[0050] The embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this utility model embodiment includes an indoor unit body 100, a mounting bracket 200, a snap-fit ​​component 300, and a damping structure 400.

[0052] The mounting bracket 200 is pre-installed in the receiving space (for example, the mounting bracket 200 is installed on the bottom surface of a cabinet compartment in a furniture cabinet). The mounting bracket 200 can be fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the receiving space using threaded connectors; alternatively, the mounting bracket 200 can be adhesively fixed to the bottom surface of the receiving space.

[0053] The indoor unit body 100 has a front panel 110, on which a vertically extending through hole 111 is provided. The bottom of the indoor unit body 100 is mounted on a mounting bracket 200. The snap-fit ​​member 300 includes a driving part 310, a rotating part 320, and a snap-fit ​​part 330 connected sequentially in the front-to-back direction. The driving part 310 extends forward through the through hole 111, and the rotating part 320 is rotatably connected to the indoor unit body 100. The snap-fit ​​part 330 is provided with a downwardly protruding snap 331, and the mounting bracket 200 is provided with an upwardly opening snap groove 210, with the snap 331 engaging with the snap groove 210.

[0054] The engaging portion 330 rotates with the driving portion 310. When the driving portion 310 swings in the vertical direction, the engaging portion 330 rotates around the rotation axis of the rotating portion 320 to control the engagement or disengagement of the latch protrusion 331 with the latch slot 210. When the latch protrusion 331 engages with the latch slot 210, the indoor unit body 100 is securely connected to the mounting bracket 200. When the latch protrusion 331 disengages from the latch slot 210, the indoor unit body 100 can be detached from the mounting bracket 200.

[0055] A damping structure 400 is provided on the latching member 300, and the damping structure 400 is configured to provide a force that prevents the latching protrusion 331 from disengaging from the latching slot 210. In other words, the damping structure 400 can prevent the latching protrusion 331 from disengaging from the latching slot 210, so that the latching protrusion 331 contacts and abuts against the latching slot 210 when the latching member 300 is not subjected to other external forces, ensuring the stability of the indoor unit body 100 and the mounting bracket 200. When it is necessary to remove the indoor unit body 100 from the mounting bracket 200, the operator applies external force to the drive unit 310 to overcome the resistance of the damping structure 400, causing the latching protrusion 331 to disengage from the latching slot 210.

[0056] Compared with related technologies, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this embodiment includes an indoor unit body 100 and a mounting bracket 200. The indoor unit body 100 is mounted on the mounting bracket 200. The embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​component 300, which is snapped into the slot 210 on the mounting bracket 200. The snap-fit ​​component 300 is rotatable, and its driving part 310 protrudes forward through the through hole 111 of the panel, so that the operator can directly control the driving part 310 from the front side of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this embodiment. In addition, the damping structure 400 can prevent the protrusion 331 from disengaging from the slot 210, so that the protrusion 331 contacts and abuts against the slot 210 when the snap fastener 300 is not subjected to other external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the indoor unit body 100 and the mounting bracket 200. Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this utility model embodiment can not only be stably installed in the accommodating space, but also be easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the indoor unit body 100 also includes a housing 120, with a front panel 110 connected to the front end of the housing 120. The bottom of the housing 120 is mounted on the mounting bracket 200, and a through hole 121 is provided at the bottom of the housing 120, corresponding to the slot 210. A rotating part 320 is rotatably connected inside the indoor unit body 100, with a downward-facing protrusion 331 extending from the housing 120 and engaging with the slot 210. This not only allows the engaging member 300 to engage with the slot 210 on the mounting bracket 200, but also allows it to be rotatably mounted on the indoor unit body 100, thus concealing the engaging member 300 in appearance and making the indoor unit body 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0058] Specifically, a support frame 130 is provided on the rear side of the front panel 110, and the support frame 130 is located at the through hole 111. The rotating part 320 is rotatably connected to the support frame 130. In other words, the support frame 130 is provided on the rear side of the front panel 110 so that the snap-fit ​​part 300 can be rotatably connected to the indoor unit body 100, and the structure is simple.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 130 is located below the through hole 111. The support frame 130 includes a rearwardly extending first support plate portion 131, a first rotating engagement portion 132, and a second rotating engagement portion 133; the front end of the first support plate portion 131 is connected to the front panel 110. The first rotating engagement portion 132 and the second rotating engagement portion 133 are both located at the rear end of the first support plate portion 131, and the first rotating engagement portion 132 and the second rotating engagement portion 133 are spaced apart.

[0060] The rotating part 320 includes a first rotating shaft 321 and a downward-facing first protrusion 322, with the first rotating shaft 321 passing through the first protrusion 322. The first rotating shaft 321 is rotatably connected between the first rotating engagement part 132 and the second rotating engagement part 133. The damping structure 400 is a first elastic plate 410, the upper end of which is connected to the driving part 310. The first elastic plate 410 is inclined downward, and the lower end of which contacts and abuts against the first support plate part 131. That is, the lower end of the first elastic plate 410 abuts against the support frame 130 to provide an upward force to the driving part 310, so that the locking part 330 is stably locked downward in the locking groove 210.

[0061] In some alternative embodiments, the support frame 130 is located above the through hole 111. The support frame 130 includes a rearwardly extending second support plate portion, a third rotating engagement portion, and a fourth rotating engagement portion. The front end of the second support plate portion is connected to the front panel 110. The third rotating engagement portion and the fourth rotating engagement portion are both located at the rear end of the second support plate portion and are spaced apart.

[0062] The rotating part 320 includes a second rotating shaft and an upward-facing second protrusion, with the second rotating shaft passing through the second protrusion; the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the third rotating engagement part and the fourth rotating engagement part. The damping structure 400 is a second elastic plate, the lower end of which is connected to the driving part 310; the second elastic plate is inclined upwards, and its upper end contacts and abuts against the second support plate. That is, the lower end of the first elastic plate 410 abuts against the support frame 130 to provide a downward force to the locking part 330, so that the locking part 330 is stably locked downwards in the locking groove 210.

[0063] In some embodiments, the latching protrusion 331 includes a first guide slope 332 and a second guide slope 333 arranged sequentially in the front-rear direction; the first guide slope 332 is located in front of the second guide slope 333, the first guide slope 332 faces rearward and extends downward, and the second guide slope 333 faces rearward and extends upward. The latching groove 210 is configured to conform to the latching protrusion 331. That is, guided by the first guide slope 332 and the second guide slope 333, when the indoor unit body 100 is installed on the mounting bracket 200 and moves backward (i.e., the indoor unit body 100 is installed into the receiving space), the latching protrusion 331 can more smoothly engage into the latching groove 210.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the mounting bracket 200 extends in the front-to-back direction. A guide groove 140 extending in the front-to-back direction is provided on the lower surface of the housing 120, and a through hole 121 is formed in the guide groove 140. The mounting bracket 200 is movably disposed in the guide groove 140 relative to the indoor unit body 100 in the front-to-back direction. Thus, by engaging with the guide groove 140, the mounting bracket 200 guides the indoor unit body 100 to move in the front-to-back direction, making it easier to install the indoor unit body 100 into position.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front edge of the drive unit 310 is curved. This prevents the drive unit 310 from scratching the operator when the operator presses it.

[0066] In some embodiments, an air outlet 112 is provided at the lower part of the front panel 110, and a perforation 111 is disposed near the air outlet 112. An air guide plate is also provided on the front panel 110, which covers the air outlet 112 and the perforation 111. The air guide plate can visually conceal the air outlet 112 and the perforation 111 to make the indoor unit body 100 look more aesthetically pleasing, and the air guide plate also serves to guide airflow.

[0067] The air conditioner 20 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] The air conditioner 20 of this utility model embodiment includes the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0069] The air conditioner 20 of this embodiment has an indoor unit that is an embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10, including an indoor unit body 100 and a mounting bracket 200. The indoor unit body 100 is mounted on the mounting bracket 200. The embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​component 300, which is snapped into a slot 210 on the mounting bracket 200. The snap-fit ​​component 300 is rotatable, and its drive part 310 protrudes forward through a through hole 111 in the panel, so that the operator can directly control the drive part 310 from the front of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this embodiment. In addition, the damping structure 400 can prevent the protrusion 331 from disengaging from the slot 210, so that the protrusion 331 contacts and abuts against the slot 210 when the snap fastener 300 is not subjected to other external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the indoor unit body 100 and the mounting bracket 200. Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this utility model embodiment can not only be stably installed in the accommodating space, but also be easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0070] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
