Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning installation equipment technology, specifically to an air guide frame structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] The air conditioner product structure includes an air guide frame, to which a fan cover is detachably connected. During the assembly of the air guide frame and fan cover, the current production line requires two hands to tighten the fan cover. One hand holds the fan cover firmly against the air guide frame to prevent it from falling off, while simultaneously ensuring that the through-hole on the fan cover is aligned with the center of the screw post on the air guide frame during pressing, so that the other hand can quickly tighten the screws, keeping pace with the production line.

[0003] This assembly method has several drawbacks. After prolonged production, employee fatigue can make it difficult to assemble the fan cover, the center holes of the fan cover and the air guide frame cannot be aligned, and the fan cover may occasionally fall off, affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, since the fan cover is fastened with screws, it is inconvenient to disassemble, increases material costs, and leads to low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the technical problems of difficult assembly of existing air guide frames and fan covers, which affect production efficiency, this utility model provides an air guide frame structure and an air conditioner.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: The air guide frame structure includes an air guide frame and a fan cover, which are detachably connected. Multiple clips are provided on the side of the fan cover opposite the air guide frame, with one being the first clip and the rest being second clips. Corresponding to the second clips, the air guide frame has a limiting rib. When the air guide frame and fan cover are assembled, the limiting rib and the second clip are in an interference fit. Corresponding to the first clip, the air guide frame has an elastic clip. When the air guide frame and fan cover are assembled, the inner surface of the first clip and the outer surface of the elastic clip abut against each other. The fan cover can rotate relative to the air guide frame to achieve assembly. A protruding rib is provided at the end of the first clip. When the air guide frame and fan cover are assembled, the protruding rib is located on the side where the elastic clip is located, so that the protruding rib can restrict the fan cover and air guide frame from rotating out in the opposite assembly direction.

[0006] In this application, the above technical solution allows for assembly of the fan cover without the need for screws, improving assembly efficiency and reducing material costs. It also avoids the problem of misaligning bolt holes, and the fan cover can be firmly fixed by rotating it with one hand. The interference fit between the second clip and the limiting rib can also prevent the fan cover from axially loosening. The protruding rib on the first clip can prevent the fan cover from being rotated out in the reverse assembly direction.

[0007] In some embodiments, a lever is provided on one side of the elastic clip. When the air guide frame and the fan cover are assembled, the lever is located outside the fan cover, so that the lever can be driven by force to move the elastic clip away from the rib.

[0008] In some embodiments, the outer side of the elastic clip also includes a wedge-shaped surface or an arc-shaped surface to facilitate the assembly of the protruding ribs on the first clip.

[0009] In some embodiments, when the air guide frame and fan cover are assembled, the interference fit of the limiting rib and the second clip is 0.1mm-0.2mm.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the air guide frame and fan cover are assembled, the inner surface of the first clip and the outer surface of the elastic clip abut against each other, and the protruding rib at the end of the first clip protrudes 0.2mm-0.5mm above the inner surface.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air guide frame is provided with an annular limiting protrusion near the central area. When the air guide frame and the fan cover are assembled, there is a gap of 0.3mm-0.5mm between the clip on the fan cover and the annular limiting protrusion in the direction outward from the center of the fan cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, a column is provided on the air guide frame, and a corresponding groove is provided on the fan cover. When the column and the groove on the fan cover are engaged, the fan cover can rotate relative to the air guide frame to achieve assembly. When the fan cover and the air guide frame are assembled in place, the column abuts against one end of the groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the column is mounted on one of the limiting ribs on the air guide frame.

[0014] In some embodiments, the groove on the fan cover extends through the fan cover in the thickness direction, so that the position of the groove where the column is located can be directly observed during the assembly process.

[0015] This utility model also provides an air conditioner that includes the air guide structure described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The above technical solution allows for assembly without screws to fasten the fan cover, improving assembly efficiency and reducing material costs. It also avoids the problem of misaligning bolt holes, and the fan cover can be firmly fixed by rotating it with one hand. The interference fit between the second clip and the limiting rib can also prevent the fan cover from axially loosening. The protruding rib on the first clip can prevent the fan cover from being rotated out in the reverse assembly direction. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an air guide frame structure and an air conditioner.

[0022] The air conditioner 12 is equipped with an air guide structure, including an air guide 7 and a fan cover 1, which are detachably connected.

[0023] Multiple clips are provided on the side of the fan cover 1 opposite to the air guide frame 7, one of which is the first clip 2 and the rest are the second clips 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fan cover 1 has three clips, including a first clip 2 and two second clips 3.

[0025] Combination Figure 4 As shown, corresponding to the second clip 3, the air guide frame 7 is provided with a limiting rib 10. When the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the limiting rib 10 and the second clip 3 are interference-fitted.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, corresponding to the first clip 2, the air guide frame 7 is provided with an elastic clip 9. When the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the inner surface 6 of the first clip 2 and the outer surface of the elastic clip 9 abut against each other.

[0027] The fan cover 1 can rotate relative to the air guide frame 7 to achieve assembly.

[0028] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first clip 2 has a protruding rib 5 at its end. When the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the protruding rib 5 is located on the side where the elastic clip 9 is located, so that the protruding rib 5 can restrict the fan cover 1 and the air guide frame 7 from rotating out in the reverse assembly direction.

[0029] In this application, the above technical solution allows for assembly of the fan cover 1 without the need for screws, improving assembly efficiency and reducing material costs. It also avoids the problem of misaligning bolt holes, and the fan cover 1 can be firmly fixed by rotating it with one hand. The interference fit between the second clip 3 and the limiting rib 10 can also prevent the fan cover 1 from axially loosening. The protruding rib 5 on the first clip 2 can prevent the fan cover 1 from being rotated out in the reverse assembly direction.

[0030] Preferably, when the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the interference of the limiting rib 10 and the second clip 3 is 0.1mm-0.2mm to prevent the fan cover 1 from moving axially. In this embodiment, 0.2mm is selected.

[0031] Preferably, when the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the inner surface 6 of the first clip 2 and the outer surface of the elastic clip 9 abut against each other, and the protruding rib 5 at the end of the first clip 2 is 0.2mm-0.5mm higher than the inner surface 6. In this embodiment, 0.5mm is selected.

[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, when the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the inner surface 6 of the first clip 2 and the outer surface of the elastic clip 9 are in contact. Therefore, the protruding rib 5 at the end of the first clip 2 is 0.5mm higher than the inner surface 6. That is, after assembly, the elastic clip 9 blocks the outward movement of the protruding rib 5 on the first clip 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a lever 13 is provided on one side of the elastic clip 9. When the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, the lever 13 is located outside the fan cover 1, so that the lever 13 can be driven by force to move the elastic clip 9 away from the protruding rib 5.

[0034] based on Figure 6Applying force to the lever 13 on the elastic clip 9 causes the elastic clip 9 to have an upward elastic deformation of greater than or equal to 0.5mm, thereby releasing the obstruction effect of the elastic clip 9 on the outward movement of the protruding rib 5. At this time, rotating the fan cover 1 in the reverse assembly direction allows the fan cover 1 to be removed.

[0035] The design of the lever 13 facilitates the deformation of the elastic clip 9 in confined spaces.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer side of the elastic clip 9 also includes a wedge-shaped surface to facilitate the assembly of the protruding rib 5 on the first clip 2.

[0037] Obviously, the wedge-shaped surface can also be configured as an arc-shaped surface, located on the side where the elastic clip 9 first contacts the first clip 2, so as to facilitate assembly.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the air guide frame 7 is provided with an annular limiting protrusion 8 near the center area. When the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, there is a gap of 0.4mm between the clip on the fan cover 1 and the annular limiting protrusion 8 along the outward direction from the center of the fan cover 1.

[0039] The gap between the side wall of the clip on the fan cover 1 and the side wall of the annular limiting protrusion 8 is used to prevent radial loosening of the fan cover 1. Preferably, when the air guide frame 7 and the fan cover 1 are assembled, there is a gap of 0.3mm-0.5mm between the clip on the fan cover 1 and the annular limiting protrusion 8 in the direction outward from the center of the fan cover 1.

[0040] To limit the radial misalignment of the fan cover 1 and guide the assembly, in this embodiment, a column 11 is provided on the air guide frame 7, and a corresponding sliding groove 4 is provided on the fan cover 1. When the column 11 and the sliding groove 4 on the fan cover 1 are engaged, the fan cover 1 can rotate relative to the air guide frame 7 to achieve assembly. When the fan cover 1 and the air guide frame 7 are assembled in place, the column 11 abuts against one end of the sliding groove 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the two ends of the slide 4 serve as the initial and final positions of the column 11 during the cooperation between the fan cover 1 and the air guide frame 7.

[0042] Furthermore, the column 11 is mounted on one of the limiting ribs 10 on the air guide frame 7.

[0043] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the groove 4 on the fan cover 1 extends through the fan cover 1 in the thickness direction, so that the position of the groove 4 where the column 11 is located can be directly observed during the assembly process.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
