An air conditioning control panel with a protective mechanism

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology and discloses an air conditioner control panel with a protective mechanism. The control panel includes an air conditioner body, with the control panel body inside and a protective component outside. By incorporating the protective component, when the disc is pulled up, a limiting rod slides inside an L-shaped plate. This, combined with a circular plate, causes the spring to compress and deform, disengaging the limiting rod from the limiting hole on the circular block, allowing the door to rotate. This facilitates operation of the control panel body. The protective box and door further protect the control panel body and prevent accidental activation. When the door moves, the fixed block and moving block synchronize the swing of the first, second, third, and fourth hinge rods, making the door rotation more stable. The locking block further stabilizes the connection between the door and the protective box.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air conditioning control panel with a protective mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As air conditioners have become an indispensable temperature control device in various scenarios such as homes, offices, and commercial venues, their functions have also been upgraded from basic cooling and heating to intelligent and multifunctional features, such as fan speed adjustment, mode switching, timer control, and remote linkage. The air conditioner control panel, as the core component for interaction between the user and the air conditioner, directly determines the ease of operation and user experience.

[0003] In the current practical application of air conditioning control panels, especially in industrial air conditioners or commercial air conditioners installed in complex environments, existing control panels generally have insufficient protection performance. On the one hand, traditional control panels are mostly directly exposed to the external environment and lack effective physical protection structures, making them prone to operational errors or panel damage due to accidental touches by personnel or collisions with external objects.

[0004] Although some products are equipped with basic protective boxes, the connection structure between the protective box and the door is simple. The door is prone to jamming and shaking during rotation, and its stability after closing is poor, still posing a risk of accidental activation. On the other hand, in humid, cold, or environments with large temperature differences, traditional protective structures lack effective temperature and humidity regulation mechanisms. The display screen of the control panel is prone to fogging due to ambient moisture, or internal circuits may become damp due to excessive humidity. This not only affects the operator's observation and reading of the information displayed on the panel, but also shortens the service life of the control panel. In view of this, we propose an air conditioner control panel with a protective mechanism. Utility Model Content

The two ends of a clamping spring are fixedly connected between the outer wall of the circular ring plate and the inner wall of the L-shaped plate. The clamping spring is sleeved on the outside of the limit rod. A disc is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the limit rod away from the circular block.

[0007] In a further embodiment, a locking block is fixedly installed on the door, which engages with the inside of the protective box to better secure the door. The door is made of transparent material for easy observation.

[0008] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of the fixed block, the first hinge rod, the second hinge rod, the third hinge rod, the fourth hinge rod, and the moving block are provided, making the rotation of the box door more stable.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the inner diameter of the limiting hole is matched with the outer diameter of the limiting rod, and the movement trajectory of the limiting hole intersects with the limiting rod, so that the limiting rod can smoothly enter the interior of the limiting hole.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the protective box is provided with a flow guiding component, the flow guiding component includes a through groove, the protective box has a through groove, multiple sets of the through groove are provided, an axial flow fan is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective box, and a flow guide plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective box, the flow guide plate is located directly in front of the axial flow fan.

[0011] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of axial flow fans and guide vanes are provided.

[0012] In a further embodiment, a heat dissipation plate is fitted inside the cabinet door to better protect the control panel body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an air conditioner control panel with a protective mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This air conditioner control panel with a protective mechanism, in order to better protect the control panel body, is equipped with a protective component. When the disc is pulled up, the limiting rod slides inside the L-shaped plate. In conjunction with the annular plate, the spring is compressed and deformed, causing the limiting rod to disengage from the limiting hole on the circular block, thereby allowing the door to rotate. This facilitates the operation of the control panel body. Together with the protective box and the door, it can better protect the control panel body and prevent accidental contact. When the door moves, in conjunction with the fixed block and the moving block, the first hinge rod, the second hinge rod, the third hinge rod and the fourth hinge rod swing synchronously, making the door rotation more stable. In conjunction with the locking block, the connection between the door and the protective box is more stable.

[0014] 2. The air conditioner control panel with protective mechanism, in order to further protect the control panel body, firstly guides the hot airflow inside the air conditioner body to the protective box through the through slot. When the axial fan is started, and with the guidance of the guide plate, the airflow is guided to the front end of the control panel body more quickly. The airflow is discharged from the heat sink and the protective box, thereby preventing the display screen of the control panel body from fogging and getting damp in humid or cold environments, and thus further protecting the control panel body.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: An air conditioner control panel with a protective mechanism includes an air conditioner body 1, and a control panel body 2 is disposed inside the air conditioner body 1.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, a protective component 3 is provided on the outside of the control panel body 2. The protective component 3 includes a protective box 31. The protective box 31 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air conditioner body 1. The inner wall of the protective box 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the control panel body 2. A fixing block 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective box 31. One end of the fixing block 32 is internally hinged to one end of a first hinge rod 33, and the other end of the fixing block 32 is internally hinged to one end of a second hinge rod 34. A third hinge rod 35 is hinged to the other end of the first hinge rod 33 and the second hinge rod 34. The other end of the second hinge rod 34 is hinged to one end of a fourth hinge rod 36. The other ends of the third hinge rod 35 and the fourth hinge rod 36 are hinged to both ends inside a movable block 37. The movable block 37 is fixedly installed on the side wall of a door 38. The door 38 is made of transparent material for easy observation. In addition, the fixing block 32, the first hinge rod 33, the second hinge rod 34, the third hinge rod 35, the fourth hinge rod 36, and the movable block 37 are all fixedly installed on the side wall of a door 38. Multiple sets of blocks 37 are provided to make the rotation of the box door 38 more stable. A circular block 39 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box door 38. A limit hole 310 is provided on the circular block 39. An L-shaped plate 311 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective box 31. A limit rod 312 is slidably installed inside the L-shaped plate 311. In addition, the inner diameter of the limit hole 310 is adapted to the outer diameter of the limit rod 312. The movement trajectory of the limit hole 310 intersects with the limit rod 312, so that the limit rod 312 can smoothly enter. Inside the limiting hole 310, a circular ring plate 313 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the limiting rod 312. The outer wall of the circular ring plate 313 and the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 311 are fixedly connected to both ends of the clamping spring 314. The clamping spring 314 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 312. A disc 315 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the limiting rod 312 away from the circular block 39. In addition, a locking block 316 is fixedly installed on the door 38. The locking block 316 is engaged inside the protective box 31 to better fix the door 38.

[0021] In this embodiment, when the control panel body 2 needs to be operated, the operator pulls up the disc 315. The disc 315 drives the limiting rod 312 to slide along the L-shaped plate 311. During this process, the annular plate 313 on the outer wall of the limiting rod 312 moves synchronously and compresses the clamping spring 314, causing the clamping spring 314 to undergo compression deformation and store elastic potential energy. As the limiting rod 312 continues to move upward, its lower end gradually disengages from the limiting hole 310 on the circular block 39, releasing the locked state of the door 38. At this time, the operator can pull the door 38 to rotate, so as to expose the control panel body 2 inside for operation. During the rotation of the door 38, the moving block 37 on its side wall moves synchronously, causing the third hinge rod 35 and the fourth hinge rod 36, which are hinged to it, to swing. The other end of the third hinge rod 35 is hinged to the first hinge rod 33 and the second hinge rod 34. The other end of the fourth hinge rod 36 is hinged to the second hinge rod 34, while the other ends of the first hinge rod 33 and the second hinge rod 34 are both hinged to the fixed block 32. Through this linkage structure, the rotation process of the door 38 is made smoother and more stable, avoiding jamming or shaking. After the operation of the control panel body 2 is completed, the door 38 is rotated in the opposite direction to close it on the protective box 31. At this time, the locking block 316 on the door 38 will be locked into the corresponding slot of the protective box 31, realizing the connection and fixation between the door 38 and the protective box 31. At the same time, the spring 314 releases elastic potential energy, pushing the ring plate 313 and the limiting rod 312 to move down, so that the limiting rod 312 is re-inserted into the limiting hole 310 of the circular block 39, completing the double fixation and ensuring that the door 38 and the protective box 31 are firmly connected. Through the cooperation of the protective box 31 and the door 38, the control panel body 2 can be effectively prevented from being accidentally touched by the outside.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, a flow guiding component 4 is provided on the protective box 31. The flow guiding component 4 includes a through groove 41. The protective box 31 has a through groove 41, and multiple sets of through grooves 41 are provided. An axial flow fan 42 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective box 31. A flow guiding plate 43 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective box 31. The flow guiding plate 43 is located directly in front of the axial flow fan 42. In addition, multiple sets of axial flow fans 42 and flow guiding plates 43 are provided. Furthermore, a heat dissipation plate 44 is snapped into the inside of the box door 38 to better protect the control panel body 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the hot airflow generated during the operation of the air conditioner body 1 enters the interior of the protective box 31 through multiple sets of through slots 41 on the protective box 31. Multiple sets of axial flow fans 42 installed on the inner wall of the protective box 31 are activated. The operation of the axial flow fans 42 generates driving force, which transports the hot airflow entering the protective box 31 towards the control panel body 2. During the airflow transport process, the guide plate 43 on the inner wall of the protective box 31 (located directly in front of the axial flow fans 42) guides the airflow, making the airflow more concentrated and faster to flow towards the front end of the control panel body 2. After flowing through the control panel body 2, the airflow is finally discharged from the protective box 31 through the heat dissipation plate 44 snapped in the box door 38. Through this airflow circulation process, the temperature inside the protective box 31 can be effectively regulated, preventing the display screen of the control panel body 2 from fogging due to temperature difference or dampness due to excessive humidity in humid or cold environments, thereby achieving further protection for the control panel body 2.

[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this application are electrically connected to the controller on the air conditioner body 1 and the 220V mains power. The controller is a conventional and known device that can control the control panel body 2 and the axial fan 42. All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. The standard parts are all conventional models in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
