Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner cabinet unit. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, a floor-standing air conditioner contains a display box and an electrical control box. The display box shows the operating parameters of the unit, while the electrical control box controls its operation. In traditional floor-standing air conditioners, the display box and electrical control box are two independent components. During assembly, the electrical control box is often first installed horizontally on top of the rear panel, then the display box is installed vertically on the front panel, and finally the power cord is plugged in. This assembly method is inconvenient and results in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner cabinet unit to solve the technical problem that the display box and electrical control box of the existing cabinet units are inconvenient to assemble, resulting in low assembly efficiency.
[0004] The air conditioner cabinet unit provided by this utility model includes a fixing component and an electrical control box. The electrical control box includes a box body and a main control board located inside the box body. A display module is provided on one side of the main control board, and a plug-in terminal is provided on the other side of the main control board. The fixing component has an installation port, and the box body is rotatably mounted on the fixing component, with the rotation axis of the box body extending along the vertical direction of the air conditioner cabinet unit. The electrical control box has a plug-in position where the box body is rotatably open relative to the fixing component and an assembly position where it is rotatably closed relative to the fixing component. In the plug-in position, the plug-in terminal is exposed from the front of the air conditioner cabinet unit. In the assembly position, the electrical control box is embedded in the installation port, and the display module faces the front of the air conditioner cabinet unit.
[0005] This air conditioner unit integrates both the display module and the plug-in terminals on the main control board, allowing the main control board to simultaneously perform display and control functions. By rotatably connecting the housing of the main control board to a fixed component, the control box can be rotated open to the plug-in position when power cord connection is required. In this position, the mounting port on the fixed component is exposed, and the plug-in terminal extends to the front of the air conditioner unit, providing ample operating space between the box and the unit body for easy wiring. After wiring is complete, the control box can be rotated closed to the assembly position with the plug-in terminal facing backward and the display module facing forward, allowing users to intuitively obtain the air conditioner unit's operating parameters through the forward-facing display module.
[0006] This air conditioner unit integrates the display box and electrical control box into a single component, reducing the number of parts and thus the assembly process. It eliminates the cumbersome steps of separately installing the display box and electrical control box required in existing technologies. Furthermore, when installing this control box, which combines display and control functions, the plug-in terminals can face the front of the air conditioner unit, allowing for easy power cord connection within a relatively open space. After connection, the control box rotates to close, naturally aligning the display module forward, completing the assembly process and increasing efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, by setting the rotation axis of the housing to extend along the vertical direction of the air conditioner unit, the housing also forms a left-right rotating structure to achieve opening and closing. This design allows the housing to remain in the plug-in position when no external force is applied, eliminating the need for manual support and reducing the workload during wiring. It also facilitates wiring operations and minimizes obstruction of the mounting port, providing a larger open area for workers to observe the internal wiring of the unit.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component is provided with a limiting surface, and at the insertion position, the housing cooperates with the limiting surface. This design not only limits the maximum rotation angle of the housing, preventing collision damage to surrounding components due to excessive opening angle, but also provides a stress point for the housing during wiring to the insertion end, ensuring reliable connection of the power cord to the insertion end and avoiding loose connections.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing component extends from the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner unit along the edge of the mounting opening, forming an upper horizontal wall and a lower horizontal wall that are opposite and spaced apart along the vertical direction of the air conditioner unit. Both the upper and lower horizontal walls are provided with a rotating connection structure, which includes a fixing block with a rotating hole. The top and bottom ends of the housing are each provided with a rotating shaft, which is pivotally inserted into the corresponding rotating hole. One of the upper and lower horizontal walls is fixedly provided with a limiting block, and the limiting surface is disposed on the limiting block. By forming the aforementioned upper and lower horizontal walls along the edge of the mounting opening, on the one hand, the structural strength of the air outlet frame at the mounting opening position can be increased to reduce deformation at the mounting opening; on the other hand, it also provides a rotating support structure for the housing, allowing the top and bottom ends of the housing to be simultaneously rotatably connected to the air outlet frame, ensuring the reliability of the rotating connection.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotating connection structure also includes a guide groove with its opening facing forward and extending rearward to the rotating hole. The guide groove guides the rotating shaft to slide into the rotating hole. This arrangement guides the installation of the electrical control box and improves assembly efficiency.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating connection structure also includes a guide ramp, which is disposed in the guide groove and extends obliquely from front to back towards the center of the mounting opening. The guide ramp facilitates a smooth transition from the opening of the guide groove to the rotating hole, allowing the rotating shaft to slide along the guide ramp towards the rotating hole during the assembly of the electrical control box. This ensures smooth installation of the electrical control box and reduces jamming during installation.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes a first side wall and a second side wall, both located between the upper and lower horizontal walls. The first side wall and the second side wall are opposite to and spaced apart along the left-right direction of the air conditioner unit; the rotation axis of the housing is close to one of the first and second side walls. By positioning the rotation axis of the housing closer to the mounting port, most of the mounting port area can be exposed when the electrical control box is in the plug-in position, providing ample working space for wiring operations.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixing component has a fixing screw hole, and the housing has a connecting light hole that mates with the fixing screw hole; the air conditioner cabinet also includes a connecting bolt, which, in the assembly position, passes through the connecting light hole and is screwed into the fixing screw hole; the fixing screw hole is located near either the first side wall or the second side wall. This design enables the electrical control box to be locked in the assembly position, preventing it from loosening during the operation of the air conditioner cabinet. This not only prevents the cables connected to the electrical control box from breaking, but also reduces noise during the operation of the air conditioner cabinet.
[0014] Furthermore, the air conditioner unit also includes a top cover and a base, with the fixing component located between the top cover and the base, and the mounting opening near the top cover. This arrangement allows the control box to be installed at a position relatively far from the ground, reducing contamination to the control box and placing the parameters displayed by the display module at a relatively high position on the air conditioner unit for easy user reading. Alternatively, the box body includes a base and a cover, with the main control board fixedly disposed inside the base. The base has a display opening for the display module and a plug-in opening for the plug-in terminals. The cover is detachably connected to the side of the base with the plug-in openings. By placing the main control board inside the base, it provides some protection and fixation; by providing the cover, the plug-in terminals can be sealed after wiring, providing some dust protection.
[0015] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a front panel; the rotation axis of the box body is close to the first side wall, the limiting block is located between the first side wall and the rotational connection structure, and the side of the limiting block facing the first side wall forms the limiting surface. This arrangement allows the limiting surface to have sufficient support length to ensure the stability of the box body.
[0016] Furthermore, the fixing component includes an air outlet frame; the rotation axis of the housing is close to the first side wall, and the rotational connection structure and the limiting block are arranged at intervals along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner unit, with the limiting block's side facing the first side wall forming the limiting surface. This arrangement of the limiting block and the rotational connection structure side by side, while using the limiting block to support the limiting electrical control box, also reduces the space occupied by the upper and lower horizontal walls along the front-rear direction, thereby helping to reduce the size of the air conditioner unit along the front-rear direction.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] In traditional air conditioner cabinet units, the display box and the electrical control box are two independent components.
[0040] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the structure of a display box in the prior art. (Example:) Figure 1 As shown, the display box includes a display panel 11, a display faceplate 12, a display cover 13, a display control circuit board 14, a display lamp circuit board 15, and a display base 16. The display panel 11 and the display base 16 are joined together to form a housing structure. The display faceplate 12, display cover 13, display control circuit board 14, and display lamp circuit board 15 are housed within the aforementioned housing structure. During assembly, the display box is typically mounted upright on the front panel to display relevant parameters of the air conditioner unit.
[0041] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the structure of an electrical control box in the prior art. (See diagram below.) Figure 2 As shown, the electrical control box includes an electrical control box body 21, a main control circuit board 22, and an electrical control box cover 23. The electrical control box cover 23 and the electrical control box body 21 are mated to accommodate the main control circuit board 22. During assembly, the electrical control box is horizontally mounted on top of the rear panel.
[0042] Because the display box and electrical control box of the aforementioned air conditioner unit need to be installed separately, not only is the large number of parts resulting in low assembly efficiency, but the inconvenient assembly method also further reduces assembly efficiency.
[0043] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioner cabinet unit to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0044] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] This embodiment provides an air conditioner cabinet unit, including a fixing component 100 and an electrical control box 200, wherein the fixing component 100 includes an air outlet frame 102.
[0047] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the electrical control box 200 of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in Embodiment 1. Figure 3 As shown, the electrical control box 200 includes a box body 210 and a main control board 220 located inside the box body 210. A display module 221 is provided on one side of the main control board 220, and a plug-in terminal 222 is provided on the other side of the main control board 220. In the usage state of the air conditioner cabinet unit, the main control board 220 is placed upright, the display module 221 is located in front of the main control board 220, and the plug-in terminal 222 is located in rear of the main control board 220.
[0048] Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of the electrical control box 200 of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment when it is in the assembly position; Figure 5 This is a partial structural diagram of the electrical control box 200 of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment, with the box cover 212 hidden in the plug-in position. Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram of the electrical control box 200 of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in Embodiment 1 when it is in the plug-in position. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the air outlet frame 102 has an installation port 110, and the box body 210 is rotatably mounted on the air outlet frame 102, with the rotation axis of the box body 210 extending along the vertical direction of the air conditioner unit; the electrical control box 200 has an insertion position in which the box body 210 is rotatably opened relative to the air outlet frame 102 and an assembly position in which the box body 210 is rotatably closed relative to the air outlet frame 102, wherein, in the insertion position, the insertion end 222 is exposed from the front of the air conditioner unit; in the assembly position, the electrical control box 200 is embedded in the installation port 110 and the display module 221 faces the front of the air conditioner unit.
[0049] This air conditioner unit integrates both the display module 221 and the plug-in terminal 222 on the main control board 220, allowing the main control board 220 to simultaneously perform display and control functions. By configuring the housing 210 for accommodating the main control board 220 to be rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 102, the control box 200 can be rotated open to the plug-in position when power cord connection is required. At this position, the mounting port 110 in the air outlet frame 102 is exposed, and the plug-in terminal 222 is open to the front of the air conditioner unit. Sufficient operating space exists between the housing 210 and the unit body, allowing for convenient wiring operations. After wiring is completed, the control box 200 can be rotated closed to the assembly position where the plug-in terminal 222 faces backward and the display module 221 faces forward, allowing users to intuitively obtain the air conditioner unit's operating parameters through the forward-facing display module 221.
[0050] This air conditioner unit integrates the display box and electrical control box into a single component, reducing the number of parts and thus the assembly process. It eliminates the cumbersome steps of separately installing the display box and electrical control box required in existing technologies. Furthermore, when installing this control box 200, which combines display and control functions, the plug-in terminal 222 of the control box 200 can be exposed towards the front of the air conditioner unit. This allows for easy power cord connection within a relatively open space. Moreover, after the connection is complete, the control box 200 rotates to close, allowing the display module 221 to naturally face forward, thus completing the assembly process and increasing assembly efficiency.
[0051] Furthermore, by setting the rotation axis of the housing 210 to extend along the vertical direction of the air conditioner unit, the housing 210 also forms a left-right rotating structure to achieve the purpose of opening and closing. This setting allows the housing 210 to remain in the plugged-in position when no external force is applied, without the need for manual support, which not only reduces the workload during wiring but also facilitates wiring operations. On the other hand, it also reduces the obstruction of the mounting port 110 by the housing 210, allowing the mounting port 110 to have a larger open area, making it easier for staff to observe the internal wiring of the unit.
[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the main control board 220 is a circuit board that can control the operation of the air conditioner unit.
[0053] It should also be noted that, generally speaking, one side of the air conditioner unit is the side facing the room or the user's activity area; this side is the front side of the air conditioner unit. The side facing a corner or a wall is the rear side. When the user is facing the front side of the air conditioner unit, the user's left side is the left side of the air conditioner unit, and the user's right side is the right side of the air conditioner unit. Specifically, in this embodiment, the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions of the air conditioner unit are as follows: Figures 4 to 6 As indicated by the corresponding arrow.
[0054] Figure 7 This is a partial structural diagram of the concealed electrical control box 200 of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment 1; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Enlarged view of the local structure at point A; Figure 9 This is a bottom cross-sectional view of the main structure of the air conditioner unit provided in Embodiment 1. Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the air outlet frame 102 is provided with a limiting surface 131. At the insertion position, the box body 210 and the limiting surface 131 support and cooperate.
[0055] By providing a limiting surface 131 in the air outlet frame 102 for supporting and cooperating with the housing 210 at the plug-in position, on the one hand, the maximum rotation angle of the housing 210 can be limited to prevent collision damage to surrounding components due to excessive opening angle of the housing 210. On the other hand, it can also provide a force-bearing point for the housing 210 during the wiring process of the plug-in terminal 222, so that the power cord can be reliably connected to the plug-in terminal 222 and avoid loose connection.
[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 102 extends from the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner unit along the edge of the mounting port 110, forming an upper horizontal wall 111 and a lower horizontal wall 112 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the vertical direction of the air conditioner unit; both the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112 are provided with a rotating connection structure 120. Specifically, the rotating connection structure 120 includes a fixing block 121, the fixing block 121 having a rotating hole 1211, and the top and bottom ends of the housing 210 are provided with rotating shafts 2113, wherein the rotating shafts 2113 are pivotally inserted into the rotating holes 1211 at the corresponding positions; both the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112 are fixedly provided with limiting blocks 130, and the limiting surface 131 is provided on the limiting block 130.
[0057] By forming the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112 along the edge of the mounting port 110, on the one hand, the structural strength of the air outlet frame 102 at the mounting port 110 position can be increased to reduce the deformation of the mounting port 110 part; on the other hand, it also provides a rotating support structure for the box body 210, so that the top and bottom ends of the box body 210 can be rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 102 at the same time, ensuring the reliability of the rotating connection.
[0058] In addition, by fixing limit blocks 130 on both the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112, when the electrical control box 200 is in the plug-in position, its top and bottom ends can be supported by the air outlet frame 102. That is, the electrical control box 200 is supported by the air outlet frame 102 at both the top and bottom ends, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the force on the electrical control box 200 during the wiring process.
[0059] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the aforementioned limiting block 130 may be provided only on the upper transverse wall 111, or only on the lower transverse wall 112, which can also play a role in limiting the rotation of the electrical control box 200 and providing insertion support force.
[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, the rotating connection structure 120 may further include a guide groove 122, wherein the opening of the guide groove 122 faces forward and the guide groove 122 extends backward to the rotating hole 1211, and the guide groove 122 is used to guide the rotating shaft 2113 to slide into the rotating hole 1211.
[0061] When the control box 200 needs to be installed on the air outlet frame 102, the rotating shaft 2113 located at the top of the box body 210 can be positioned in front of the upper horizontal wall 111, and the rotating shaft 2113 located at the bottom of the box body 210 can be positioned in front of the lower horizontal wall 112, respectively, and opposite to the guide grooves 122 of the rotating connection structure 120 of the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112; then, the box body 210 is pushed, so that the rotating shaft 2113 slides backward in the corresponding guide groove 122; when the rotating shaft 2113 slides to the position of the rotating hole 1211, the rotating shaft 2113 is engaged in the corresponding rotating hole 1211, thereby realizing the rotating connection between the control box 200 and the air outlet frame 102.
[0062] The aforementioned guide groove 122 serves two purposes: firstly, it guides the installation of the electrical control box 200, which helps improve assembly efficiency; secondly, it strengthens the structure around the rotating hole 1211, which helps suppress deformation at the location of the rotating hole 1211.
[0063] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, the rotating connection structure 120 may also include a guide slope 123. Specifically, the guide slope 123 is disposed in the guide groove 122, and the guide slope 123 extends obliquely from front to back toward the center of the mounting opening 110.
[0064] The aforementioned guide slope 123 facilitates the transition of the path from the opening of the guide groove 122 to the rotating hole 1211, allowing the rotating shaft 2113 to slide along the guide slope 123 towards the rotating hole 1211 during the assembly of the electrical control box 200. This ensures smooth installation of the electrical control box 200 and reduces jamming during installation.
[0065] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 102 may also include a first side wall 113 and a second side wall 114 located between the upper horizontal wall 111 and the lower horizontal wall 112, wherein the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the left and right direction of the air conditioner cabinet; the rotation axis of the box body 210 is close to the first side wall 113.
[0066] By bringing the rotation axis of the box 210 close to the first side wall 113, when it is necessary to switch the electrical control box 200 from the assembly position to the plug-in position, the electrical control box 200 can be flipped outward toward the first side wall 113. At this time, the mounting port 110 is exposed in the area between the electrical control box 200 and the second side wall 114, which facilitates the wiring operation by the staff.
[0067] By positioning the rotation axis of the housing 210 close to the mounting port 110, most of the mounting port 110 can be exposed when the electrical control box 200 is in the plug-in position, providing ample working space for wiring operations.
[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the rotating connection structure 120 and the limiting block 130 are arranged at intervals along the front and rear direction of the air conditioner cabinet, and the side of the limiting block 130 facing the first side wall 113 forms a limiting surface 131.
[0069] This design allows the limiting surface 131 to have sufficient support length to ensure the stability of the support for the box 210.
[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the control box 200 is provided with a stop rib 260. At the insertion position, the control box 200 is supported on the limiting surface 131 by the stop rib 260.
[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 102 is provided with a fixing screw hole 310, and the box body 210 is provided with a connecting light hole 320 that cooperates with the fixing screw hole 310; the air conditioner cabinet may also include a connecting bolt (not shown in the figure). In the assembly position, the connecting bolt passes through the connecting light hole 320 and is screwed into the fixing screw hole 310; the fixing screw hole 310 is close to the second side wall 114.
[0072] When the control box 200 is rotated to the assembly position, the connection light hole 320 opened in the box body 210 will be opposite to the fixing screw hole 310 opened in the upper horizontal wall 111. At this time, the connection bolt can be passed through the connection light hole 320 and screwed into the fixing screw hole 310 to lock the control box 200 in the air outlet frame 102 to ensure the positional stability of the control box 200.
[0073] This setting enables the electrical control box 200 to be locked in the assembly position, preventing the electrical control box 200 from becoming loose during the operation of the air conditioner unit. This not only prevents the cables connected to the electrical control box 200 from breaking, but also reduces the noise during the operation of the air conditioner unit.
[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by opening a fixing screw hole 310 near the second side wall 114, the rotating connection part of the control box 200 relative to the air outlet frame 102 and the locking part of the control box 200 relative to the air outlet frame 102 are distributed on a set of opposite sides of the mounting port 110, thereby preventing the control box 200 from partially tilting up when assembled.
[0075] In this embodiment, the first sidewall 113 is located on the left side of the mounting opening 110, and the second sidewall 114 is located on the right side of the mounting opening 110. That is, in this embodiment, the rotation axis of the box body 210 is close to the left side of the mounting opening 110, and the fixing screw hole 310 is opened on the right side of the mounting opening 110, so that the electrical control box 200 can be flipped forward and to the left to open.
[0076] In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the box 210 can be made close to the second side wall 114, and the fixing screw hole 310 can be opened near the first side. In this case, the electrical control box 200 can be flipped open forward and to the right.
[0077] In this embodiment, the air conditioner cabinet unit may also include a top cover 400 and a base (not shown in the figure), wherein the air outlet frame 102 is located between the top cover 400 and the base, and the mounting port 110 is close to the top cover 400.
[0078] This configuration allows the control box 200 to be installed at a location relatively far from the ground. On the one hand, this reduces the contamination of the control box 200. On the other hand, it also allows the parameters displayed by the display module 221 to be positioned relatively high on the air conditioner unit, making them easier for the user to read.
[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 3In this embodiment, specifically, the box body 210 includes a box base 211 and a box cover 212. The main control board 220 is fixedly disposed inside the box base 211. The box base 211 has a display opening 2114 for the display module 221 to be exposed and a plug-in opening 2115 for the plug-in terminal 222 to be exposed. The box cover 212 is detachably connected to the side of the box base 211 that is provided with the plug-in opening 2115.
[0080] When it is necessary to install the electrical control box 200 onto the air outlet frame 102, the box base 211 and its internal electrical components can be rotated and installed together into the rotating hole 1211. Then, the box base 211 is rotated open to the plug-in position for wiring. After the wiring is completed, the box cover 212 is connected to the box base 211. Finally, the box base 211 is rotated closed to the assembly position, and the connecting bolts are passed through the connecting light hole 320 of the box base 211 and screwed into the fixing screw hole 310 of the air outlet frame 102 to complete the assembly of the electrical control box 200.
[0081] By placing the main control board 220 inside the housing 211, the main control board 220 can be protected and fixed to a certain extent. By setting the housing cover 212, the plug terminal 222 can be sealed after the wiring is completed, which can provide a certain dust protection effect for the plug terminal 222.
[0082] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the housing 211 includes a first bracket 2111 and a second bracket 2112 that are fixed together. The first bracket 2111 faces the display module 221 of the main control board 220, and the second bracket 2112 faces the plug-in end 222 of the main control board 220. A display base 250, a display cover plate 240 and a display faceplate 230 are also fixedly disposed on the side of the main control board 220 facing the first bracket 2111.
[0083] In this embodiment, the first bracket 2111 and the second bracket 2112 can be fixed by snap-fit.
