41 on the top surface of the baffle 41, and on the other hand, generate tensile or supporting force on the baffle 41, thereby reducing the possibility of local movement of the baffle 41 and causing deformation or even damage to the baffle 41, thereby improving the structural strength of the enclosure structure 4.

[0075] Furthermore, the enclosure structure 4 also includes a plurality of third reinforcing ribs, which are spaced apart on the bottom surface of the baffle 41. At least some of the third reinforcing ribs are connected at one end to the inner wall of at least one of the rear frame 2 and the front panel 3, and at the other end to the bottom surface of the baffle 41.

[0076] Thus, when the baffle 41 is subjected to external force, the third reinforcing rib can constrain the baffle 41 on the bottom surface and provide support or tension to the baffle 41 on the other hand, thereby reducing the possibility of local movement of the baffle 41 and causing deformation or even damage to the baffle 41, and thus improving the structural strength of the enclosure structure 4.

[0077] In addition, the second reinforcing rib 45 and the third reinforcing rib can respectively constrain the baffle 41 on both sides of the baffle 41, and can respectively generate supporting force or tensile force on the baffle 41, thereby greatly improving the structural strength of the enclosure structure 4.

[0078] This disclosure does not limit the specific structural form of the enclosure structure 4 used in the housing assembly; the specific structural form of the enclosure structure 4 can be determined according to the specific usage requirements of the housing assembly. For example, in Figures 1 to 6 In the housing assembly shown, the front panel 3 adopts the first possible implementation, and the rear frame 2 adopts the second possible implementation.

[0079] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides an air conditioner, which includes the housing assembly provided above.

[0080] By using the aforementioned housing assembly in the air conditioner, the gap between the front panel 3 and the base 1 can be sealed through the enclosure structure 4, thereby reducing the possibility of insects entering the air conditioner through this gap. Furthermore, the enclosure structure 4 is integral with the front panel 3. Compared to related technologies that require numerous screws to install the insect-proof panel, this significantly reduces the component cost of the housing assembly and improves the manufacturing efficiency of the housing assembly.

[0081] Optionally, the air conditioner is a floor-standing air conditioner, and the indoor unit of the floor-standing air conditioner uses the housing assembly provided above.

[0082] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure.
