[0042] The air conditioner 100 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes: a housing 1, an indoor heat exchanger 2, and an indoor fan 3. The housing 1 has an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The housing 1 contains a heat exchange duct 13 communicating with the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. The indoor heat exchanger 2 and the indoor fan 3 are both located within the housing 1. Wherein, as... Figure 2As shown, the outer surface of the housing 1 has an empty area 14. The empty area 14, the air inlet 11, and the air outlet 12 are located on different sides of the housing 1, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the vacant area 14 has a plurality of spaced mounting holes 141.

[0044] It is worth noting that the type of air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of this application is not limited, and can be a floor-standing air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, etc. In the following description of this application, a floor-standing air conditioner 100 will be used as an example for explanation.

[0045] Under the action of the indoor fan 3, the airflow flows into the heat exchange duct 13 of the shell 1 through the air inlet 11, and flows along the heat exchange duct 13 to exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 2, and finally flows out from the air outlet 12 to regulate the indoor temperature. The shell 1, the indoor heat exchanger 2 and the indoor fan 3 work together to achieve the air conditioning function.

[0046] The outer surface of the housing 1 has an empty area 14, in which a plurality of spaced mounting holes 141 are formed. The mounting holes 141 allow for installation; for example, hooks can be installed in the mounting holes 141 for hanging clothes or other items. In this way, the air conditioner 100 not only has air conditioning functions but also includes a hanging function for mounting items, allowing it to integrate into home life and accommodate other living room usage scenarios, thus offering strong functionality. The air conditioner 100 is relatively large; by providing the empty area 14 on the outer surface of the housing 1, space utilization can be improved.

[0047] Multiple spaced mounting holes 141 are formed in the vacant area 14, which can accommodate multiple items.

[0048] The vacant area 14, air inlet 11, and air outlet 12 are located on different sides of the housing 1. The hanging function of the vacant area 14 avoids interfering with the normal air intake and exhaust of the air conditioner 100, thus expanding the functionality of the air conditioner 100 while ensuring its normal air intake and exhaust. This enhances functionality without sacrificing the air conditioning performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0049] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100, by providing an empty area 14 on the outer surface of the housing 1, can not only perform the normal air conditioning function, but also take into account the functions of placing and hanging items, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioner 100 and increasing the space utilization rate of the outer surface of the housing 1.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least two of the plurality of mounting holes 141 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and in the vertical direction, the height of the housing 1 is equal to the length of the vacant area 14.

[0051] The vacant area 14 covers one outer surface of the housing 1 in a vertical direction. The vacant area 14 has a large volume, which can improve its ability to support objects. The air conditioner 100 has a large vertical dimension, so at least two mounting holes 141 are arranged at intervals in a vertical direction to improve the space utilization of the vacant area 14.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting hole 141 is a blind hole. The mounting hole 141 formed on the housing 1 is a blind hole. The mounting hole 141 does not penetrate the housing 1, but is separated from the interior of the housing 1. This can prevent the heat exchange airflow inside the housing 1 from escaping from the mounting hole 141, which is beneficial to improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the number of mounting holes 141 is n, n≤500 and n is a positive integer; and / or, the diameter of the mounting holes 141 is d, 0.5mm≤d≤30mm.

[0054] The large number of mounting holes 141 increases the number of places to place items, enhances the capacity of the empty area 14 to support objects, and improves the space utilization of the empty area 14.

[0055] Optionally, the number n of mounting holes 141 can be 1, 200, 250, 300, 500, etc.

[0056] The mounting hole 141 has a large diameter range, providing a wide range of options for item placement and making it widely applicable.

[0057] Optionally, the diameter d of the mounting hole 141 can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the number of mounting holes 141 is n, where n is a positive integer, 10≤n≤100, and / or the diameter of the mounting holes 141 is d, where 2mm≤d≤15mm.

[0059] Optionally, the number n of mounting holes 141 can be 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, etc.

[0060] Optionally, the diameter d of the mounting hole 141 can be 2mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes: a wall bracket 4, which includes a plug-in part 41 and a hanging part 42. The plug-in part 41 is detachably plugged into the mounting hole 141, and the hanging part 42 is used to hang items; and / or, a shelf 5, which includes a placement plate 51. The placement plate 51 is horizontally arranged and used to place items, and the placement plate 51 is directly or indirectly plugged into the mounting hole 141.

[0062] The hanging bracket 4 is stably inserted into the mounting hole 141 via the insertion part 41. The hanging part 42 of the hanging bracket 4 is used to hang items, thus enabling the air conditioner 100 to function as a hanging device. For example, towels, tags, etc., can be directly hung on the hanging bracket 4, which is convenient to use. Furthermore, the insertion part 41 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 141. Multiple mounting holes 141 are spaced apart in the empty area 14, and the hanging position can be adjusted by changing the insertion position of the hanging bracket 4. The insertion operation of the insertion part 41 is simple and convenient to use.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, there can be multiple racks 4. By setting multiple racks 4 of different heights, multiple items can be hung in sequence in the vertical direction, which is beneficial for the placement of items and can improve the storage capacity of the empty area 14.

[0064] The shelf 5 can be used to place items, thus enabling the air conditioner 100 to function as a storage unit. The design of the shelf 5 expands the storage space of the air conditioner 100, making it not only an air conditioning unit but also a small storage platform. For example, keys and similar items can be placed directly on the shelf 5 for convenient use.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, there can be multiple shelves 5. By setting multiple shelves 5 of different heights, multiple items can be placed in sequence in the vertical direction, which is beneficial for the placement of items and can improve the storage capacity of the empty area 14.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a shelf 5, which also includes a plurality of support rods 52. The plurality of support rods 52 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. Each support rod 52 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 141. The lower surface of the placement plate 51 has a limiting groove 511 extending through its opposite ends. The support rod 52 is limited and fitted into the limiting groove 511.

[0067] The support rod 52 is positioned within the limiting groove 511 to ensure a stable fit between the support rod 52 and the placement plate 51, thus stabilizing the arrangement of the shelf 5. The shelf 5 is stably inserted into the mounting hole 141 via the support rod 52. The placement plate 51 is used to place items. The support rod 52 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 141, and its placement position can be adjusted by changing the insertion position of the support rod 52, allowing items to be placed at different heights. Furthermore, the insertion and insertion operation of the support rod 52 is simple and convenient to use.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, a shelf 5 includes a placement plate 51 and two support rods 52. The two support rods 52 are fitted into limiting grooves 511 and inserted into mounting holes 141 to ensure the placement plate 51 is stably arranged. By setting two support rods 52, the uniformity of force on the placement plate 51 can be improved, and the stability of items placed on the placement plate 51 can be enhanced.

[0069] In some other embodiments of this utility model, a shelf 5 includes a placement plate 51 and three support rods 52, or even more support rods 52, which can further improve the arrangement stability of the placement plate 51 and thereby increase the volume of the placement plate 51, which is beneficial to increase the space available for placing items and improve the storage capacity of the shelf 5.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes: a duct component 6, which defines a portion of the heat exchange duct 13 and includes a first duct component 61 and a second duct component 62. An indoor fan 3 is disposed in the first duct component 61, which is located at the outlet side of the indoor fan 3. The second duct component 62 connects the first duct component 61 and the air outlet 12, and the second duct component 62 is integrally formed on the housing 1.

[0071] The first air duct component 61 and the second air duct component 62 are both located near the air outlet 12. The second air duct component 62 connects the first air duct component 61 and the air outlet 12. The airflow first passes through the first air duct component 61 and then flows to the second air duct component 62, and finally flows out from the air outlet 12.

[0072] The second air duct component 62 is integrally formed with the housing 1, and the second air duct component 62 forms an air outlet 12 at the housing 1, which can improve the integrity of the heat exchange air duct 13, reduce the occurrence of airflow leakage from the structural gaps at the air outlet 12, and help improve the air output effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, after the airflow passes through the indoor heat exchanger 2, it flows through the heat exchange duct 13 defined by the first air duct component 61, and then flows into the heat exchange duct 13 defined by the second air duct component 62.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, an air outlet 12 is formed on the front side of the housing 1, and an air inlet 11 is formed on one of the left and right sides of the housing 1, while an empty area 14 is formed on the other side.

[0075] Understandably, the air conditioner 100 is relatively large and is generally placed against a wall. Therefore, the rear of the casing 1 faces the wall, and the air outlet 12 is located on the front of the casing 1, directing airflow forward. One of the left and right sides of the casing 1 forms an air inlet 11, while the other forms an empty area 14. This allows for additional functions of the air conditioner 100 while providing normal airflow. The empty area 14 is located on the left or right side, providing ample operating space and ease of use.

[0076] The vacant area 14 can be set on the left or right side as needed. For example, when the air conditioner 100 is placed in a corner, the back and left sides of the housing 1 are close to the wall. In this case, the vacant area 14 can be arranged on the right side of the air conditioner 100, where the right side of the housing 1 has more space and is easier to use.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, an air inlet 11 and at least one hanging hole 15 are formed on the rear side of the housing 1, with the air inlet 11 and the hanging hole 15 spaced apart, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, a wall-mounting structure 16 is provided on the upper side of the hanging hole 15. The wall-mounting structure 16 is suitable for being hung with a hook provided on the wall, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet 11 on the rear side of the housing 1 is located on the side of the hanging hole 15 away from the empty area 14.

[0078] The air conditioner 100 in some embodiments of this utility model can also be mounted on a wall, thereby increasing the placement range of the air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 has a wall-mounting structure 16, which is attached to a hook on the wall, thereby enabling the air conditioner 100 to be mounted.

[0079] A hanging hole 15 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1, through which a hook can pass to engage with the hanging groove 161. An air inlet 11 is also provided on the rear side of the housing 1, spaced apart from the hanging hole 15. It is understood that the air inlet 11 is a through hole allowing airflow; by spaced apart from the hanging hole 15, the impact on the structural strength of the location of the hanging hole 15 can be reduced, thus improving the stability of the air conditioner 100 during installation.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, an air outlet 12 is formed on the front side of the housing 1, and air inlets 11 are formed on the rear and left sides of the housing 1. An empty area 14 is formed on the right side of the housing 1.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the dotted lines with arrows represent the airflow path. The air conditioner 100 has air intake on the rear and left sides and air outlet on the front side, which can increase the air intake volume of the air conditioner 100 and help improve the air outlet effect.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an air guide plate 17 is installed at the air outlet 12. The air guide plate 17 opens and closes the air outlet 12 to control the airflow from the air outlet 12. Figure 3 As shown, the air guide plate 17 is oriented to the right to guide the air out, which can increase the space distance between the air outlet and the air inlet, and reduce the occurrence of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 flowing back to the air inlet 11 before the air is fully exchanged for heat.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing 1 includes a front shell 1a and a rear shell 1b connected front to back. The front shell 1a includes a front panel 1a1 and two opposing first side plates 1a2. The rear shell 1b includes a back plate 1b1 and two opposing second side plates 1b2. The thickness of the rear shell 1b is greater than the thickness of the front shell 1a.

[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, an air inlet 11 and a hanging hole 15 are formed on the back panel 1b1. One of the second side panels 1b2 has an air inlet 11, and the other second side panel 1b2 has an empty area 14. The front panel 1a1 has an air outlet 12. One of the first side panels 1a2 has an air inlet 11. The first side panel 1a2 with the air inlet 11 is arranged close to the second side panel 1b2 with the air inlet 11.

[0085] An air inlet 11 and a mounting hole 15 are formed on the back panel 1b1. Therefore, the rear part of the back cover 1b is designed to be thicker than the front cover 1a, which can improve the structural stability at the mounting hole 15 and help improve the mounting stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0086] By forming an empty area 14 only on the second side plate 1b2, the manufacturing and assembly of the housing 1 can be facilitated. For example, the housing 1 can be manufactured and molded separately and then assembled together. By forming an empty area 14 on one of the second side plates 1b2, the manufacturing and molding difficulty can be reduced.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8As shown, the second side panel 1b2 on the left side forms an air inlet 11, and the first side panel 1a2 on the left side forms an air inlet 11, so that the housing 1 can be air-intake from the same side; the second side panel 1b2 on the right side forms an empty area 14, which can reduce the mutual interference between the air conditioning function and the item placement function of the air conditioner 100.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple hanging holes 15, with at least two hanging holes 15 spaced vertically apart. By setting multiple hanging holes 15 spaced vertically apart, the housing 1 is subjected to uniform force, which can improve the mounting stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, there are two hanging holes 15, which are spaced vertically apart, with at least one hanging hole 15 located above the center of gravity of the air conditioner 100. Because the hanging holes 15 are located above the center of gravity of the air conditioner 100, the air conditioner 100 can be stably hung under the influence of gravity.

[0090] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wall-mounted structure 16 is located on the inner wall surface of the shell 1.

[0091] The wall-mounting structure 16 does not protrude from the outer wall of the housing 1, ensuring the integrity of the housing 1 and reducing interference between the air conditioner 100 and the outside environment during installation, thus facilitating installation. Furthermore, by placing the wall-mounting structure 16 on the inner wall of the housing 1, the housing 1 also protects the wall-mounting structure 16, preventing bumps and knocks during movement and improving the operational reliability of the wall-mounting structure 16.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, the wall-mounting structure 16 is integrally formed into the housing 1. The integral forming of the wall-mounting structure 16 and the housing 1 can improve the structural reliability of the wall-mounting structure 16, facilitate stable cooperation with the hook, and improve the installation stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0093] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wall-mounted structure 16 defines a plurality of hanging slots 161 spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. The opening of each hanging slot 161 is downward and is suitable for being hooked with a hook. The hanging slots 161 are hooked with hooks on the wall, thereby enabling the air conditioner 100 to be mounted.

[0094] A wall-mounting structure 16 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1, and an air inlet 11 is also provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The wall-mounting structure 16 defines multiple hanging slots 161, which can adjust the distance between the rear side of the housing 1 and the wall, increasing the freedom of arrangement of the air conditioner 100. For example, by engaging the hook with the hanging slot 161 closest to the rear side, the distance between the rear side of the housing 1 and the wall can be increased, thereby increasing the air intake volume of the air inlet 11 on the rear side of the housing 1 and improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0095] When the air conditioner 100 is mounted on the wall, it moves from top to bottom, causing the hook to extend from bottom to top through the hanging hole 15 and engage with the hanging groove 161, thus completing the mounting of the air conditioner 100.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, the wall-mounted structure 16 includes an annular frame 162 and multiple partitions 163. The annular frame 162 is connected to the housing 1, and the central axis of the annular frame 162 is vertically arranged. The multiple partitions 163 are spaced apart on the inner side of the annular frame 162 in the front-back direction, and a hanging groove 161 is defined between two adjacent partitions 163.

[0097] The annular frame 162 is connected to the housing 1, providing a robust connection structure and enhancing the stability of the air conditioner 100 when mounted on the wall. Furthermore, the central axis of the annular frame 162 is vertically aligned, ensuring the vertical stability of the wall-mounted structure 16 and reducing the tilting or swaying of the air conditioner 100.

[0098] Multiple partitions 163 are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction inside the annular frame 162. This design can effectively divide the internal space of the annular frame 162, with a simple structure and improved space utilization.
