Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an infrared module mounting structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are widely used in people's daily lives to regulate indoor temperature and provide a comfortable environment. With the development of smart technology, some air conditioners are equipped with infrared modules that can detect indoor temperature and feed the temperature signal back to the controller. The controller can then adjust the power of the air conditioner according to demand, achieving the purpose of automatic temperature regulation, creating a comfortable indoor environment for users, improving the performance of the air conditioner, and enhancing the user experience.

[0003] Existing infrared modules can be installed in two ways: one is by screw fastening, which is a complex process, inefficient, and not conducive to later maintenance; the other is by clip fastening, which involves a large number of accessories or components, resulting in a complex structure and making it difficult to save development costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an infrared module installation structure and an air conditioner to solve the defects of the existing technology, such as low installation efficiency due to complex infrared module installation process or high cost due to complex installation structure. It realizes the limitation and fixation of infrared module by multiple limiting parts, simplifies the installation structure, improves installation efficiency, and realizes rapid installation of infrared module.

[0005] This utility model provides an infrared module mounting structure for use in air conditioners, comprising:

[0006] The substrate has a through-hole, through which the probe of the infrared module is exposed.

[0007] First limiting member, multiple first limiting members are distributed along the first direction of the substrate, used to limit the two ends of the circuit board of the infrared module along the length direction;

[0008] Second limiting member, a plurality of second limiting members are distributed along the second direction of the substrate, for fastening the side surface of the circuit board away from the probe;

[0009] Multiple first limiting members and multiple second limiting members are arranged around the clearance hole to form an installation area for mounting the infrared module.

[0010] According to the infrared module mounting structure provided by this utility model, the first limiting member includes a first step portion that cooperates with the front end stop of the circuit board, and the two first step portions respectively abut against the left and right sides of the front end of the circuit board.

[0011] The first limiting member includes a second step portion that cooperates with the rear stop of the circuit board, and the two second step portions respectively abut against the left and right sides of the rear end of the circuit board.

[0012] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided in which the first step portion is set higher than the second step portion, so that the circuit board is arranged at an angle along its length direction.

[0013] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided, wherein the probe is set perpendicular to the circuit board, and the inner side of the substrate is provided with a raised spherical support platform. The clearance hole is formed through the support platform, and the front side of the support platform is higher than the rear side, so that the probe passes through the clearance hole at an angle.

[0014] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided, wherein the second limiting member includes a frame protruding upward from the substrate and a buckle provided at the top of the frame extending into the mounting area, the buckle being fastened to the surface of the circuit board facing away from the probe.

[0015] The height of the frame decreases from the front end to the rear end of the circuit board.

[0016] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided, wherein the frame is hollowed out in the middle, and the second limiting member is configured such that when the probe is squeezed by an external force, the circuit board pushes the buckle to deform, causing the infrared module to come out of the mounting area.

[0017] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided, wherein the top surface of the buckle is provided with a guide slope that slopes inward from top to bottom.

[0018] According to the present invention, an infrared module mounting structure is provided, which further includes: a protective cover that covers the functional area on the substrate, wherein the inner top wall of the protective cover is provided with a downwardly protruding third limiting member, and the third limiting member abuts against the upper outer wall of the frame, so that the buckle fastens the circuit board.

[0019] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the infrared module mounting structure described above.

[0020] According to the present invention, an air conditioner is provided in which the base plate is mounted on the ceiling and the probe is tilted from top to bottom and forward so as to detect the temperature of the area in front.

[0021] The infrared module mounting structure and air conditioner provided by this utility model limit the two ends of the circuit board of the infrared module along its length direction using multiple first limiting members, thus limiting the infrared module in the front-to-back direction. Multiple second limiting members fasten the surface of the circuit board away from the probe, thus limiting the infrared module in the left-to-right and up-to-down directions. This achieves secure fixing of the infrared module, resulting in a simple structure and reliable installation. By exposing the infrared module's probe through clearance holes, it is beneficial for the probe to detect specific areas, improving the accuracy of temperature detection. All limiting members are located on the base plate; during installation, the infrared module only needs to be snapped into the mounting area to engage with the multiple limiting members. Fewer accessories are involved, enabling rapid installation of the infrared module, saving labor costs, and facilitating later maintenance, disassembly, and repair, providing convenience for workers.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an infrared module 20 mounting structure, applied to an air conditioner, comprising:

[0036] The substrate 10 has a clearance hole 101 that penetrates the substrate 10, and the probe 201 of the infrared module 20 is exposed through the clearance hole 101.

[0037] First limiting member 11, multiple first limiting members 11 are distributed along the first direction of the substrate 10, and are used to limit the two ends of the circuit board 202 of the infrared module 20 along the length direction.

[0038] Second limiting member 12, multiple second limiting members 12 are distributed along the second direction of substrate 10, for fastening the side surface of circuit board 202 away from probe 201.

[0039] Multiple first limiting members 11 and multiple second limiting members 12 are arranged around the clearance hole 101 to form an installation area for mounting the infrared module 20.

[0040] Specifically, the air conditioner includes, for example, an air conditioner body, with a base plate 10 mounted on the air conditioner body. The inner side of the base plate 10 has a functional area, on which an infrared module 20 and several other modules are installed to provide corresponding functions, enabling intelligent control of the air conditioner. By providing a clearance hole 101 on the base plate 10, the probe 201 of the infrared module 20 is exposed through the clearance hole 101. When the probe 201 detects temperature, its exposure reduces physical obstruction in the signal transmission path, ensuring direct propagation of the infrared beam, reducing the risk of signal attenuation, and improving detection accuracy and precision. Furthermore, the exposed probe 201 can visually display the module's operating status (e.g., indicator lights) or provide fault information through optical design (e.g., flashing when the infrared signal strength is abnormal), ensuring the reliability of the infrared module 20. Understandably, given that the infrared module 20 is fixed by the limiting component, the exposed probe 201 provides the conditions for disassembling the infrared module 20. That is, when disassembling the infrared module 20, external force can be applied to the probe 201 to make the infrared module 20 come out of the installation area, which can realize the rapid pop-out of the infrared module 20, which is beneficial for maintenance personnel and improves efficiency.

[0041] Multiple limiting members surround the clearance hole 101 to form an installation area. When installing the infrared module 20, the probe 201 can be aligned with the clearance hole 101 to achieve initial positioning of the infrared module 20. Then, the probe 201 is inserted into the clearance hole 101, and the circuit board 202 of the infrared module 20 engages with the multiple limiting members. The installation process does not require any other tools, is simple to operate, and can achieve rapid installation. Here, the first direction refers to the length direction of the circuit board 202. Multiple first limiting members 11 are respectively provided at both ends of the length direction of the circuit board 202. The sets of first limiting members 11 along the front and rear directions can be correspondingly set to ensure that the front and rear ends of the circuit board 202 are correspondingly locked, improving the installation firmness. Of course, the multiple first limiting members 11 along the front and rear directions do not have to be set in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, different numbers of first limiting members 11 can be set at the front and rear ends of the circuit board 202 to increase the flexibility of the arrangement of the first limiting members 11. The second direction refers to the width direction of the circuit board 202. One or more second limiting members 12 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the circuit board 202. The second limiting members 12 can hold the surface of the circuit board 202 away from the probe 201, thereby preventing the circuit board 202 from shaking left and right or up and down and improving the installation firmness.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting member 11 includes a first step portion 111 that cooperates with the front end stop of the circuit board 202, and the two first step portions 111 respectively abut against the left and right sides of the front end of the circuit board 202; the first limiting member 11 includes a second step portion 112 that cooperates with the rear end stop of the circuit board 202, and the two second step portions 112 respectively abut against the left and right sides of the rear end of the circuit board 202.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the front and rear ends of the circuit board 202 are respectively provided with two first limiting members 11. The two first stepped portions 111 abut against the left and right sides of the front end of the circuit board 202, and the two second stepped portions 112 abut against the left and right sides of the rear end of the circuit board 202. This enhances the limiting of the circuit board 202 in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, the multiple stepped portions disperse and abut against the circuit board 202, distributing the force and preventing stress concentration that could lead to localized deformation of the circuit board 202, thereby protecting the structure of the circuit board 202. For example, the stepped portions are L-shaped. The horizontal section of the stepped portion can support the lower surface of the circuit board 202, and the vertical section of the stepped portion can abut against the front or rear end face of the circuit board 202 to form a stop and limit. The structure is simple and reliable in use.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first step portion 111 is disposed above the second step portion 112, such that the circuit board 202 is arranged at an angle along its length direction.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple first step portions 111 have a first height, and multiple second step portions 112 have a second height. In this embodiment, the first height is greater than the second height, so that the circuit board 202 is formed as shown. Figure 4 The tilt state shown is intended to provide conditions for the tilt setting of the probe 201, enabling the probe 201 to detect a certain area and optimizing the detection range of the probe 201.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first height may also be less than or equal to the second height, and may be adjusted according to the angle of the probe 201 to be set.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the probe 201 is set perpendicular to the circuit board 202. The inner side of the substrate 10 is provided with a raised spherical support platform 13. The clearance hole 101 is formed by penetrating the support platform 13. The front side of the support platform 13 is higher than the rear side, so that the probe 201 passes through the clearance hole 101 and is set at an angle.

[0048] By setting up the support platform 13, the probe 201 can be supported and inserted. The front side of the support platform 13 is higher than the rear side, which avoids interference between the circuit board 202 and the support platform 13, and at the same tilt angle as the circuit board 202, ensures that the probe 201 can perform temperature detection on a specific area. Figure 1 As shown, a concave spherical surface is formed on the outer side of the substrate 10 corresponding to the support platform 13, which helps to provide some shielding for the probe 201 in the circumferential direction and provides dust protection.

[0049] Furthermore, Figure 2A first limiting member 11 is provided, comprising a first supporting rib 113 protruding upward from the rear side of a support platform 13, and a second step portion 112 disposed at the front end of the first supporting rib 113. The first supporting rib 113 is partially connected to the support platform 13. On the one hand, this avoids the second step portion 112 being too far away to match the length of the circuit board 202 and thus failing to effectively limit the rear end of the circuit board 202. On the other hand, it improves the strength of the mounting structure, making the support effect of the circuit board 202 or the probe 201 more reliable and optimizing the installation effect of the infrared module 20.

[0050] The first limiting member 11 also includes a second support rib 114 disposed at the front end of the circuit board 202, and a first step portion 111 is formed at the rear end of the second support rib 114. Although Figure 2 In this embodiment, the second support rib 114 is separately disposed from the support platform 13. However, in other embodiments, the rear end of the second support rib 114 may also extend to connect with the support platform 13 to improve the strength of the installation structure. The shapes of the first support rib 113 and the second support rib 114 may be the same or different. The shapes of multiple first support ribs 113 and multiple second support ribs 114 can also be flexible to improve the flexibility of structural processing.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting member 12 includes a frame 121 protruding upward from the substrate 10 and a buckle 122 provided on the top of the frame 121 extending into the mounting area. The buckle 122 is fastened to the side surface of the circuit board 202 away from the probe 201.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, to improve the fixing firmness, multiple clips 122 are provided on both sides of the circuit board 202 along the width direction, and the multiple clips 122 on each side are spaced apart along the length direction of the circuit board 202. By fastening the circuit board 202 with the clips 122 on the left and right sides, it is possible to prevent the circuit board 202 from shaking in the left and right direction, and also to prevent the circuit board 202 from falling out of the mounting area (such as when the substrate 10 is inverted, the circuit board 202 will not fall off), thus ensuring the reliability of the installation.

[0053] Based on this, in order to achieve the tilted setting of the circuit board 202, multiple clips 122 have different heights, such as Figure 2 As shown, the height of the frame 121 decreases from the front end to the rear end of the circuit board 202. As a result, the buckle 122 near the front end of the circuit board 202 is higher than the buckle 122 near the rear end of the circuit board 202, so that the height of the buckles 122 at different positions matches that of the circuit board 202, ensuring that the circuit board 202 is effectively limited while being tilted.

[0054] Furthermore, the frame 121 has a hollowed-out center, and the second limiting member 12 is configured such that when the probe 201 is squeezed by external force, the circuit board 202 pushes the buckle 122 to deform, causing the infrared module 20 to come out of the mounting area.

[0055] The second limiting member 12, for example, is an injection-molded part, capable of a certain degree of elastic bending. When the infrared module 20 needs to be disassembled, pressing the probe 201 from the outside of the clearance hole 101 allows the circuit board 202 to push the latch 122 out from its underside, achieving rapid disassembly of the infrared module 20 for convenient maintenance. The frame 121 is hollowed out, which facilitates the outward bending deformation of the frame 121 when the circuit board 202 pushes the latch 122, thereby accelerating the disassembly of the infrared module 20 and improving efficiency. It can be understood that the second limiting member 12 can be configured to have a certain degree of elasticity as a whole, or only the latch 122 can have a certain degree of elasticity, depending on actual needs.

[0056] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the infrared module 20, the infrared module 20 can be installed from top to bottom. In some embodiments, the top surface of the buckle 122 is provided with a guide slope 123 that slopes inward from top to bottom. The circuit board 202 can be squeezed by the guide slope 123 to make the second limiting member 12 bend elastically, so that the upper surface of the circuit board 202 reaches the lower side of the buckle 122, and the buckle 122 fastens the circuit board 202.

[0057] To further improve the mounting firmness of the infrared module 20, in some embodiments, the mounting structure of the infrared module 20 further includes: a protective cover 14, which covers the functional area on the substrate 10. The inner top wall of the protective cover 14 is provided with a downwardly protruding third limiting member 15, which abuts against the upper outer wall of the frame 121, so that the buckle 122 fastens the circuit board 202.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, by providing a protective cover 14, the functional area containing multiple functional modules can be enclosed, providing dustproof and waterproof protection to extend the service life of the functional modules. Exemplarily, the third limiting member 15 includes opposing short ribs 151 and a long rib 152 connecting the two short ribs 151. The two short ribs 151 can abut against the outer wall of the upper end of the frame 121, which helps the buckle 122 to secure the circuit board 202, reducing the probability of the circuit board 202 loosening, preventing the infrared module 20 from falling out of the installation area, and improving installation stability and reliability. The two third limiting members 15 respectively limit the two frames 121 on both sides, strengthening the installation firmness of the infrared module 20.

[0059] The infrared module 20 mounting structure provided by this utility model uses multiple first limiting members 11 to limit the two ends of the circuit board 202 of the infrared module 20 along the length direction, thereby limiting the infrared module 20 along the front-back direction. Multiple second limiting members 12 fasten the surface of the circuit board 202 away from the probe 201, thereby limiting the infrared module 20 along the left-right and up-down directions. This achieves the fixation of the infrared module 20, resulting in a simple structure and reliable installation. By exposing the probe 201 of the infrared module 20 through the clearance hole 101, it is beneficial for the probe 201 to detect specific areas, improving the accuracy of temperature detection. Since multiple limiting members are all set on the base plate 10, installing the infrared module 20 only requires inserting it into the mounting area to cooperate with the multiple limiting members. This involves fewer accessories, enabling rapid installation of the infrared module 20, saving labor costs, and facilitating later maintenance, disassembly, and repair, providing convenience for workers.

[0060] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the infrared module 20 mounting structure of the above-described embodiments and examples.

[0061] To improve the detection performance of the probe 201 in the infrared module 20, the probe 201 is preferably tilted, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the substrate 10 is mounted on the ceiling 16 and close to one side of the wall 17. After the infrared module 20 is installed, the probe 201 is tilted from top to bottom and forward. This allows the probe 201 to detect the temperature of a large area below and in front (usually the user's activity area), increasing the detection range and enabling the air conditioner to adaptively adjust the temperature, improving its self-regulation capability and providing users with a more comfortable indoor temperature environment.

[0062] The air conditioner provided by this utility model uses multiple first limiting members 11 to limit the two ends of the circuit board 202 of the infrared module 20 along the length direction, thereby limiting the infrared module 20 in the front-to-back direction. Multiple second limiting members 12 fasten the surface of the circuit board 202 away from the probe 201, thereby limiting the infrared module 20 in the left-to-right and up-to-down directions. This achieves the fixation of the infrared module 20, resulting in a simple structure and reliable installation. By exposing the probe 201 of the infrared module 20 through the clearance hole 101, it is beneficial for the probe 201 to detect specific areas, improving the accuracy of temperature detection. All the limiting members are set on the base plate 10. When installing the infrared module 20, it is only necessary to snap the infrared module 20 into the installation area to cooperate with the multiple limiting members. Fewer parts are involved, enabling rapid installation of the infrared module 20, saving labor costs, and facilitating later maintenance, disassembly, and repair, providing convenience for workers.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
