Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a vertical air conditioner casing and a vertical air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of air conditioners, users not only have higher requirements for the performance of air conditioners, but also for their appearance. For floor-standing air conditioners, the outer casing includes a front panel and a back panel that can be interlocked. The front panel includes a panel frame and a front panel and a lower trim panel, which are located above the lower trim panel and are both fixed to the panel frame. When assembling the front panel with the panel frame, there is a gap between the edge of the front panel and the panel frame, which needs to be covered with a decorative strip to ensure the overall aesthetics of the floor-standing air conditioner. The decorative strip is located around the upper end and both sides of the front panel, with its lower end aligning with the upper end of the lower trim panel.

[0003] The decorative strip is injection molded, resulting in a relatively large height. Furthermore, the thermal expansion and contraction during injection molding can cause significant processing errors, making it impossible to guarantee the height accuracy of the decorative strip. The aforementioned structural design places high demands on the processing precision of the decorative strip; otherwise, the gap between the decorative strip and the lower trim panel may be too large, affecting the aesthetics, or the gap may be too small, causing interference and making installation impossible.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the injection molding precision of decorative strips has a significant impact on the assembly effect of vertical air conditioners has become an important technical problem for those skilled in the art to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a vertical air conditioner housing and a vertical air conditioner, which solves the defect in related technologies where the injection molding precision of decorative strips has a significant impact on the assembly effect of vertical air conditioners.

[0006] This utility model provides a vertical air conditioner housing, comprising: Panel frame; A front panel and a lower trim panel are disposed on the panel frame. The front panel and the lower trim panel are distributed vertically along the panel frame. The lower trim panel is connected to the panel frame by a first connecting structure.

A decorative strip is disposed between the front panel and the panel frame. The decorative strip extends along the edge of the front panel, and both ends of the decorative strip are abutted against the upper end of the lower trim panel.

[0007] This configuration allows for the vertical adjustment of the lower trim panel along the panel frame when installing the front panel, lower trim panel, and decorative strip onto the panel frame. The position of the lower trim panel can be adjusted based on the lower end position of the decorative strip, ensuring that both ends of the decorative strip align with the upper end of the lower trim panel. This avoids large gaps between the two ends of the decorative strip and the upper end of the lower trim panel, or interference between the ends of the decorative strip and the upper end of the lower trim panel. It also eliminates the influence of injection molding precision on the assembly effect, ensuring the assembly quality of the vertical air conditioner panel and resolving the issue in related technologies where the injection molding precision of the decorative strip significantly impacts the assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner.

[0008] According to the present utility model, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided between the two ends of the decorative strip. The connecting plate extends laterally along the panel frame, and the two ends of the connecting plate are connected to the two ends of the decorative strip one-to-one. The upper end of the lower trim panel overlaps with the connecting plate, the connecting plate is located on the side of the lower trim panel closer to the panel frame, and the upper end of the lower trim panel is engaged with the connecting plate.

[0009] This design creates an assembly connection between the decorative strip and the lower trim panel. The snap-fit ​​structure further limits the assembly gap between the decorative strip and the lower trim panel, thereby improving the assembly effect of the decorative strip and the lower trim panel within the panel frame.

[0010] According to the present invention, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided, wherein the decorative strip is connected to the panel frame via a second connecting structure, and both the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure include: A snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​hole and a snap-fit ​​part, wherein the snap-fit ​​part engages with the snap-fit ​​hole to restrict relative movement between the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​hole along the longitudinal direction of the panel frame, and the size of the snap-fit ​​hole is larger than the size of the snap-fit ​​part along the vertical direction of the panel frame; A fastening assembly includes a fastener, a threaded hole, and an oblong hole, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the panel frame, and the fastener is adapted to pass through the oblong hole at any position and be threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0011] This design, combined with the snap-fit ​​and fastening components, allows for adjustable mounting positions of the trim strip and lower trim panel on the panel frame, offering strong adaptability. Furthermore, after adjusting the mounting positions of the trim strip and lower trim panel, it ensures their stability on the panel frame, preventing wobbling and reducing noise.

[0012] According to the present invention, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided, wherein the buckle assembly of the first connecting structure is a first buckle assembly, the buckle part of the first buckle assembly is disposed on the lower trim panel, the buckle hole part of the first buckle assembly is disposed on the panel frame, the first buckle assembly is provided in two rows, the two rows of the first buckle assemblies are distributed at a horizontal interval along the panel frame, and each row of the first buckle assemblies is distributed at a vertical interval along the panel frame, and the buckling direction of each first buckle assembly is consistent. And / or, the buckle assembly of the second connection structure is a second buckle assembly, the buckle portion of the second buckle assembly is disposed on the decorative strip, the buckle hole portion of the second buckle assembly is disposed on the panel frame, and multiple second buckle assemblies are provided, each second buckle assembly is distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the decorative strip, and the snapping direction of each second buckle assembly is consistent.

[0013] This design improves the connection reliability between the lower trim panel and the panel frame, as well as the connection reliability between the decorative strip and the panel frame. It also ensures the consistency of the assembly gap between the lower trim panel and the panel frame along the vertical direction of the panel frame, and the consistency of the assembly gap between the decorative strip and the panel frame along the vertical direction of the panel frame.

[0014] According to the present invention, in a vertical air conditioner housing, one of the panel frame, the decorative strip, and the lower trim panel having a snap-hole portion has a friction-enhancing texture, and the friction-enhancing texture is adapted to interact with the snap-hole portion.

[0015] With this design, the friction-enhancing texture can interact with the latching part, increasing the friction force on the latching part. Even when the vertical air conditioner is running, if the lower trim panel, decorative strip, front panel, and panel frame deform due to thermal expansion and contraction, the friction force can resist the relative sliding caused by the deformation and avoid friction noise.

[0016] According to the present invention, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided with a process slope at the upper end of the lower trim panel, and the distance between the process slope and the panel frame gradually decreases along the direction away from the bottom end of the lower trim panel.

[0017] This design, with its beveled edges, reduces the user's focus on the gap between the upper part of the lower trim panel and the lower part of the front panel, thus minimizing the impact of this gap on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner casing.

[0018] According to the present invention, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided, wherein the front panel is connected to the panel frame by a third connecting structure, the third connecting structure includes a third snap-fit ​​component and a third fastening component, the third snap-fit ​​component is adapted to snap the front panel to the panel frame, and the third fastening component is adapted to fasten the front panel to the panel frame. Multiple third buckle components are provided, and the multiple third buckle components are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the front panel, and the snapping direction of each third buckle component is consistent.

[0019] This design, using snap-fit ​​and fastening components to assemble the front panel onto the panel frame, improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the front panel.

[0020] According to the vertical air conditioner housing provided by this utility model, it also includes: A base is disposed at the bottom end of the panel frame. The base includes a support portion and a connecting portion disposed above the support portion. The lower end of the panel frame is connected to the connecting portion. Along the vertical direction of the panel frame, the projection area of ​​the connecting portion is located inside the projection area of ​​the support portion. A third process groove is formed between the lower end surface of the panel frame and the upper end surface of the support portion.

[0021] With this configuration, the lower end of the panel frame where the lower trim panel is installed and the upper end of the support have the aforementioned third process groove. The third process groove has a certain size along the vertical direction of the panel frame, which is much larger than the maximum size that the lower trim panel can be adjusted along the vertical direction of the panel frame. When adjusting the position of the lower trim panel along the vertical direction of the panel frame, the position adjustment of the lower trim panel has little impact on the size of the third process groove, which can weaken the impact of the position of the lower trim panel on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner.

[0022] According to the present invention, a vertical air conditioner housing is provided with a first process groove on the outer edge of the lower trim panel and on the side facing the panel frame. A second process groove is provided on the outer edge of the decorative strip and on the side facing the panel frame.

[0023] With this configuration, after the lower trim panel and decorative strip are assembled to the panel frame, the positions of the first and second process grooves form an aesthetic groove. The formation of this aesthetic groove reduces the impact of factors such as thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the lower trim panel and decorative strip, the tightness of the connection between the lower trim panel and the panel frame via the first connecting structure, and the tightness of the connection between the decorative strip and the panel frame via the second connecting structure on the uniformity of the gaps, thus mitigating the impact of thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the lower trim panel and decorative strip on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner.

[0024] This utility model also provides a vertical air conditioner, including the above-mentioned vertical air conditioner housing.

[0025] The vertical air conditioner housing provided by this utility model includes a panel frame, a front panel, a lower trim panel, and a decorative strip. Both the front panel and the lower trim panel are disposed within the panel frame, and are distributed vertically along the panel frame. The lower trim panel is connected to the panel frame via a first connecting structure. The decorative strip is disposed between the front panel and the panel frame, extending along the edge of the front panel, with both ends of the decorative strip abutting the upper surface of the lower trim panel. The first connecting structure allows the position of the lower trim panel within the panel frame to be adjusted vertically along the panel frame. When installing the front panel, lower trim panel, and decorative strip onto the panel frame, the position of the lower trim panel can be adjusted vertically along the panel frame according to the position of the lower end of the decorative strip. This ensures that both ends of the decorative strip are aligned with the upper end of the lower trim panel, avoiding large gaps between the ends of the decorative strip and the upper end of the lower trim panel, or interference between the ends of the decorative strip and the upper end of the lower trim panel. This eliminates the influence of injection molding precision on the assembly effect, ensuring the assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner. It also solves the problem in related technologies where the injection molding precision of the decorative strip has a significant impact on the assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner.

[0026] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner provided by this utility model, having the vertical air conditioner casing as described above, also possesses the various advantages described above. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0037] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes the housing of a vertical air conditioner.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the vertical air conditioner housing provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a panel frame 1, a front panel 2, a lower trim panel 3, and a decorative strip 4.

[0039] Specifically, when a vertical air conditioner is normally installed on a level surface, the vertical direction of the panel frame 1 is along the vertical direction. The side of the panel frame 1 used to install the front panel 2 is the front side of the panel frame 1, and the front-back direction of the panel frame 1 is the longitudinal direction of the panel frame 1. The lateral direction of the panel frame 1 is perpendicular to both the vertical and longitudinal directions of the panel frame 1. The vertical, longitudinal, and lateral directions of the panel frame 1 are all perpendicular to each other. The vertical direction of the panel frame 1 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by z in the middle, the horizontal direction of panel frame 1 is Figure 1 The direction indicated by x in the middle, the vertical direction of panel frame 1 is Figure 1 The direction indicated by y in the middle.

[0040] Both the front panel 2 and the lower trim panel 3 are disposed on the panel frame 1, and the front panel 2 and the lower trim panel 3 are distributed along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1. The lower trim panel 3 is connected to the panel frame 1 through a first connecting structure.

[0041] Decorative strip 4 is disposed between front panel 2 and panel frame 1. Decorative strip 4 extends along the edge of front panel 2, and both ends of decorative strip 4 are in contact with the upper surface of lower trim panel 3.

[0042] The first connection structure allows the lower trim panel 3 to be adjusted vertically along the panel frame 1 in position.

[0043] Specifically, if the vertical dimension of the decorative strip 4 along the panel frame 1 is small due to injection molding precision issues, the position of the lower trim panel 3 on the panel frame 1 can be adjusted upwards appropriately. If the vertical dimension of the decorative strip 4 along the panel frame 1 is large, the position of the lower trim panel 3 on the panel frame 1 can be adjusted downwards appropriately.

[0044] In other words, when the front panel 2, lower trim panel 3, and decorative strip 4 are installed on the panel frame 1, the position of the lower trim panel 3 can be adjusted vertically along the panel frame 1 according to the position of the lower end of the decorative strip 4. This ensures that both ends of the decorative strip 4 are in contact with the upper end of the lower trim panel 3, avoiding large gaps between the two ends of the decorative strip 4 and the upper end of the lower trim panel 3, or interference between the end of the decorative strip 4 and the upper end of the lower trim panel 3. This eliminates the influence of injection molding precision on the assembly effect, ensures the assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner, and solves the problem that the injection molding precision of the decorative strip has a significant impact on the assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner in related technologies.

[0045] In a further embodiment, a connecting plate 5 is provided between the two ends of the decorative strip 4. The connecting plate 5 extends laterally along the panel frame 1, and the two ends of the connecting plate 5 are connected to the two ends of the decorative strip 4 in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, the connecting plate 5 and the decorative strip 4 can be integrally formed.

[0046] The upper end of the lower trim panel 3 overlaps with the connecting plate 5. The connecting plate 5 is located on the side of the lower trim panel 3 near the panel frame 1, and the upper end of the lower trim panel 3 is engaged with the connecting plate 5.

[0047] This arrangement allows the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3 to be connected in an assembly manner. The snap-fit ​​structure between the lower trim panel 3 and the connecting plate 5 can further limit the assembly gap between the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3, further improve the assembly effect of the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3 on the panel frame 1, and help improve the consistency of the assembly gap between the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3 of different three-dimensional air conditioner shells.

[0048] Specifically, a fourth latching hole 15 is provided on the connecting plate 5, and a fourth latching part 16 is provided at the upper end of the lower trim plate 3. The fourth latching part 16 is engaged with the fourth latching hole 15.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, the decorative strip 4 is connected to the panel frame 1 through a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure is similar to the second connecting structure, both including a snap-fit ​​component and a fastening component.

[0050] The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​part and a snap-fit ​​part, which engage with the snap-fit ​​part to restrict the relative movement of the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​part along the longitudinal direction of the panel frame 1.

[0051] For the first connecting structure, the snap-fit ​​assembly of the first connecting structure is a first snap-fit ​​assembly 6, whose snap-fit ​​part is a first snap-fit ​​part 20, and whose snap-hole part is a first snap-hole part. One of the first snap-fit ​​part 20 and the first snap-hole part is located on the lower trim panel 3, and the other is located on the panel frame 1. The first snap-fit ​​part 20 is disposed on the lower trim panel 3, and the first snap-hole part is disposed on the panel frame 1. When the lower trim panel 3 is installed on the panel frame 1, the first snap-fit ​​part 20 on the lower trim panel 3 engages with the first snap-hole part on the panel frame 1. Through the interaction between the first snap-fit ​​part 20 and the first snap-hole part, the movement of the lower trim panel 3 relative to the panel frame 1 along the longitudinal direction of the panel frame 1 can be restricted.

[0052] For the second connecting structure, the snap-fit ​​assembly is a second snap-fit ​​assembly 7, with a snap-fit ​​portion of second snap-fit ​​portion 19 and a snap-hole portion of second snap-hole portion. One of the second snap-fit ​​portion 19 and the second snap-hole portion is located on the decorative strip 4, and the other is located on the panel frame 1. The second snap-fit ​​portion 19 is disposed on the decorative strip 4, and the second snap-hole portion is disposed on the panel frame 1. When the decorative strip 4 is installed on the panel frame 1, the second snap-fit ​​portion 19 on the decorative strip 4 engages with the second snap-hole portion on the panel frame 1. Through the interaction between the second snap-fit ​​portion 19 and the second snap-hole portion, the movement of the decorative strip 4 relative to the panel frame 1 along its longitudinal direction can be restricted.

[0053] Along the vertical direction of panel frame 1, the size of the card hole is larger than the size of the buckle.

[0054] Specifically, for the first snap-fit ​​assembly 6, the vertical dimension of the first snap-fit ​​part along the panel frame 1 is greater than the vertical dimension of the first snap-fit ​​part 20 along the panel frame 1. The first snap-fit ​​part allows the first snap-fit ​​part 20 to move vertically along the panel frame 1, thereby enabling the lower trim panel 3 to move relative to the panel frame 1 vertically, thereby adjusting the installation position of the lower trim panel 3 on the panel frame 1.

[0055] For the second snap-fit ​​assembly 7, the vertical dimension of the second snap-fit ​​part along the panel frame 1 is greater than the vertical dimension of the second snap-fit ​​part 19 along the panel frame 1. The second snap-fit ​​part allows the second snap-fit ​​part 19 to be snapped into any position, which can reduce the positional accuracy requirements of the second snap-fit ​​part 19 on the decorative strip 4 and the positional accuracy requirements of the second snap-fit ​​part on the panel frame 1.

[0056] The fastening assembly includes a fastener, a threaded hole, and an oblong hole. The length direction of the oblong hole is perpendicular to the panel frame 1. The fastener can pass through the oblong hole at any position and can be threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0057] For the first connecting structure, the fastening component of the first connecting structure is a first fastening component 12, whose fastener, threaded hole, and oblong hole are respectively a first fastener, a first threaded hole 21, and a first oblong hole. The first threaded hole 21 is provided in the lower trim panel 3, and the first oblong hole is provided in the panel frame 1. The first fastener passes through the first oblong hole from the side of the panel frame 1 away from the lower trim panel 3 and is screwed into the first threaded hole 21, so that the first fastener can be screwed tightly into the first threaded hole 21. Before the first fastener is screwed in, or before the first fastener is screwed into the first threaded hole 21, the relative position of the lower trim panel 3 and the panel frame 1 along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1 can be adjusted. After the position of the lower trim panel 3 is adjusted, the first fastener is screwed into the first threaded hole 21 and screwed in, so that the position of the first fastener in the first oblong hole is stable, thereby ensuring that the relative position of the lower trim panel 3 and the panel frame 1 along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1 is fixed.

[0058] For the second connecting structure, the fastening component of the second connecting structure is the second fastening component 13, whose fastener, threaded hole, and oblong hole are respectively the second fastener, the second threaded hole, and the second oblong hole 18. The second threaded hole is provided in the panel frame 1, and the second oblong hole 18 is provided in the decorative strip 4. Specifically, the second oblong hole 18 can be provided in the connecting plate 5 of the decorative strip 4. The second fastener can pass through the second oblong hole 18 from the side of the connecting plate 5 away from the panel frame 1 and then be screwed into the second threaded hole, so that the second fastener can be screwed tightly connected with the second threaded hole. When the decorative strip 4 is installed on the panel frame 1, as long as the second oblong hole 18 is aligned with the second threaded hole, the installation requirements of the second fastener can be met, which reduces the positional accuracy requirements of the second oblong hole 18 and the second threaded hole, and can adapt to the adjustment of the relative position of the second snap-fit ​​part 19 and the second snap-hole part along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1 when they are engaged.

[0059] In summary, the second connection structure reduces the machining accuracy requirements of the second snap-fit ​​assembly 7 and the second fastening assembly 13. By combining the snap-fit ​​and fastening assemblies, the installation positions of the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3 on the panel frame 1 become adjustable, offering greater adaptability. Furthermore, after adjusting the installation positions of the decorative strip 4 and the lower trim panel 3, the stability of their positions on the panel frame 1 is ensured, preventing wobbling and reducing noise.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​assembly 6 is provided in two columns, with the two columns of first snap-fit ​​assemblies 6 distributed at intervals along the horizontal direction of the panel frame 1, and each column of first snap-fit ​​assemblies 6 distributed at intervals along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1, and the snap-fit ​​direction of each first snap-fit ​​assembly 6 is consistent. Two first fastening assemblies 12 are provided, with the two first fastening assemblies 12 distributed at intervals along the horizontal direction of the panel frame 1.

[0061] This improves the reliability of the connection between the lower trim panel 3 and the panel frame 1, and ensures the consistency of the assembly gap between the lower trim panel 3 and the panel frame 1 along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1.

[0062] Multiple second buckle components 7 are provided, and each second buckle component 7 is distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the decorative strip 4, and the snapping direction of each second buckle component 7 is the same. Two second fastening components 13 are provided, and the two second fastening components 13 are distributed at intervals along the lateral direction of the panel frame 1.

[0063] This improves the reliability of the connection between the decorative strip 4 and the panel frame 1, and ensures the consistency of the assembly gap between the decorative strip 4 and the panel frame 1 along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1.

[0064] In this embodiment of the present invention, a process slope 17 is provided at the upper end of the lower trim panel 3. The distance between the process slope 17 and the panel frame 1 gradually decreases along the direction away from the bottom end of the lower trim panel 3. (Refer to...) Figure 6 The design of the process bevel 17 can reduce the user's attention to the gap between the upper end of the lower trim panel 3 and the lower end of the front panel 2, and reduce the impact of the gap between the upper end of the lower trim panel 3 and the lower end of the front panel 2 on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner casing.

[0065] In some embodiments, the non-processed bevel 17 of the side surface of the front panel 2 away from the panel frame 1 is flush with the non-processed bevel 17 of the side surface of the lower trim panel 3 away from the panel frame 1, forming a certain space between the lower end of the front panel 2 and the connecting plate 5, allowing the portion of the lower trim panel 3 with the processed bevel 17 to extend into it. Thus, when adjusting the position of the lower trim panel 3 vertically along the panel frame 1, the upper end of the lower trim panel 3 is essentially not exposed, greatly minimizing the impact of the fit gap between the upper end of the lower trim panel 3 and the lower end of the front panel 2 on aesthetics.

[0066] In this embodiment, the front panel 2 and the panel frame 1 are connected by a third connecting structure, which includes a third snap-fit ​​component 8 and a third fastening component 14. The third snap-fit ​​component 8 is used to snap the front panel 2 and the panel frame 1 together, and the third fastening component 14 is used to fasten the front panel 2 and the panel frame 1 together.

[0067] Multiple third buckle components 8 are provided, and the multiple third buckle components 8 are distributed circumferentially along the front panel 2, with the snapping direction of each third buckle component 8 being consistent. Two third fastening components 14 are provided, and the two third fastening components 14 are located at the vertical middle position of the panel frame 1, and the two third fastening components 14 are distributed laterally along the panel frame 1.

[0068] The third latching assembly 8 includes a third latching part and a third latching hole part, which engage with each other. Specifically, the third latching part can be disposed on the front panel 2, and the third latching hole part can be disposed on the panel frame 1. The vertical dimension of the third latching hole part along the panel frame 1 is larger than that of the third latching part along the panel frame 1. The third latching hole part allows the third latching part to be engaged at any position, which can reduce the positional accuracy requirements of the third latching part on the front panel 2 and the positional accuracy requirements of the third latching hole part on the panel frame 1.

[0069] The third fastening assembly 14 includes a third fastener, a connecting hole, and a third threaded hole. The third threaded hole is located on the front panel 2, and the connecting hole is located on the panel frame 1. The third fastener passes through the connecting hole from the side of the panel frame 1 away from the front panel 2 and is screwed into the third threaded hole.

[0070] The aforementioned connecting hole can be a circular hole that matches the size of the third threaded hole, or it can be an oblong hole extending vertically along the panel frame 1. When the connecting hole is an oblong hole, as long as the connecting hole and the third threaded hole are aligned when the front panel 2 is installed on the panel frame 1, the installation requirements of the third fastener can be met, reducing the positional accuracy requirements of the connecting hole and the third threaded hole.

[0071] In a further embodiment, one of the latching portions in the panel frame 1, decorative strip 4, and lower trim panel 3 has a friction-enhancing texture. When the latching portion interacts with the latching portion, the friction-enhancing texture can interact with the latching portion, increasing the friction force on the latching portion. Even when the vertical air conditioner is running, if the lower trim panel 3, decorative strip 4, front panel 2, and panel frame 1 deform due to thermal expansion and contraction, the friction force can resist the relative sliding caused by the deformation, avoiding friction noise.

[0072] In specific embodiments, the aforementioned textured surface can be, but is not limited to, a frosted texture, a wavy texture, or a leather texture. In some embodiments, a leather texture is provided around the card holes in one of the panel frame 1, the decorative strip 4, and the lower trim panel 3.

[0073] In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner casing also includes a base 9, which is located at the bottom of the panel frame 1 for support.

[0074] The base 9 includes a support portion 10 and a connecting portion 11. The connecting portion 11 is disposed above the support portion 10 and is used to connect with the panel frame 1. Along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1, the projection area of ​​the connecting portion 11 is located inside the projection area of ​​the support portion 10. The lower end of the panel frame 1 is connected to the connecting portion 11. When connected, the panel frame 1 is arranged around the outside of the connecting portion 11.

[0075] The connection between the lower end of the panel frame 1 and the connecting part 11 can be achieved by snaps and fasteners.

[0076] The fasteners mentioned above may be, but are not limited to, screws or bolts.

[0077] A third process groove is formed between the lower end face of the panel frame 1 and the upper end face of the support part 10. Correspondingly, there is a gap between the lower end of the panel frame 1 where the lower trim panel 3 is installed and the upper end face of the support part 10, as described above, due to the third process groove. The third process groove has a certain size along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1. This size is much larger than the maximum size that the lower trim panel 3 can be adjusted along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1. When adjusting the position of the lower trim panel 3 along the vertical direction of the panel frame 1, the position adjustment of the lower trim panel 3 has little impact on the size of the third process groove, which can weaken the impact of the position of the lower trim panel 3 on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner.

[0078] In a further embodiment, a first process groove is provided on the outer edge of the lower trim panel 3 facing the panel frame 1. When the lower trim panel 3 is assembled to the panel frame 1, the position of the first process groove corresponds to the formation of an aesthetic groove. A second process groove is provided on the outer edge of the decorative strip 4 facing the panel frame 1. When the decorative strip 4 is assembled to the panel frame 1, the position of the second process groove corresponds to the formation of an aesthetic groove.

[0079] The formation of the decorative groove can reduce the impact of factors such as thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the lower trim panel 3 and decorative strip 4, the tightness of the connection between the first connecting structure and the panel frame 1 at various positions of the lower trim panel 3, and the tightness of the connection between the second connecting structure and the panel frame 1 at various positions of the decorative strip 4 on the uniformity of the gap, thus weakening the impact of thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the lower trim panel 3 and decorative strip 4 on the aesthetics of the vertical air conditioner.

[0080] It should be noted that the lower trim panel 3, front panel 2, and decorative strip 4 are set separately. The colors of the lower trim panel 3, front panel 2, and decorative strip 4 can be designed separately according to design requirements and user preferences, creating a contrasting color design to meet the user's personalized needs. The second connection structure between the decorative strip 4 and the panel frame 1 allows the decorative strip 4 to be detachable, and users can also replace the decorative strip 4 according to their own needs.

[0081] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides a vertical air conditioner, including the vertical air conditioner housing provided in any of the above embodiments. The assembly effect of the vertical air conditioner housing provided in any of the above embodiments is not affected by the injection molding precision of the decorative strip. Therefore, the vertical air conditioner provided in this embodiment has the advantages of good assembly effect and low requirement for processing precision. The derivation process of the beneficial effects of the vertical air conditioner in this utility model embodiment is largely similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effects of the vertical air conditioner housing described above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0082] 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.
