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, floor-standing air conditioners come with a remote control, allowing users to send commands to the unit and control it to operate in the desired mode. This remote control fulfills the user's need for remote control of the air conditioner.

[0003] Currently, the main unit and remote control of existing air conditioner cabinet units are two separate components. Users need to store the remote control separately, and when they need to use the remote control, they often find that they cannot find it, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner cabinet unit that solves the technical problem that the existing air conditioner cabinet unit has two separate parts, namely the body and the remote control, which makes it inconvenient to store the remote control.

[0005] The air conditioner cabinet unit provided by this utility model includes a body, a mounting base, a remote control, and a press-to-unlock component. The surface of the body has a storage slot. The mounting base is movably mounted in the storage slot. The remote control is detachably connected to the mounting base. The mounting base has a retrieval position for extending the remote control forward from the storage slot and a storage position for storing the remote control in the storage slot. The press-to-unlock component is mounted on the body and is kinetically connected to the mounting base. The press-to-unlock component is used to drive the mounting base to switch from the storage position to the retrieval position.

[0006] By configuring the air conditioner cabinet unit, which mainly consists of the unit body, mounting base, remote control, and press-to-unlock component, when the remote control function is not needed, the mounting base in the storage slot can be in the storage position, and the remote control can be connected to the mounting base, at which point the remote control will be contained in the storage slot. When it is necessary to remove the remote control from the storage slot, the mounting base can be switched from the storage position to the retrieval position by pressing the unlock component, so that the remote control extends forward into the storage slot. By releasing the connection between the remote control and the mounting base, the remote control can be removed from the storage slot.

[0007] Therefore, it can be seen that the above-mentioned design of the air conditioner unit allows the remote control to be stored in the unit body, thus solving the problem of inconvenient remote control storage in the prior art.

[0008] Furthermore, a first travel limiting structure is provided between the mounting base and the storage slot. The first travel limiting structure includes a first travel limiting hole and a first travel limiting part movably disposed in the first travel limiting hole in the front-back direction. One of the first travel limiting hole and the first travel limiting part is disposed in the mounting base, and the other is disposed in the storage slot. The first travel limiting structure is used to limit the maximum travel of the mounting base away from the storage slot. The aforementioned first travel limiting structure prevents the mounting base from falling out of the storage slot due to excessive movement.

[0009] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​structure and a first elastic element are provided between the mounting base and the body. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap protrusion and a slot, wherein one of the snap protrusion and the slot is located on the mounting base, and the other of the snap protrusion and the slot is located on the body. In the storage position, the slot engages with the snap protrusion; in the retrieval position, the slot disengages from the snap protrusion. The press-to-unlock component is used to disengage the snap protrusion from the slot. The first elastic element is used to ensure that the mounting base always tends to move towards the retrieval position. By providing a snap-fit ​​structure and a first elastic element between the mounting base and the body, not only can a fixed connection between the mounting base and the body be achieved, but also, when the remote control needs to be removed, the press-to-unlock component can easily release the connection restriction between the mounting base and the body, so that the mounting base automatically switches to the retrieval position under the action of the first elastic element, making operation simple.

[0010] Furthermore, the first travel limiting hole is formed in the receiving groove, and the first travel limiting part includes a retaining arm disposed on the mounting base and a retaining hook disposed on the retaining arm. The retaining arm passes through the first travel limiting hole, and the retaining hook is used to engage with the first travel limiting hole to limit the travel of the mounting base; the retaining groove is formed in the retaining arm. This form of retaining arm with the retaining groove disposed in the first travel limiting part allows the first travel limiting part to have both a travel limiting function and a connection function with the mounting base, which helps to simplify the installation structure of the mounting base.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple first travel limiting parts are provided, spaced apart. A portion of the body protrudes towards the inner cavity of the body to form a locking protrusion. This locking protrusion is located between the multiple first travel limiting parts and can simultaneously engage with the locking slots provided on each of the locking arms. This design not only increases the number of engagement points between the mounting base and the body, improving engagement reliability, but also allows for simultaneous engagement with multiple locking slots using a single locking protrusion, simplifying the structure of the air conditioner unit.

[0012] Furthermore, the press-to-unlock assembly includes a button, a linkage, an unlocking component, and a second elastic component. The button is movably mounted on the body, and the unlocking component is movably disposed between multiple first travel limit portions. The linkage is rotatably mounted on the body, with one end engaging with the button and the other end engaging with the unlocking component. The button drives the linkage to rotate, the linkage drives the unlocking component to move, and the unlocking component drives the slot to disengage from the protrusion. The second elastic component ensures the button always has a tendency to reset. This method, where pressing the button rotates the linkage to drive the unlocking component and disengage the slot from the protrusion, has a simple force transmission path. Furthermore, when the button is released, it automatically resets, allowing the remote control to be repositioned in the storage slot before the next retrieval operation.

[0013] Furthermore, the unlocking component includes a spring plate, which has a central protrusion and a plurality of free ends located circumferentially around the central protrusion. The number of free ends is the same as the number of the first travel limiting portions, and each free end corresponds one-to-one with a plurality of the first travel limiting portions. Each free end is slidably mounted on the body. The central protrusion cooperates with the connecting rod, which is used to press the central protrusion so that the free ends can press against the corresponding first travel limiting portions. This form of unlocking component using a spring plate is not only simple in structure, but also allows the spring plate to automatically exit the movement path of the first travel limiting portion after the pressing force is removed, without the need for additional reset elements, thus simplifying the structure of the press-to-unlock assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the body is provided with a button slot, in which the button is accommodated. The second elastic member is disposed between the button and the button slot, and a second travel limiting structure is provided between the button and the button slot. The second travel limiting structure is used to limit the maximum travel of the button away from the button slot. The above-mentioned button slot can accommodate the button, and by providing a second travel limiting structure between the button and the button slot, the maximum forward travel of the button can be limited, preventing the button from moving excessively and dislodging from the button slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a hook, and the remote control is provided with a hanging slot that cooperates with the hook. This method of connecting the remote control to the mounting base using the cooperation of the hanging slot and the hook is not only simple in structure and easy to process and manufacture, but also convenient for taking the remote control out and putting it in, which helps to improve the user experience. Alternatively, the remote control is magnetically fixed to the mounting base, and a positioning structure is provided between the remote control and the mounting base. This method of connecting the remote control to the mounting base using magnetic attraction and positioning structure, using the positioning structure for positioning and the magnetic attraction for connection, allows the remote control to be stably connected to the mounting base, avoiding the remote control shaking. In addition, the positioning structure can also provide a certain load-bearing function to reduce the load on the magnetic attraction part.

[0016] Furthermore, the remote control is equipped with a display panel for displaying the operating parameters of the air conditioner unit. This design allows the remote control to not only remotely operate the air conditioner unit but also display its operating parameters, achieving multiple functions in one device and reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner unit.

[0038] 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.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment when the mounting base 200 is in the storage position and the button 410 is not pressed. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment at the moment when button 410 is pressed; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the air conditioner unit provided in Embodiment 1 when button 410 is pressed and mounting base 200 is in the detached position. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an air conditioner cabinet unit, including a unit body 100 and a remote control 300.

[0041] Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial side sectional view of the air conditioner unit. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A magnified view of the local structure at point A. Please continue referring to this. Figures 1 to 3 and combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air conditioner unit also includes a mounting base 200 and a press-to-unlock component 400. Specifically, the surface of the unit body 100 is provided with a storage slot 110. The mounting base 200 is movably mounted in the storage slot 110. The remote control 300 is detachably connected to the mounting base 200. The mounting base 200 has a retrieval position for extending the remote control 300 forward out of the storage slot 110 and a storage position for storing the remote control 300 in the storage slot 110. The press-to-unlock component 400 is mounted on the unit body 100 and is connected to the mounting base 200 in a transmission manner. The press-to-unlock component 400 is used to drive the mounting base 200 to switch from the storage position to the retrieval position.

[0042] When the remote control function of the remote control 300 is not needed, the mounting base 200 in the storage slot 110 can be in the storage position, and the remote control 300 can be connected to the mounting base 200. At this time, the remote control 300 will be accommodated in the storage slot 110. When it is necessary to remove the remote control 300 from the storage slot 110, the mounting base 200 can be switched from the storage position to the retrieval position by pressing the unlocking component 400, so that the remote control 300 extends forward out of the storage slot 110. By releasing the connection restriction between the remote control 300 and the mounting base 200, the remote control 300 can be removed from the storage slot 110.

[0043] Therefore, it can be seen that the above-mentioned design of the air conditioner cabinet unit allows the remote control 300 to be stored in the unit body 100, thereby solving the problem of inconvenient storage of the remote control 300 in the prior art.

[0044] Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a bottom-view structural cross-sectional view of the air conditioner unit. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A magnified view of the local structure at point B. (See image below.) Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a first travel limiting structure 500 is provided between the mounting base 200 and the storage groove 110. The first travel limiting structure 500 includes a first travel limiting hole 510 and a first travel limiting part 520 that is movably disposed in the first travel limiting hole 510 in the front-back direction. The first travel limiting hole 510 is disposed in the storage groove 110, and the first travel limiting part 520 is disposed in the mounting base 200. The first travel limiting structure 500 is used to limit the maximum travel of the mounting base 200 away from the storage groove 110.

[0045] During the process of switching the mounting base 200 from the storage position to the retrieval position by pressing the unlocking component 400, as the mounting base 200 moves back and forth in the storage slot 110, the first travel limit part 520 slides in the first travel limit hole 510. When the first travel limit part 520 moves to the limit position in the first travel limit hole 510, the mounting base 200 is at the position furthest away from the storage slot 110, thus limiting the travel of the mounting base 200.

[0046] The aforementioned first stroke limiting structure 500 can prevent the mounting base 200 from falling out of the storage slot 110 due to excessive movement of the mounting base 200.

[0047] In other embodiments, the first stroke limiting hole 510 can be provided on the mounting base 200, and the first stroke limiting part 520 can be provided on the receiving groove 110. Similarly, the cooperation between the first stroke limiting part 520 and the first stroke limiting hole 510 can be used to limit the maximum stroke of the mounting base 200 away from the receiving groove 110.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​structure 700 and a first elastic member 600 are provided between the mounting base 200 and the body 100. The snap-fit ​​structure 700 includes a snap protrusion 710 and a slot 720, wherein the snap protrusion 710 is disposed on the body 100 and the slot 720 is disposed on the mounting base 200. In the storage position, the slot 720 and the snap protrusion 710 are snap-fitted together. In the retrieval position, the slot 720 and the snap protrusion 710 are disengaged. The pressing unlocking component 400 is used to disengage the snap protrusion 710 from the slot 720. The first elastic member 600 is used to ensure that the mounting base 200 always has a tendency to move towards the retrieval position.

[0049] The aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure 700 allows the mounting base 200 to be snapped and fixed to the body 100, thereby enabling installation on the body 100. At this time, the mounting base 200 is in the storage position, and the remote control 300 is stored in the storage slot 110. The first elastic element 600 stores elastic potential energy. When it is necessary to switch the mounting base 200 from the storage position to the retrieval position, the unlocking component 400 is pressed to disengage the snap protrusion 710 from the slot 720. The elastic potential energy stored in the first elastic element 600 is released. Under the action of the first elastic element 600, the mounting base 200 is pushed out to the retrieval position, thereby enabling the remote control 300 to automatically extend forward.

[0050] By setting a snap-fit ​​structure 700 and a first elastic element 600 between the mounting base 200 and the body 100, not only can the mounting base 200 and the body 100 be fixedly connected, but also, when the remote control 300 needs to be removed, it is easy to press the unlocking component 400 to release the connection restriction between the mounting base 200 and the body 100, so that the mounting base 200 can automatically switch to the retrieval position under the action of the first elastic element 600, making the operation simple.

[0051] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the protrusion 710 can be disposed on the mounting base 200 and the slot 720 can be disposed on the body 100. The mounting base 200 can also be fixed on the body 100 by the engagement of the protrusion 710 and the slot 720.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the first stroke limiting part 520 includes a locking arm 521 disposed on the mounting base 200 and a locking hook 522 disposed on the locking arm 521. The locking arm 521 passes through the first stroke limiting hole 510, and the locking hook 522 is used to engage with the first stroke limiting hole 510 to limit the movement stroke of the mounting base 200. A slot 720 is formed in the locking arm 521.

[0053] When the unlocking component 400 is pressed to release the connection between the latch protrusion 710 and the slot 720, causing the latch protrusion 710 to disengage from the slot 720, the connection restriction between the mounting base 200 and the body 100 is released. Under the action of the first elastic element 600, the mounting base 200 moves forward, pushing out the remote control 300. During the forward movement of the mounting base 200, the latch arm 521 moves forward within the first travel limit hole 510. When the latch arm 521 moves to the point where the latch hook 522 engages with the first travel limit hole 510, the mounting base 200 moves forward to its maximum travel. At this point, it is convenient for the user to remove the remote control 300 from the mounting base 200. When it is necessary to put the remote control 300 back into the mounting base 200, the remote control 300 can be pushed into the storage slot 110. During this process, the mounting base 200 will move backward, and the first elastic element 600 will be compressed. When the mounting base 200 moves to the slot 720 and gradually passes the protrusion 710, the mounting base 200 is fixed in the storage slot 110. At the same time, the remote control 300 is also connected to the mounting base 200.

[0054] This arrangement, where the slot 720 is positioned on the arm 521 of the first travel limit portion 520, allows the first travel limit portion 520 to have both a travel limit function and a connection function with the mounting base 200, which helps to simplify the installation structure of the mounting base 200.

[0055] It should 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 of the air conditioner unit. The side facing a corner or a wall is the rear side. Specifically, in this embodiment, the front-rear direction of the air conditioner unit is as follows: Figure 7 The corresponding arrows are shown in the diagram.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, there are two first stroke limiting parts 520, which are spaced apart. A portion of the body 100 protrudes towards the inner cavity of the body 100 to form a locking protrusion 710. The locking protrusion 710 is located between the two first stroke limiting parts 520, and the locking protrusion 710 can simultaneously engage with the locking slots 720 provided in each locking arm 521.

[0057] With the above settings, on the one hand, the slot 720 can engage with the two ends of the protrusion 710, which not only ensures the uniformity of force on the mounting base 200 and the body 100, but also increases the number of engagement points and improves engagement reliability. On the other hand, one protrusion 710 can be used to engage with multiple slots 720 at the same time, eliminating the need to set multiple protrusions 710, which helps to simplify the structure of the air conditioner cabinet unit in this embodiment.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the press-to-unlock assembly 400 may include a button 410, a connecting rod 420, an unlocking member 430, and a second elastic member 440. The button 410 is movably mounted on the body 100, and the unlocking member 430 is movably disposed between a plurality of first travel limit portions 520. The connecting rod 420 is rotatably mounted on the body 100, and one end of the connecting rod 420 is used to cooperate with the button 410, while the other end of the connecting rod 420 is used to cooperate with the unlocking member 430. The button 410 is used to drive the connecting rod 420 to rotate, and the connecting rod 420 is used to drive the unlocking member 430 to move. The unlocking member 430 is used to drive the slot 720 to disengage from the protrusion 710. The second elastic member 440 is used to ensure that the button 410 always has a tendency to reset.

[0059] When the remote control 300 needs to be removed, button 410 is pressed to drive the linkage 420 to rotate. During this process, the second elastic element 440 stores elastic potential energy. As the linkage 420 rotates, it drives the unlocking element 430 to actuate, causing the slot 720 on the locking arm 521 to disengage from the protrusion 710, releasing the engagement between the protrusion 710 and the slot 720. This allows the mounting base 200 to move freely relative to the body 100 in the front-back direction. At this time, under the action of the first elastic element 600, the mounting base 200 is pushed out to the retrieval position, causing the remote control 300 to extend forward. After the pressure applied to button 410 disappears, the elastic potential energy stored in the second elastic element 440 is released, causing button 410 to reset.

[0060] This method, which uses pressing button 410 to rotate linkage 420, thereby driving unlocking component 430 to disengage card slot 720 from card protrusion 710, has a simple force transmission path. Furthermore, when the button 410 is released, it can automatically reset so that after the remote control 300 is repositioned into storage slot 110, the next retrieval operation can continue.

[0061] In this embodiment, both the first elastic element 600 and the second elastic element 440 are helical springs. This arrangement of the first elastic element 600 and the second elastic element 440 results in a simple structure and low cost.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the unlocking member 430 may include a spring piece, which may include a central protrusion 431 and a plurality of free ends 432 located circumferentially around the central protrusion 431. The number of free ends 432 is the same as the number of first stroke limiting parts 520, which is also two. The two free ends 432 correspond one-to-one with the two first stroke limiting parts 520, and each free end 432 is slidably mounted on the body 100. The central protrusion 431 cooperates with the connecting rod 420. The connecting rod 420 is used to press the central protrusion 431 so that the free ends 432 can be pressed into the corresponding first stroke limiting parts 520.

[0063] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 When the connecting rod 420 transmits the force to the central protrusion 431, the central protrusion 431 is compressed and deformed. At this time, the central protrusion 431 is gradually flattened, so that the two free ends 432 can move towards the corresponding first stroke limit part 520 to transmit the pressure to the corresponding first stroke limit part 520. Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, when the two first stroke limiting parts 520 are subjected to pressure from the two free ends 432, they will move away from each other, thereby allowing the slots 720 provided on each first stroke limiting part 520 to disengage from the middle protrusion 710, thus releasing the connection between the mounting base 200 and the body 100.

[0064] When the pressing force applied to button 410 disappears, the force on linkage 420 also disappears, thus no longer applying a squeezing force to the middle protrusion 431. Since the unlocking member 430 is a spring, under the action of its own elastic restoring force, the unlocking member 430 returns to its shape when it is not subjected to squeezing force, so that the free end 432 can automatically exit the movement path of the first stroke limit part 520, so as to prevent interference with the movement of the first stroke limit part 520 when the mounting base 200 is switched back to the storage position.

[0065] This form of using a spring to form the unlocking component 430 is not only simple in structure, but also allows the spring to automatically exit the movement path of the first stroke limit part 520 after the pressing pressure is removed, without the need for an additional reset element, which helps to simplify the structure of the press unlocking component 400.

[0066] It should be noted that in other embodiments, when the first stroke limit part 520 is in other quantities, the number of free ends 432 provided by the unlocking member 430 is also adjusted accordingly, so that each first stroke limit part 520 can be driven through each free end 432 respectively.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the protrusion 710 is provided with a groove 711, and the free end 432 is slidably disposed in the groove 711. The groove 711 not only enables the installation of the unlocking component 430 on the body 100, but also guides the movement of the free end 432 when the middle protrusion 431 is subjected to the squeezing force of the connecting rod 420.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the surface of the body 100 is also provided with a button groove 120, wherein the button 410 is accommodated in the button groove 120, the second elastic member 440 is disposed between the button 410 and the button groove 120, and a second travel limiting structure 900 is provided between the button 410 and the button groove 120. The second travel limiting structure 900 is used to limit the maximum travel of the button 410 away from the button groove 120.

[0069] The aforementioned button slot 120 can accommodate the button 410. Furthermore, by setting a second travel limit structure 900 between the button 410 and the button slot 120, the maximum forward travel of the button 410 can be limited, preventing the button 410 from moving excessively and dislodging from the button slot 120.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second travel limiting structure 900 may include a second travel limiting hole 910 and a second travel limiting part 920. The second travel limiting hole 910 is formed in the body 100, specifically in the bottom wall of the button slot 120; the second travel limiting part 920 is disposed on the side of the button 410 facing the button slot 120. By utilizing the cooperation between the second travel limiting part 920 and the second travel limiting hole 910, the maximum forward travel of the button 410 can be limited.

[0071] The travel limiting principle of the second travel limiting structure 900 is similar to that of the first travel limiting structure 500, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In this embodiment, when button 410 is pressed, button 410 transmits the force to linkage 420 through the second travel limit part 920. This arrangement allows the second travel limit part 920 to have both a travel limit function and a function of transmitting pressing force.

[0073] In this embodiment, the button slot 120 is located above the storage slot 110 and is connected to the storage slot 110.

[0074] It should be noted that in this embodiment, "button 410 reset" means that button 410 moves to the position before it was pressed. Specifically, in this embodiment, when button 410 is reset, button 410 is coplanar with the front surface of the body 100.

[0075] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the remote control 300 and the mounting base 200 of the air conditioner unit provided in Embodiment 1. Please refer to the following diagram. Figure 5 and combined Figure 8 In this embodiment, the mounting base 200 is provided with a hook 210, and the remote control 300 is provided with a hanging groove 310 that cooperates with the hook 210.

[0076] When it is necessary to connect the remote control 300 to the mounting base 200, simply align the hanging slot 310 on the back of the remote control 300 with the hook 210 on the front of the mounting base 200. The remote control 300 will then be hung on the mounting base 200 by the engagement of the hanging slot 310 and the hook 210. When it is necessary to remove the remote control 300 from the mounting base 200, simply release the engagement between the hanging slot 310 and the hook 210 to remove the remote control 300.

[0077] This method of connecting the remote control 300 to the mounting base 200 by using the combination of the hanging slot 310 and the hook 210 is not only simple in structure and easy to process and manufacture, but also convenient for taking the remote control 300 out and putting it in, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the remote controller 300 is provided with a display panel 320, which is used to display the operating parameters of the air conditioner unit.

[0079] This setting enables the remote control 300 to not only remotely control the air conditioner unit, but also to display the operating parameters of the air conditioner unit.

[0080] Specifically, the remote control 300 can replace the display panel and control panel of the air conditioner unit, displaying and adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner unit. The remote control 300 is multi-functional, integrating the display function of the remote control 300 with the display function of the air conditioner unit panel. The remote control 300 can be used as a standalone remote control 300 or as an operation and display system on the air conditioner unit, saving a set of display and operation equipment. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner unit and reduces resource waste, but also increases the utilization rate of the display panel 320.

[0081] The display of the air conditioner unit's operating parameters on the remote control 300 is something that those skilled in the art can obtain based on existing technology. This embodiment does not improve upon this, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0082] It should be noted that since the display panel 320 of the remote control 300 replaces the display light panel of the air conditioner unit, the operating logic of the remote control 300 can be modified to meet the requirement that the display light panel of the air conditioner unit is usually set to be constantly lit. For example, a position detection module can be built into the remote control 300. When the position detection module detects that the remote control 300 has been installed in the storage slot 110, the temperature display is constantly lit; when the position detection module detects that the remote control 300 has been removed from the storage slot 110, the display panel 320 lights up for a period of time and then turns off the backlight to save power.

[0083] The method of detecting the position of the remote controller 300 through the position detection module to control the display state of the display panel 320 is something that those skilled in the art can obtain based on existing technology. This embodiment does not improve on this, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The following describes the process of removing and storing the remote control 300 from the air conditioner unit.

[0085] The initial state is with remote control 300 stored in storage slot 110. Please continue to refer to [the documentation / reference]. Figure 5 When the remote control 300 needs to be removed from the storage slot 110, the button 410 is pressed, causing the button 410 to move backward in the button slot 120. During this process, the second elastic element 440 is compressed. During the movement of the button 410, the force is transmitted to the connecting rod 420 through the second stroke limit part 920, driving the connecting rod 420 clockwise. Figure 5 (As shown in the image) Rotation; during the rotation of link 420, please continue to refer to... Figure 7 The connecting rod 420 will press the middle protrusion 431 of the unlocking member 430, so that the unlocking member 430 will undergo elastic deformation, thereby allowing each of its free ends 432 to move in the direction of the corresponding first stroke limit part 520. By applying a pushing force to the first stroke limit part 520, the slot 720 provided by the locking arm 521 of the first stroke limit part 520 can be disengaged from the locking protrusion 710 provided by the body 100, thereby releasing the connection restriction between the mounting base 200 and the body 100. Under the action of the first elastic member 600, the mounting base 200 is pushed out, so that the remote control 300 extends forward into the storage slot 100, thereby realizing the retrieval operation of the remote control 300.

[0086] When the pressing force on button 410 disappears, button 410 resets under the elastic restoring force of second elastic element 440. Since the force acting on linkage 420 also disappears at this time, the force acting on unlocking element 430 also disappears, thereby causing unlocking element 430 to reset under its own elastic restoring force, so as to exit the movement path of first stroke limit part 520.

[0087] When it is necessary to put the remote control 300 into the storage slot 110, simply push the remote control 300 from the front of the storage slot 110 toward the mounting base 200 so that the remote control 300 is connected to the mounting base 200. During this process, the mounting base 200 moves backward so that the slot 720 of the locking arm 521 of the first stroke limit part 520 can engage with the locking protrusion 710, thereby connecting the mounting base 200 with the body 100.

[0088] Example 2

[0089] This embodiment provides another type of air conditioner cabinet unit, which differs from the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in Embodiment 1 above in the following ways.

[0090] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the remote control 300 and the mounting base 200 of the air conditioner unit provided in Embodiment 2. Figure 9 As shown, the remote control 300 is magnetically fixed to the mounting base 200, and a positioning structure 800 is provided between the remote control 300 and the mounting base 200.

[0091] When it is necessary to connect the remote control 300 to the mounting base 200, the positioning structure 800 can be used to position the remote control 300 on the mounting base 200. During the positioning process, the remote control 300 will automatically be attracted to the mounting base 200, thus securing the remote control 300 to the mounting base 200. When it is necessary to remove the remote control 300 from the mounting base 200, simply apply a force away from the mounting base 200 to release the magnetic attraction between the remote control 300 and the mounting base 200, and then the remote control 300 can be removed.

[0092] This method, which uses magnetic attraction and a positioning structure 800 to connect the remote control 300 to the mounting base 200, utilizes the positioning structure 800 for positioning and the magnetic attraction for connection. This ensures that the remote control 300 is stably connected to the mounting base 200, preventing the remote control 300 from shaking. In addition, the positioning structure 800 also provides some load-bearing capacity, reducing the load on the magnetic attraction components.

[0093] Specifically, please continue to refer to Figure 9 The mounting base 200 is fixedly provided with a magnetic adsorption component 220. Correspondingly, a component (not shown in the figure) to be magnetically attracted and engaged with the magnetic adsorption component 220 can be provided at the rear of the remote controller 300. The positioning structure 800 may include a plurality of positioning posts 810 provided on the mounting base 200 and a plurality of positioning slots 820 provided at the rear of the remote controller 300. The positioning of the remote controller 300 is achieved by the separate insertion and engagement of the plurality of positioning posts 810 and the plurality of positioning slots 820.
