[0024] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This application provides a casing assembly structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of low assembly efficiency between the side panel and the top cover. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a housing assembly structure, including a top cover 1 and a side plate 2. The top cover 1 is provided with a side flange 11, the side flange 11 is provided with a first buckle 12 and a first connecting hole 13 for bolts to pass through. The side plate 2 is provided with a second buckle 22 and a second connecting hole 23 for bolts to pass through. The first buckle 12 and the second buckle 22 are engaged and cooperated, and the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 23 are directly opposite each other.

[0029] By setting a first buckle 12 on the top cover 1 and a second buckle 22 on the side plate 2, the top cover 1 and the side plate 2 can be pre-assembled by the first buckle 12 and the second buckle 22 before the top cover 1 is bolted to the side plate. This allows the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 23 to coincide, which is beneficial for workers to quickly insert the bolts into the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 23. This improves the assembly speed of the housing assembly structure and solves the problem of low assembly efficiency between the side plate 2 and the top cover 1.

[0030] Please see Figures 2-4Specifically, in this embodiment, the side flange 11 is integrally formed on the edge of the top cover 1, and the side flange 11 is set perpendicular to the top cover 1 so that the top cover 1 defines the mounting groove. The top of the side plate 2 is integrally formed with a side edge 21, which is placed into the mounting groove. The first connecting hole 13 penetrates the side flange 11, and a boss is provided on the side edge 21. The second connecting hole 23 penetrates the boss, and the first buckle 12 and the second buckle 22 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0031] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, multiple first buckles 12 are provided, spaced apart. Multiple second buckles 22 are also provided, with each second buckle 22 corresponding to one of the first buckles 12. Multiple first connecting holes 13 and second connecting holes 23 are also provided, with each first buckle 12, first connecting hole 13, and second connecting hole 23 corresponding to one of the first buckles 12, ensuring that when the first buckle 12 and the second buckle 22 are engaged, the first connecting hole 13 is aligned with the second connecting hole 23.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 The distance W between the first buckle 12 and the first connecting hole 13 is 10mm ≤ W ≤ 50mm. In this embodiment, the value of W is 30mm. In some embodiments of this application, the value of W is 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, or 50mm. By ensuring that 10mm ≤ W ≤ 50mm, it is not only beneficial to reduce the collision between the first buckle 12 and the bolt, thus facilitating the operator to screw the bolt into the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 23, but also beneficial to reduce the excessive distance between the core axis of the first connecting hole 13 and the core axis of the second connecting hole 23 caused by the deformation of the top cover 1 or the side plate 2.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The first latch 12 includes a first protrusion, and the second latch 22 includes a second protrusion. A guide surface 24 is provided on the second protrusion, connecting the end face of the second protrusion and the side plate 2. The distance between the end face of the first protrusion and the end face of the second protrusion is L1, where 1.5mm ≤ L1 ≤ 3mm. In this embodiment, L1 is 2mm. In some embodiments of this application, L1 is any one of 1.5mm, 1.7mm, 1.9mm, 2.1mm, 2.3mm, 2.5mm, 2.7mm, and 3mm. By ensuring that 1.5mm ≤ L1 ≤ 3mm, it is not only beneficial to assemble and disassemble the top cover 1 and the side plate 2, but also to improve the stability of the connection between the top cover 1 and the side plate 2.

[0034] Please see Figure 4The distance between the side surface of the first boss and the side surface of the second boss is L2, where 0.5mm ≤ L2 ≤ 1.5mm. In this embodiment, the value of L2 is 1mm. In some embodiments of this application, the value of L2 is any one of 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, and 1.5mm. By ensuring that 0.5mm ≤ L2 ≤ 1.5mm, it is beneficial to position the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 23.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 The distance between the side of the first protrusion and the side plate 2 is L3, where 0.5mm ≤ L3 ≤ 1.5mm. In this embodiment, the value of L3 is 1mm. In some embodiments of this application, the value of L3 is any one of 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, and 1.5mm. By ensuring that 0.5mm ≤ L3 ≤ 1.5mm, it is beneficial to reduce the collision between the first buckle 12 and the side plate 2, as well as the collision between the second buckle 22 and the top cover 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the housing assembly structure also includes bolts, which pass through the first connecting hole 13 and are threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 23. By making the bolts threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 23, the top cover 1 and the side plate 2 can be fixedly assembled.

[0037] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the casing assembly structure described above. Since this air conditioner has the aforementioned casing assembly structure, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned casing assembly structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
