[0050] refer to Figure 1 The air inlet panel includes a panel body 10, an air inlet grille 20, and a filter 30. The filter 30 is located inside the air inlet grille 20, and the air inlet grille 20 covers the filter 30. The filter 30 is used to filter the airflow introduced through the air inlet grille 20. Since the filter 30 needs to be disassembled and cleaned regularly, the air inlet grille 20 needs to be disassembled first before the filter 30 can be disassembled and cleaned. Therefore, the connection and disassembly structure between the air inlet grille 20 and the panel body 10 needs to be simple and easy to disassemble.

[0051] Based on this, the present invention provides a connecting component that is applied to the air inlet panel, which facilitates the disassembly or installation of the air inlet grille 20 relative to the panel body 10, and makes it convenient to regularly disassemble and clean the filter screen 30.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first side of the air intake grille 20 is rotatably connected to the panel body 10, and the second side of the air intake grille 20 is connected by a connector 3 (see reference). Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is connected to the panel body 10. When it is necessary to disassemble and clean the filter screen 30, the connection between the second side of the air inlet grille 20 and the panel body 10 can be disconnected through the connector 3, so that the air inlet grille 20 can be rotated open relative to the panel body 10 to expose the filter screen 30 for disassembly.

[0053] The connecting component provided in this embodiment can be used not only on the air inlet panel, but also on other electrical appliances that require easy disassembly, or on industrial equipment.

[0054] The structure of the connecting component is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] refer to Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes a first component 1, a second component 2, and a connector 3. The first component 1 can be the panel body 10 of the air inlet panel or the air inlet grille 20, and correspondingly, the second component 2 can be the air inlet grille 20 of the air inlet panel or the panel body 10.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first component 1 is provided with a slot 11.

[0057] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The second component 2 is provided with a limiting component 21.

[0058] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The connector 3 is provided with a limiting hole 31. The connector 3 is detachably provided on the second component 2, and the limiting member 21 passes through the limiting hole 31. The connector 3 is configured to be movable relative to the second component 2 so that the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11 (see reference). Figure 11 Or it can be detached from slot 11 (see reference). Figure 12 ).

[0059] In the above embodiment, the connector 3 is detachably mounted on the second component 2. When the connector 3 is mounted on the second component 2, the connector 3 and the second component 2 are connected by the limiting member 21 inserted into the limiting hole 31. The installation and removal of the connector 3 can be completed without screws or other components, facilitating replacement or adjustment. The connector 3 is movable relative to the second component 2. During the movement of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2, the limiting member 21 passes through the limiting hole 31 and moves along the limiting hole 31, guiding the movement of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2 through the limiting hole 31, making the movement path of the connector 3 controllable, and improving the smoothness and controllability of the connection action. When the connector 3 moves relative to the second component 2, and the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are connected by the connector 3; when the connector 3 moves relative to the second component 2, and the first end of the connector 3 is pulled out of the slot 11, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are disassembled. The connection and disassembly of the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be achieved through the movable connector 3, without the need for complex springs or buttons, etc. The structure is simple, the connection and disassembly are convenient, and the reliability is high.

[0060] Figure 8 The front of connector 3 is shown. Figure 9 The back side of the connector 3 is shown. When the connector 3 is connected to the second component 2, the back side of the connector 3 is opposite to the second component 2.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The second component 2 is also provided with a positioning groove 223, for reference. Figure 9 The connector 3 is also provided with a positioning block 321, which is configured to be located in the positioning groove 223 when the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11. (Refer to...) Figure 10 .

[0062] In the above embodiment, the positioning block 321 is located on the back of the connector 3. By providing a positioning groove 223 on the second component 2 and a positioning block 321 on the connector 3, and by positioning the block 321 within the positioning groove 223 when the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11, the reliability and positioning accuracy of the connection are further improved, based on the connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2 via the connector 3. Furthermore, when the connector 3 moves relative to the second component 2 until the first end is inserted into the slot 11 and the connection with the first component 1 is completed and locked, the positioning block 321 is simultaneously embedded in the positioning groove 223, forming further positioning. This reduces the possibility of displacement or loosening of the connector 3 under vibration, impact, or external force, and reduces the possibility of the first end accidentally dislodging from the slot 11, significantly enhancing the stability and safety of the first component 1 and the second component 2 in the connected state.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The positioning groove 223 is located on the first side of the moving direction of the connector 3 and is provided with a first support 221. The positioning block 321 is configured to disengage from the positioning groove 223 and move along the first support 221 during the process of the connector 3 moving away from the slot 11 relative to the second component 2.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the first and second sides of the positioning groove 223 are opposite sides, and the arrangement direction of the positioning groove 223 from the first side to the second side is parallel to the moving direction of the connector 3. The positioning groove 223 has a first support portion 221 on the first side of the moving direction of the connector 3. This structural configuration ensures that during the process of the connector 3 moving relative to the second component 2 and disengaging its first end from the slot 11, the positioning block 321 first disengages from the positioning groove 223 and then moves along the surface of the first support portion 221. The first support portion 221 provides guidance and support for the positioning block 321 during its disengagement from the positioning groove 223, ensuring a smooth and controllable movement of the connector 3. Simultaneously, the first support portion 221 allows the positioning block 321 to maintain contact with the second component 2 after disengaging from the positioning groove 223, improving the continuity and reliability of the movement process, reducing the likelihood of the connector 3 shaking or misaligning during unlocking, and enabling the positioning block 321 to smoothly disengage from the positioning groove 223, achieving a fast and smooth unlocking operation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 223 is provided with a second support 222 on the second side of the moving direction of the connector 3. The height of the second support 222 is higher than the height of the first support 221. The positioning block 321 also abuts against the second support 222 when it is located in the positioning groove 223.

[0066] In the above embodiment, by providing a second support 222 on the second side of the positioning groove 223 in the moving direction of the connector 3, and the height of the second support 222 being higher than the height of the first support 221, and by abutting against the second support 222 when the positioning block 321 is in the positioning groove 223, the positioning and locking performance of the connector 3 can be improved, and the stability of the connector 3 can be enhanced. When the connector 3 is in the locked state, that is, when its first end is inserted into the slot 11 and the positioning block 321 is embedded in the positioning groove 223, the positioning block 321 is not only supported by the positioning groove 223 below, but also abuts against the second support 222 at the higher position, thereby being clamped and limited in the front-back direction, reducing the possibility of the connector 3 loosening, jumping or vibrating displacement. Meanwhile, the second support 222, as an additional load-bearing structure, can form an asymmetrical stepped support structure together with the first support 221. During the unlocking and movement of the connector 3, the positioning block 321 first disengages from the second support 222 and then moves along the first support 221. This transition process makes the force distribution of the unlocking action more gradual, avoids stress concentration, and ensures the stability of the movement.

[0067] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the first support portion 221 forms a support plane, and the side of the first support portion 221 away from the positioning groove 223 is connected to the support plane and extends downward and outward at an angle.

[0068] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly further includes a first support member 22, which is configured as a sheet structure, and the length extension direction of the first support member 22 is consistent with the movement direction of the connecting member 3. A positioning groove 223 is provided on the first support member 22, and a first support portion 221 and a second support portion 222 are formed on the first support member 22.

[0069] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The connector 3 is also provided with a cantilever part 32, and the positioning block 321 is provided on the cantilever part 32.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the cantilever portion 32, as a structure with one end fixed and the other end freely extending, provides an independent mounting base for the positioning block 321, enabling it to be accurately aligned and inserted into the positioning groove 223, thus improving the reliability of the positioning fit. Simultaneously, the cantilever portion 32 itself possesses a certain elastic deformation capability. During the fit between the positioning block 321 and the positioning groove 223, especially when there are minor deviations in assembly alignment or when subjected to impact, the cantilever portion 32 can generate moderate elastic deflection, absorbing assembly stress and reducing damage or jamming caused by rigid collisions, thereby improving the fault tolerance and smoothness of the connector 3 assembly. Furthermore, during the unlocking process of the connector 3, as the positioning block 321 disengages from the positioning groove 223 and moves along the first support portion 221, the free end of the cantilever portion 32 can undergo elastic deformation, reducing movement resistance and improving the smoothness and reliability of the unlocking action.

[0071] In some embodiments, the positioning block 321 is disposed on the back side of the cantilever portion 32. Furthermore, the positioning block 321 is disposed at the free end of the cantilever portion 32.

[0072] Optionally, the cantilever portion 32 includes cantilever ribs. The positioning block 321 includes positioning ribs.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 The limiting hole 31 is constructed as an elongated hole, and the length extension direction of the limiting hole 31 is consistent with the movement direction of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2.

[0074] In the above embodiments, the limiting member 21 can move along its length within the limiting hole 31, providing a clearer guide path and travel range for the movement of the connecting member 3. This improves the smoothness and controllability of the connecting member 3's movement and reduces the occurrence of deflection or jamming. Simultaneously, the elongated limiting hole 31 allows the connecting member 3 to continuously adjust its position within a certain range, facilitating assembly alignment, compensating for manufacturing and assembly tolerances between components, and enabling smooth locking and unlocking actions through translational operation, thus improving operational convenience and connection reliability. Therefore, through the cooperation of the limiting member 21 and the elongated limiting hole 31, the detachable installation and guided movement of the connecting member 3 on the second component 2 are achieved, providing a fundamental guarantee for a stable, rapid, and repeatable connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2.

[0075] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The limiting member 21 includes a first limiting part 211 and a second limiting part 212.

[0076] The first end of the first limiting part 211 is connected to the second component 2, and the second end of the first limiting part 211 passes through the limiting hole 31.

[0077] The second limiting part 212 is provided at the second end of the first limiting part 211 and extends outward to the limiting hole 31, abutting against the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31.

[0078] In the above embodiment, a second limiting part 212 is provided at the end of the first limiting part 211 that passes through the limiting hole 31. The second limiting part 212 extends outward from the limiting hole 31 and abuts against the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31. This structure achieves reliable limiting and anti-detachment of the connector 3 on the second component 2. The second limiting part 212 extends outward from the limiting hole 31, and the extension direction of the second limiting part 212 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connector 3.

[0079] The first limiting part 211 serves as the main support structure, penetrating the limiting hole 31 to guide the movement of the connector 3, ensuring that its movement direction is consistent with the design path. The second limiting part 212 serves as a stop structure, with a size larger than the width of the limiting hole 31. It abuts against the upper surface of the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31 from the outside of the limiting hole 31, forming a mechanical block to prevent the connector 3 from accidentally coming off the limiting part 21 during movement or when subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the safety and integrity of the connection structure under dynamic working conditions.

[0080] In some embodiments, during the movement of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2, the first limiting part 211 moves along the limiting hole 31, and the second limiting part 212 moves along the upper surface of the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31, and the upper surface of the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31 forms a guide surface.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31 directly contacts the second limiting part 212 and guides the movement of the second limiting part 212, naturally forming a guide surface. This structure ensures that the second limiting part 212 remains in contact with the upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31 during the movement of the connector 3, thereby constraining the movement of the connector 3 vertically. This reduces the jumping or loosening of the connector 3 in the vertical dimension perpendicular to the direction of movement, ensuring a smooth and wobbly movement. Simultaneously, the upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31, as a guide surface, not only supports the second limiting part 212 but also transmits the motion load through continuous surface contact, reducing local stress concentration. Furthermore, the upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31, as a guide surface, makes the movement trajectory of the connector 3 more precise and controllable, reducing the possibility of misalignment or jamming caused by assembly deviations or external force interference, further improving the reliability of the locking and unlocking actions of the connector 3.

[0082] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 The side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31 is provided with a notch 312 at the end away from the slot 11, and the notch 312 is connected to the limiting hole 31.

[0083] In the above embodiment, by providing a notch 312 communicating with the limiting hole 31 at the end of the side wall 311 away from the slot 11 (away from the first end of the connector 3), this structure provides a convenient entry channel for the installation and removal of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2. When the connector 3 needs to be assembled onto the second component 2, the second limiting part 212 of the limiting member 21 can be aligned with the notch 312 and inserted, so that the first limiting part 211 passes through the limiting hole 31. Then, the connector 3 is moved along the length direction of the limiting hole 31, so that the second limiting part 212 abuts against the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31 and enters the normal working position (including the first end of the connector 3 being inserted into the slot 11 to lock or disengage from the slot 11 to unlock). Conversely, when it is necessary to remove the connector 3 from the second component 2, the second limiting part 212 can be moved to the position corresponding to the notch 312, so that the limiting member 21 can be removed from the notch, and the connector 3 can be quickly removed.

[0084] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 Two sets of limiting members 21 are arranged opposite each other on the second component 2, each set including at least one limiting member 21. Specifically, the spacing between the two sets of limiting members 21 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting member 3. Each limiting member 21 in each set is spaced apart along the moving direction of the connecting member 3. (Reference) Figure 8 Two sets of limiting holes 31 are provided opposite to each other on the connector 3, and each set of limiting holes 31 includes at least one limiting hole 31. Specifically, the spacing direction of the two sets of limiting holes 31 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connector 3. Each limiting hole 31 in each set of limiting holes 31 is spaced apart along the moving direction of the connector 3. Each limiting member 21 is correspondingly inserted into a limiting hole 31.

[0085] In the above embodiment, by arranging two sets of limiting members 21 opposite each other on the second component 2, each set including at least one limiting member 21, and simultaneously arranging two sets of limiting holes 31 opposite each other on the connecting member 3, each set including at least one limiting hole 31, and each limiting member 21 correspondingly passing through a limiting hole 31, this symmetrical arrangement significantly improves the stability and guiding accuracy of the connecting member 3 when moving relative to the second component 2. The corresponding cooperation between the two sets of limiting members 21 and the two sets of limiting holes 31 forms multi-point support and constraint in space, which can prevent the connecting member 3 from twisting, tilting, or unilateral jamming during movement, and improve the smoothness of the connecting member 3 moving in the predetermined direction. When the connecting member 3 is locked or unlocked, the limiting members 21 and the limiting holes 31 on both sides work together to distribute the load more evenly, reduce local stress concentration and wear risk, and improve the smoothness of movement and structural durability. Meanwhile, the symmetrical structure enhances the stiffness of the overall connection system, maintaining good alignment even under eccentric loads or external vibrations, reducing motion stagnation or fit failure caused by uneven force distribution.

[0086] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The second component 2 has two sets of limiting members 21 arranged opposite to each other, each set of limiting members 21 including two limiting members 21 spaced apart. The second component 2 is also provided with two second support members 23, one of which connects to two limiting members 21 in one set of limiting members 21, and the other of which connects to two limiting members 21 in another set of limiting members 21.

[0087] refer to Figure 8 Two sets of limiting holes 31 are provided opposite to each other on the connector 3, and each set of limiting holes 31 includes two limiting holes 31 that are spaced apart.

[0088] refer to Figure 9 Two positioning portions 34 are provided at intervals on the back of the connector 3. When the connector 3 is installed on the second component 2, the two positioning portions 34 respectively abut against the two second support members 23. The second support members 23 provide further support for the connector 3.

[0089] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The second component 2 is also provided with a positioning groove 223, which is located between the two sets of limiting members 21. (Reference) Figure 8 and Figure 9 The connector 3 is also provided with a positioning block 321, which is located between two sets of limiting holes 31. The positioning block 321 is configured to be located in the positioning groove 223 when the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11.

[0090] In the above embodiment, by providing a positioning groove 223 on the second component 2 located between the two sets of limiting members 21, and providing a positioning block 321 that cooperates with it on the connector 3, when the connector 3 moves to the point where its first end is inserted into the slot 11 of the first component 1 to complete the connection and locking, the positioning block 321 is simultaneously embedded in the positioning groove 223. This structure further realizes the precise positioning and anti-loosening of the connector 3 in the connection and locking position based on the original double-sided limiting guide. The cooperation between the two sets of limiting members 21 and the two sets of limiting holes 31 provides good guidance and anti-torsion capability for the movement of the connector 3, while the cooperation between the positioning block 321 and the positioning groove 223 forms a rigid positioning in the connection and locking position, which can reduce the slight displacement or backing of the connector 3 under vibration, impact or external force, prevent the first end of the connector 3 from accidentally disengaging from the slot 11, and improve the stability and safety of the connector 3 in the connection and locking state. Meanwhile, the positioning groove 223 is set between the two sets of limiting members 21, so that the positioning block 321 is located in the middle area of ​​the connector 3, forming a symmetrical and balanced force layout with the limiting structures on both sides, which further suppresses the bending or deflection tendency of the connector 3 under load, and improves the rigidity and load uniformity of the overall structure.

[0091] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The connector 3 is also provided with a cantilever part 32, which is located between two sets of limiting holes 31, and the positioning block 321 is provided on the cantilever part 32.

[0092] In the above embodiment, the middle region of the connector 3 is hollowed out, and the cantilever portion 32 is disposed in the hollowed-out region. The positioning block 321 is located on the back of the cantilever portion 32 and is disposed at the free end of the cantilever portion 32. The free end of the cantilever portion 32 is close to the first end of the connector 3 relative to the fixed end.

[0093] In the above embodiment, by providing a cantilever portion 32 located between two sets of limiting holes 31 on the connector 3, and placing the positioning block 321 on the cantilever portion 32, this structure achieves flexible integration of the positioning function with the main body of the connector 3. The cantilever portion 32, as a structure with one fixed end and an elastically deformable free end, is located between the two sets of limiting holes 31, forming a symmetrical layout with the limiting structures on both sides. This not only makes reasonable use of the central area space of the connector 3, but also allows the positioning block 321 to accurately align and extend into the positioning groove 223 on the second component 2 located between the two sets of limiting members 21, improving the reliability of the positioning fit. Simultaneously, the elastic characteristics of the cantilever portion 32 endow the positioning block 321 with a certain deformation capacity. During assembly, when there is a slight alignment deviation between the positioning block 321 and the positioning groove 223, the cantilever portion 32 can generate moderate deflection, absorbing assembly stress and achieving a "self-alignment" function. This reduces jamming or damage caused by rigid collisions, improving the smoothness and fault tolerance of the assembly. During the process of the connector 3 moving to the locking position, the cantilever 32 can be elastically compressed or bent when the positioning block 321 enters the positioning groove 223 to form a stable positioning state; while during the unlocking process, the elastic deformation of the cantilever 32 helps to overcome the frictional resistance of the mating surface, ensuring that the positioning block 321 smoothly disengages from the positioning groove 223 and ensuring the reliability of the unlocking action.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second end of the connector 3 is provided with an extension portion 33, which extends in a direction away from the first end of the connector 3, and the extension portion 33 is provided with a groove 331.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the second end of the connector 3 is disposed opposite to the first end of the connector 3. By providing an extension 33 extending away from the first end at the second end of the connector 3, and providing a groove 331 on the extension 33, the groove 331 can be used to cooperate with tools (such as screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) to facilitate the application of push and pull force to the connector 3 to achieve locking or unlocking operations. Especially in situations where space is limited or manual operation is inconvenient, the groove 331 can serve as a dedicated force application point, improving the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first end to the second end of the connector 3 may be located between the first component 1 and the second component 2, while the extension 33 is located on the outer side between the first component 1 and the second component 2. That is, the extension 33 extends outward from the outer side between the first component 1 and the second component 2. (Refer to...) Figure 6 This facilitates the operation of the movable connector 3 of the extended part 33.

[0097] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first side of the second component 2 is rotatably connected to the first component 1, and the second side of the second component 2 is provided with a limiting member 21.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the first side and the second side of the second component 2 are two sides arranged opposite to each other. By rotatably connecting the first side of the second component 2 to the first component 1, and providing a limiting member 21 on the second side of the second component 2, and providing a connecting member 3 in the area where the limiting member 21 is located, this structure realizes the connection relationship between the first component 1 and the second component 2 of "rotatable connection at one end and detachable connection at the other end".

[0099] In the above embodiment, the first side of the second component 2 forms a rotatable connection structure with the first component 1, allowing the second component 2 to rotate open relative to the first component 1 around the hinge axis, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of components such as the filter screen 30. The second side of the second component 2 is provided with a limiting member 21, which engages with a limiting hole 31 on the connecting member 3, allowing the connecting member 3 to be movably and detachably mounted on the second component 2. The first end of the connecting member 3 is inserted into a slot 11 on the first component 1 to achieve a locking and positioning connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2. This structure sets the rotatable hinge point and the detachable locking point on opposite sides of the second component 2, forming a stable connection structure. Simultaneously, this structure facilitates the second component 2 to rotate open around the hinge point on the first side in the unlocked state, facilitating separation or maintenance between the first component 1 and the second component 2. After closing, the connecting member 3 moves to lock, achieving a quick connection, combining structural stability and ease of operation.

[0100] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The area on the first component 1 where the second component 2 is mounted is the mounting area. Two first hinge portions 12 are spaced apart on the first side of the mounting area, and two slots 11 are spaced apart on the second side of the mounting area. (Reference) Figure 4 The second component 2 has two second hinge parts 24 spaced apart on its first side, and two areas for installing the connector 3 are spaced apart on its second side as connection areas, with a limiter 21 provided in each connection area.

[0101] The two second hinge portions 24 of the second component 2 are respectively hinged to the two first hinge portions 12 of the first component 1. A connector 3 is provided in each of the two connection areas on the second side of the second component 2. The first end of each connector 3 is inserted into a slot 11 of the first component 1 to realize the connection and locking between the second component 2 and the first component 1.

[0102] refer to Figure 7 Two clearance grooves are provided in the connection area on the second side of the second component 2. One clearance groove allows the first end of the connector 3 to pass through and be inserted into the slot 11 of the first component 1. The other clearance groove allows the extension 33 provided on the second end of the connector 3 to pass through, so that the extension 33 can be operated to push the connector 3 inward to realize the connection and locking between the second component 2 and the first component 1, or the extension 33 can be operated to pull the connector 3 outward to realize the connection and locking between the second component 2 and the first component 1.

[0103] Some embodiments of this utility model also provide an air inlet panel, which includes the connecting components described above. The first component 1 of the connecting component is the panel body 10 of the air inlet panel, and the second component 2 of the connecting component is the air inlet grille 20 of the air inlet panel. Alternatively, the first component 1 of the connecting component is the air inlet grille 20 of the air inlet panel, and the second component 2 of the connecting component is the panel body 10 of the air inlet panel.

[0104] In the above embodiments, the panel body 10 of the air inlet panel is the first component 1 or the second component 2 of the connecting assembly, and the air inlet grille 20 of the air inlet panel is the second component 2 or the first component 1 of the connecting assembly. The panel body 10 and the air inlet grille 20 are easy to connect and disassemble, and have the beneficial effect of the connecting assembly.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first side of the air intake grille 20 is rotatably connected to the panel body 10, and the second side of the air intake grille 20 is provided with a limiting member 21 and a connecting member 3. The limiting member 21 is fixedly disposed on the air intake grille 20, and the connecting member 3 is detachably connected to the air intake grille 20. The connecting member 3 can move relative to the air intake grille 20 so that the first end of the connecting member 3 is inserted into the slot 11 on the panel body 10 to lock the connection between the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10, or so that the first end of the connecting member 3 is disengaged from the slot 11 to disassemble the second side of the air intake grille 20 from the panel body 10.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the first side of the air inlet grille 20 is rotatably connected to the panel body 10, and the second side of the air inlet grille 20 is connected to the panel body 10 via the connector 3. When it is necessary to disassemble and clean the filter screen 30, the connection between the second side of the air inlet grille 20 and the panel body 10 can be released via the connector 3, allowing the air inlet grille 20 to rotate and open relative to the panel body 10, exposing the filter screen 30 for disassembly.

[0107] In some embodiments, the air intake panel further includes a filter 30 located inside the air intake grille 20 for filtering the airflow introduced through the air intake grille 20.

[0108] In some embodiments, the air inlet panel further includes an air guide plate 40, which is disposed on the panel body 10 at a position away from the air inlet grille 20. Airflow enters the air inlet panel from the air inlet grille 20, is filtered by the filter screen 30, and then exchanges heat with the heat exchanger of the air conditioner. After being heated or cooled, the airflow flows out through the air guide plate 40.

[0109] Some embodiments of this utility model also provide an air conditioner, which includes the above-described air intake panel.

[0110] In the above embodiments, the air conditioner includes the air intake panel of any of the above embodiments, and accordingly has the beneficial effects of the air intake panel.

[0111] The following is based on the appendix Figures 1 to 12 Detailed description of some specific embodiments of the connecting components and air inlet panel.

[0112] refer to Figure 1 The air inlet panel includes a panel body 10, an air inlet grille 20, a filter 30, and an air guide plate 40. The panel body 10 is constructed as a flat plate, with the air inlet grille 20 and air guide plate 40 spaced apart on it. The filter 30 is located inside the air inlet grille 20, that is, on the side of the air inlet grille 20 furthest from the user. After the filter 30 is installed inside the panel body 10, the air inlet grille 20 is installed, covering the filter 30. The air inlet grille 20 guides airflow into the panel body 10. After being filtered by the filter 30, the airflow exchanges heat with the air conditioner's heat exchanger, and after being heated or cooled, flows out through the air guide plate 40, achieving heating or cooling.

[0113] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The area where the air inlet grille 20 is set on the panel body 10 is the installation area. Two first hinge parts 12 are provided at intervals on the first side of the installation area, and two slots 11 are provided at intervals on the second side of the installation area.

[0114] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The air intake grille 20 has two second hinge portions 24 spaced apart on its first side, which are rotatably connected to two first hinge portions 12 respectively. Optionally, the second hinge portion 24 includes a latch, and the first hinge portion 12 includes a hinge groove. The air intake grille 20 has two connection areas spaced apart on its second side, each of which is fixedly provided with a limiting member 21 and a detachably mounted connector 3. The first side of the air intake grille 20 is rotatably connected to the panel body 10, allowing the air intake grille 20 to rotate open or close relative to the panel body 10 around the hinge axis.

[0115] After the air intake grille 20 is rotated and closed relative to the panel body 10, the connector 3 can be moved towards the slot 11 so that the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11, thereby achieving the connection and locking between the second side of the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10.

[0116] During the process of moving the connector 3 away from the slot 11, the first end of the connector 3 can be disengaged from the slot 11, the connection between the second side of the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10 can be released, and the air intake grille 20 can be rotated open relative to the panel body 10 to expose the filter screen 30 inside the air intake grille 20, so that the filter screen 30 can be disassembled or installed.

[0117] refer to Figure 5 The connector 3 is detachably provided on the second side of the air intake grille 20. The first end of the connector 3 is located between the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10. The second end of the connector 3 is the end opposite to the first end. The second end of the connector 3 is provided with an extension 33, which is located outside the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10.

[0118] The extension 33 is an operating part. The connector 3 can be moved inward by means of a tool or manually so that the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11 provided on the panel body 10, thereby locking the second side of the air intake grille 20 to the panel body 10. Alternatively, the connector 3 can be moved outward by means of a tool or manually so that the first end of the connector 3 is disengaged from the slot 11 of the panel body 10, thereby unlocking the second side of the air intake grille 20 from the panel body 10. At this time, the air intake grille 20 can be rotated to open the air intake grille 20 and expose the filter screen 30.

[0119] refer to Figure 6 The outer extension 33 is provided with a groove 331, which can be used to cooperate with tools (such as screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) to facilitate the application of push and pull force to the connector 3 to achieve locking or unlocking operations. Especially in situations where space is limited or manual operation is inconvenient, the groove 331 can be used as a dedicated force application point to improve the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0120] refer to Figure 7 Two sets of limiting members 21 are spaced apart in the connecting area on the second side of the second component 2. The spacing direction of the two sets of limiting members 21 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting member 3. Each set of limiting members 21 includes two limiting members 21 spaced apart, and the spacing direction of the two limiting members 21 is consistent with the moving direction of the connecting member 3.

[0121] The limiting member 21 includes a first limiting portion 211 and a second limiting portion 212. The first end of the first limiting portion 211 is connected to the second component 2, and the second end of the first limiting portion 211 is used to pass through the limiting hole 31. The second limiting portion 212 is provided at the second end of the first limiting portion 211 and extends outward from the limiting hole 31 to abut against the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31. The surface of the second limiting portion 212 that abuts against the side wall 311 of the limiting hole 31 is the limiting surface.

[0122] The second side connection area of ​​the second component 2 is also provided with two second support members 23, one of which connects to two of the limiting members 21 in a set of limiting members 21; the other of which connects to two of the limiting members 21 in another set of limiting members 21. The second support member 23 is constructed as a rib plate to provide support for the connector 3.

[0123] A first support member 22 is provided between the two sets of limiting holes 31. The first support member 22 is constructed as a sheet structure, and its length extension direction is consistent with the moving direction of the connector 3. On the first support member 22, a first support portion 221 is provided on the first side of the positioning groove 223, and a second support portion 222 is provided on the second side of the positioning groove 223. The first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are spaced apart along the moving direction of the connector 3. The height of the second support portion 222 is higher than the height of the first support portion 221. The positioning block 321 abuts against the second support portion 222 when it is in the positioning groove 223. During the process of the connector 3 moving away from the slot 11 relative to the second component 2, the positioning block 321 disengages from the positioning groove 223 and moves along the first support portion 221.

[0124] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The connector 3 is configured to be movable relative to the second component 2, such that its first end can be inserted into or disengaged from the slot 11. The connector 3 is constructed as a square structure. The connector 3 may have a certain curvature to match the curvature of the air intake grille 20. For example: (see front view of connector 3) Figure 8The middle region of the connector 3 is recessed towards the rear. Two sets of limiting holes 31 are arranged opposite each other on the connector 3, with the spacing between the two sets of limiting holes 31 perpendicular to the moving direction of the connector 3. Each set of limiting holes 31 includes two spaced-apart limiting holes 31, with the spacing between the two limiting holes 31 consistent with the moving direction of the connector 3. A limiting member 21 passes through each limiting hole 31. The limiting hole 31 is constructed as an elongated hole, with its length extending in the same direction as the moving direction of the connector 3 relative to the second component 2. A notch 312 is provided at the end of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31 away from the slot 11, and the notch 312 communicates with the limiting hole 31. The upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31 abuts against the limiting surface of the second limiting part 212, and the upper surface of the sidewall 311 of the limiting hole 31 forms a guide surface that guides the movement of the connector 3.

[0125] The connector 3 has a hollowed-out area between the two sets of limiting holes 31. This hollowed-out area has a cantilever portion 32, and the free end of the cantilever portion 32 has a positioning block 321. Optionally, the positioning block 321 is a positioning rib. The length extension direction of the cantilever portion 32 is consistent with the movement direction of the connector 3, and the free end of the cantilever portion 32 is closer to the slot 11 than the fixed end. Optionally, the cantilever portion 32 includes a cantilever rib.

[0126] Figure 8 The front of connector 3 is shown. Figure 9 The back side of connector 3 is shown. When connector 3 is installed on the second component 2, the back side of connector 3 is the side opposite to the second component 2. A positioning block 321 is provided at the location of the free end of cantilever 32 on the back side (see reference). Figure 9 The cantilever portion 32 is elastic and is used to cooperate with the first support portion 221 of the first support member 22 of the air intake grille 20. The positioning block 321 is adapted to the positioning groove 223 of the first support member 22 to prevent the connector 3 from moving.

[0127] The back of the connector 3 is also provided with two positioning parts 34, which are located on the two side edges of the connector 3 respectively. The arrangement direction of the two positioning parts 34 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction from the first end to the second end of the connector 3. The length extension direction of the positioning parts 34 is consistent with the moving direction of the connector 3. When the connector 3 is provided on the second component 2, the two positioning parts 34 respectively abut against the two second support members 23.

[0128] The second end of the connector 3 is an end disposed opposite to the first end of the connector 3. The second end of the connector 3 has an extension 33 that extends away from the first end of the connector 3. A groove 331 is provided on the back side of the extension 33. (See reference...) Figure 9 .

[0129] The installation and disassembly method of connector 3 and second component 2 is as follows: When connector 3 needs to be assembled onto second component 2, the second limiting part 212 of limiting part 21 can be aligned with the notch 312 of connector 3 and inserted, so that the first limiting part 211 passes through the limiting hole 31. Then, connector 3 is moved along the length direction of limiting hole 31, so that the second limiting part 212 abuts against the side wall 311 of limiting hole 31 and enters the normal working position (including the first end of connector 3 being inserted into slot 11 to lock or disengage from slot 11 to unlock). Conversely, when connector 3 needs to be removed from second component 2, the second limiting part 212 can be moved to the corresponding position of notch 312, so that limiting part 21 can be disengaged from notch, and connector 3 can be quickly removed.

[0130] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the connector 3 connects the air intake grille 20 and the panel body 10: the connector 3 is assembled with the air intake grille 20, the cantilever portion 32 on the connector 3 is elastic and is in close contact with the first support portion 221, and the second support portion 222 is higher than the first support portion 221. The free end of the cantilever portion 32 abuts against the second support portion 222. At the same time, the positioning block 321 on the cantilever portion 32 is inserted into the positioning groove 223 on the first support portion 22. Under the elastic force of the cantilever portion 32, the connector 3 is promoted to be in a fixed position. At this time, the first end of the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 11 of the panel body 10, and the air intake grille 20 is in a locked state.

[0131] refer to Figure 12 When force is applied outward (in the direction of the arrow) at the groove 331 of the connector 3, the first end of the connector 3 disengages from the slot 11 of the panel body 10. At the same time, the positioning block 321 moves with the connector 3, disengages from the positioning groove 223, and moves along the first support 221. At this time, the second side of the air inlet grille 20 separates from the panel body 10, and the air inlet grille 20 can rotate and open relative to the panel body 10 around the hinge axis of the first side, exposing the filter screen 30 so that the filter screen 30 can be removed.

[0132] The connecting component provided by this utility model has a simple structure. It can effectively clamp the air intake grille by simply cooperating with the structure of the connecting part and the air intake grille, and at the same time, it is convenient for users or after-sales personnel to disassemble and assemble the air intake grille.
