[0027] In the description of this utility model, the use of "first" and "second" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or the order of the technical features.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] In related technologies, the wired controller of a heat pump unit is typically fixedly mounted on the surface of the main unit's casing. In some cases, the wired controller is not removable. When users view or operate the controller, it is often difficult to see it at eye level; for example, they may need to bend over, squat, or use a stool to elevate their body to make proper observation. This not only makes it difficult for users to accurately read the information displayed on the controller, increasing the risk of misoperation, but also reduces the comfort of human-computer interaction.

[0030] To address the aforementioned problems, some embodiments of this utility model propose a wired controller assembly 1000, suitable for HVAC equipment 2000, which enables users to easily and accurately read information, improving the convenience and comfort of human-computer interaction. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the HVAC equipment 2000 has a housing 101 as its outer shell, and the wired controller 100 is initially installed on the front surface of the housing 101 for user convenience. In this embodiment, the wired controller assembly 1000 includes the wired controller 100 and a first mounting base 200. The wired controller 100 is provided with a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 410. The first mounting base 200 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 101 and is provided with a first fixing portion 320 and a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion 320 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 310, and the second fixing portion is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 410.

[0031] For example, the first fixing part 320 and the first connecting part 310, as well as the second fixing part and the second connecting part 410, can be engaged by a snap-fit ​​mechanism; the first fixing part 320 and the first connecting part 310, as well as the second fixing part and the second connecting part 410, can also be engaged by fasteners. In this embodiment, it should be understood that the specific structures adopted by the first connecting part 310 and the first fixing part 320, and the second connecting part 410 and the second fixing part, are not unique in order to achieve a stable and convenient detachable connection between the wired controller 100 and the first mounting base 200.

[0032] The wired controller assembly 1000 of this embodiment achieves complete separability between the wired controller 100 and the first mounting base 200 through the detachable connection between the first fixing part 320 and the first connecting part 310, and the detachable connection between the second fixing part and the second connecting part 410. This removes the constraint of fixing the wired controller 100 to the housing 101. When the user needs to view or operate, they only need to remove the wired controller 100 from the first mounting base 200 for handheld operation. The handheld nature of the wired controller 100 effectively ensures the accuracy of viewing and operation, reduces the possibility of misoperation, and improves the convenience and comfort of human-computer interaction, thus enhancing the user experience. Considering that HVAC equipment occupies living areas, the main unit of HVAC equipment is often fixedly installed in non-living areas. Therefore, users often remove the wired controller and bring it to the living area for direct operation. However, because users often avoid frequently visiting the installation location of the main unit, and the wired controller lacks a temporary fixing or storage structure, the wired controllers removed by users are often left randomly in living areas, such as on desktops, coffee tables, and beds. On the one hand, the wired controller is easily knocked off or slips to the ground due to uneven surfaces, causing the casing to crack, the screen to be damaged, or internal components to malfunction. On the other hand, randomly placed wired controllers are easily overlooked or forgotten, making it difficult for users to quickly find them later, requiring repeated searches, which brings inconvenience to users and reduces the convenience and efficiency of operating HVAC equipment.

[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, some embodiments of this utility model propose a wired controller assembly 1000, suitable for HVAC equipment 2000. This assembly enables temporary fixing and storage of the wired controller 100, preventing it from being placed haphazardly. See details below. Figures 1 to 16 The wired controller assembly 1000 is described below.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the HVAC equipment 2000 has a housing 101 as its outer shell, and the wired controller 100 is initially installed on the front surface of the housing 101 for user convenience. In this embodiment, the wired controller assembly 1000 includes the wired controller 100, a first mounting base 200, and a second mounting base 210, wherein, combined with Figure 3 It is understood that the first mounting base 200 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 101 and is suitable for the assembly of the wired controller 100.

[0035] In order to have a fixed storage location in the living area after the user removes the wired controller 100 from the first mounting base 200, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the second mounting base 210 can be configured in the living area. In one example, the second mounting base 210 is a wall-mounted bracket, which is fixedly installed on the wall of the living area. The user can install the wired controller 100, which can be removed from the first mounting base 200, on the second mounting base 210 to wait for the next operation, thus avoiding the user frequently traveling between the installation location of the cabinet 101 and the living area.

[0036] To enable smooth and convenient switching between the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 210, in this embodiment of the invention, both the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 210 employ the same mounting structure for connection with the wired controller 100. Specifically, the wired controller 100 has a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 410 on opposite sides, and the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 210 have corresponding first fixing portions 320 and 420. Specifically, the first mounting base 200 has a first fixing portion 320 and a second fixing portion 420, and the second mounting base 210 also has a first fixing portion 320 and a second fixing portion 420. The first fixing portion 320 and the first connecting portion 310 of the wired controller 100, and the second fixing portion 420 and the second connecting portion 410 of the wired controller 100, are detachably connected.

[0037] Understandably, through the unified mounting structure design of the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 210, users can easily remove the wired controller 100 from one mounting base and install it on the other without additional tools or complicated operating procedures, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0038] In summary, the wired controller assembly 1000 of this utility model provides a first mounting base 200 on the surface of the housing 101 of the HVAC equipment 2000, and a second mounting base 210 on a location other than the housing 101, such as a wall in the living area, making it convenient for users to choose the installation location according to their operational needs. Furthermore, the wired controller 100 is provided with a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 410, and correspondingly, both the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 210 are equipped with a first fixing portion 320 and a second fixing portion 420. The design allows the wired controller 100 to be easily installed on either the first mounting base 200 or the second mounting base 210, thus enabling flexible installation and fixed storage of the wired controller 100. When the user is in the living area, the wired controller 100 can be directly fixedly installed on the second mounting base 210. This avoids the user having to frequently travel between the installation location of the cabinet 101 and the living area, improving the ease of use of the wired controller 100. It also prevents the user from placing the wired controller 100 randomly after removing it, reducing the risk of forgetting it and optimizing the user experience.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the utility model, a control panel 110 is provided on the front side of the wired controller 100, thereby facilitating user operation. In one example, the control panel 110 may be an LCD screen or a button panel 102, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. Combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 It is understood that in this embodiment, the wired controller 100 is equipped with a fixing groove 120, which is recessed forward and formed on the rear side of the wired controller 100, and is disposed opposite to the control panel 110.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the fixing groove 120 matches the shape of the square wired controller 100. Therefore, the fixing groove 120 is a square groove, and its sidewall is an annular side plate 130 arranged in the front-back direction. The first connecting part 310 and the second connecting part 410 are respectively disposed on two opposite sidewalls in the fixing groove 120. In one example, the first connecting part 310 is disposed on the upper side of the annular side plate 130, and the second connecting part 410 is disposed on the lower side of the annular side plate 130. When the first connecting part 310 is connected to the first fixing part 320 and the second connecting part 410 is connected to the second fixing part 420, the wired controller 100 can be stably supported on both its upper and lower sides.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting base 200 is provided with a receiving groove 201 with its opening facing forward. The receiving groove 201 is suitable for placing the wired controller 100. When the wired controller 100 is installed on the first mounting base 200, the first mounting base 200 can completely cover the non-operating surface of the wired controller 100, leaving only the control panel 110 exposed, thereby improving the appearance consistency of the HVAC equipment 2000. Corresponding to the first connecting part 310 and the second connecting part 410, the inner wall of the receiving groove 201 is provided with a first fixing part 320 and a second fixing part 420, which are spaced apart.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one example, when the wired controller 100 is installed on the first mounting base 200, the entire wired controller 100 is located in the receiving groove 201. The first connecting part 310 extends into the fixing groove 120 and is correspondingly connected to the first fixing part 320. The second connecting part 410 also extends into the fixing groove 120 and is correspondingly connected to the second fixing part 420. The opening of the receiving groove 201 can expose the control panel 110 so that the user can directly operate the control panel 110.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting base 210 has a plate-like structure, and the fixing groove 120 is adapted to accommodate the second mounting base 210. The first fixing part 320 and the second fixing part 420 are arranged circumferentially at intervals along the second mounting base 210. In one example, the top wall of the second mounting base 210 is provided with the first fixing part 320, and the bottom wall of the second mounting base 210 is provided with the second fixing part 420. When the wired controller 100 is installed on the second mounting base 210, the second mounting base 210 is entirely located within the fixing groove 120, and the annular side plate 130 surrounds the outside of the second mounting base 210.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on this, the first connecting part 310 is located in the fixing groove 120 and is correspondingly connected to the first fixing part 320, and the second connecting part 410 is also located in the fixing groove 120 and is correspondingly connected to the second fixing part 420. In this embodiment, when the wired controller 100 is installed on the second mounting base 210, the second mounting base 210 can be hidden behind the wired controller 100. On the one hand, this makes it convenient for the user to directly grab and remove the wired controller 100, and on the other hand, it improves the aesthetics of the wired controller 100 when installed on the second mounting base 210.

[0045] Reference Figure 5As shown in this embodiment of the invention, neither the upper nor lower sidewall of the fixing groove 120 extends in the left-right direction. A first connecting portion 310 is provided on the upper sidewall of the fixing groove 120, and at least two first connecting portions 310 are provided, spaced apart in the left-right direction. Correspondingly, at least two first fixing portions 320 are also provided, and each first fixing portion 320 is connected to one of the first connecting portions 310, thereby avoiding the off-center load problem caused by a single-point connection on the upper side of the wired controller 100.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the second connecting part 410 is disposed on the lower side wall of the fixing groove 120, and at least two second connecting parts 410 are provided, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Correspondingly, at least two second fixing parts 420 are also provided, and the second fixing parts 420 and the second connecting parts 410 are connected one-to-one, thereby avoiding the off-center load problem caused by the single-point connection on the lower side of the wire controller 100.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present invention, one of the first connecting part 310 and the first fixing part 320 is configured as a through hole 311, and the other of the first connecting part 310 and the first fixing part 320 is configured as a first latch 321. The first latch 321 is configured to rotate around the connection point under the action of an external force after the first latch 321 is inserted into the through hole 311. One of the second connecting part 410 and the second fixing part 420 is configured as a buckle 421, and the other of the second connecting part 410 and the second fixing part 420 is configured as a latch 411. The buckle 421 and the latch 411 are engaged.

[0048] For ease of description, we will first use the first mounting base 200 as an example: Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting part 310 is a through hole 311 extending through the upper side of the annular side plate 130 in the vertical direction, and the first fixing part 320 is a first latch 321, which protrudes from the inner wall of the receiving groove 201. Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the second connecting part 410 is a buckle 411, and the second fixing part 420 is a snap fastener 421, and the two are fastened together.

[0049] When assembling the wire controller 100 to the first mounting base 200, firstly, insert part of the wire controller 100 obliquely into the receiving groove 201 from bottom to top, and insert the first latch 321 into the through hole 311 to achieve initial positioning of the wire controller 100; then, screw the wire controller 100 into the receiving groove 201 from front to back around the connection between the first latch 321 and the through hole 311; when the wire controller 100 is fully screwed into the receiving groove 201, the latch 421 and the fastener 411 can automatically complete the fastening, thereby achieving a secure assembly of the wire controller 100.

[0050] Similarly, the second mounting bracket 210 will be used as an example for explanation: Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting part 310 is a through hole 311 extending through the upper side of the annular side plate 130 in the vertical direction, and the first fixing part 320 is a first latch 321, which protrudes from the peripheral wall of the second mounting base 210. Figure 12 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the second connecting part 410 is a buckle 411, and the second fixing part 420 is a snap fastener 421, and the two are fastened together.

[0051] When assembling the wire controller 100 to the first mounting base 200, the wire controller 100 is first inserted diagonally from top to bottom into the second mounting base 210 so that the second mounting base 210 enters the fixing groove 120, and the first latch 321 is aligned with the through hole 311 and inserted into it to achieve the initial positioning of the wire controller 100; then, the wire controller 100 is rotated from front to back around the connection between the first latch 321 and the through hole 311; when the second mounting base 210 is fully inserted into the fixing groove 120, the latch 421 and the fastener 411 can automatically complete the fastening, thereby achieving a secure assembly of the wire controller 100.

[0052] For ease of description, the following description will be based on the example of having two second connecting parts 410 and two fixing parts 420.

[0053] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, one of the second connecting portions 410 is a first lug 412, and the other second connecting portion 410 is a second lug 413; one of the second fixing portions 420 is a first buckle 422, and the other second fixing portion 420 is a second buckle 423.

Specifically, the first lug 412 and the second lug 413 are connected to the rear end of the lower sidewall and extend upward.

[0054] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first buckle 422 has a curved structure, thereby forming a stepped surface 4221 on its side wall, with the stepped surface 4221 facing rearward. Correspondingly, the front side of the first lug 412 has a mating surface 4121 that engages with the stepped surface 4221. It can be understood that when the wire controller 100 moves forward under the action of an external force, the contact between the stepped surface 4221 and the mating surface 4121 can limit the wire controller 100 from moving further forward, thereby preventing the wire controller 100 from dislodging from the receiving groove 201 and reducing the risk of the wire controller 100 falling off the first mounting base 200 due to collision.

[0055] Reference Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second latch 423 is a straight plate structure with an inclined surface 4231 that slopes downwards from back to front. The end of the second lug 413 abuts against the inclined surface 4231, thereby restricting the forward movement of the wire controller 100. It should be noted that the second latch 423 is an elastic structure, capable of a certain amount of displacement relative to the first mounting base 200. Specifically, when disassembling the wire controller 100, the user can insert a tool into the fixing groove 120 and abut against the inclined surface 4231, and rotate the second latch 423 towards the front with the second lug 413 facing away from it, thereby disengaging the second lug 413 from the inclined surface 4231 and allowing the second latch 423 to disengage from the fixing groove 120. It should be noted that after the second latch 423 is removed from the fixing groove 120, the first latch 422 can also disengage from the first lug 412, thus enabling the wire controller 100 to be removed from the first mounting base 200.

[0056] Similarly, refer to Figure 11 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, when the wire controller 100 moves forward under the action of an external force, the contact between the step surface 4221 and the mating surface 4121 can limit the wire controller 100 from moving further forward, thereby preventing the second mounting base 210 from dislodging from the fixing groove 120 and reducing the risk of the wire controller 100 falling off the second mounting base 210 due to collision.

[0057] Reference Figure 12 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, when disassembling the wired controller 100, the user can insert a tool into the fixing groove 120 and abut it against the inclined surface 4231, and rotate the second latch 423 away from the second lug 413 towards the front, thereby disengaging the second lug 413 from the inclined surface 4231 and allowing the second latch 423 to disengage from the fixing groove 120. It should be noted that after the second latch 423 is removed from the fixing groove 120, the first latch 422 can also disengage from the first lug 412, thus enabling the wired controller 100 to be removed from the second mounting base 210.

[0058] Reference Figure 13 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the front side of the housing 101 is provided with a mounting hole 1011. Specifically, the housing 101 includes a panel 102 on the front side, wherein the panel 102 includes a main body 1023 and a decorative panel 1024, which can be connected by snap-fit. The mounting hole 1011 is formed in the decorative panel 1024. Specifically, the mounting hole 1011 is provided through the decorative panel 1024 in the front-rear direction. The first mounting seat 200 is installed at the mounting hole 1011. The main body 1023 has a clearance hole 1025 with a cross-sectional area larger than that of the mounting hole 1011 at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 1011, so that the first mounting seat 200 can pass through and avoid interference with it.

[0059] It is understood that in this embodiment of the present invention, the first fixing part 320 and the first connecting part 310 constitute a first connecting structure 300, and the second fixing part 420 and the second connecting part 410 constitute a second connecting structure 400. The first connecting structure 300 and the second connecting structure 400 refer to mechanical connection units capable of achieving a stable connection between the first mounting base 200 and the wired controller 100. (Refer to...) Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, when the wired controller 100 is installed on the first mounting base 200, the mounting hole 1011 exposes the control panel 110 for user operation. Furthermore, to facilitate user disassembly of the wired controller 100, the mounting hole 1011 also exposes the first connection structure 300 and / or the second connection structure 400.

[0060] It should be noted that in some technical solutions, the wired controller 100 is often fixed inside the device with screws, forcing users to disassemble the device first to remove the controller 100 for quick disassembly, making the entire process complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, referring to... Figure 14 As shown, in one example, the mounting hole 1011 exposes the second connection structure 400 located on the opposite lower side. In this way, when disassembling the wired controller 100, the user does not need to remove the panel 102 first, but can directly operate on the second connection structure 400 to easily complete the disassembly of the wired controller 100, greatly simplifying the disassembly steps of the wired controller 100.

[0061] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 14As shown in this embodiment of the invention, along the radial direction of the mounting hole 1011, the inner wall of the mounting hole 1011 and the peripheral wall of the wired controller 100 are spaced apart. It can be understood that the radial spacing of the mounting hole 1011 refers to a radial gap between the inner wall of the mounting hole 1011 and the peripheral wall of the wired controller 100. Specifically, this can be achieved by designing the inner diameter of the mounting hole 1011 to be larger than the outer diameter of the peripheral wall of the wired controller 100. Based on this, the second connecting structure 400 can be disposed between the inner wall of the mounting hole 1011 and the peripheral wall of the wired controller 100, placing the second connecting structure 400 in the visible area on the front side of the housing 101, allowing the user to operate directly from the front of the housing 101.

[0062] Combination Figure 15 and Figure 16 It is understood that, in one example, the second connecting portion 410 of the second connecting structure 400 is configured as the first connecting hole 430, and the second fixing portion 420 is configured as the second connecting hole 440. When the wired controller 100 is installed on the first mounting base 200, the first connecting hole 430 and the second connecting hole 440 are interconnected, and the axes of the first connecting hole 430 and the second connecting hole 440 coincide, with the axes inclined downwards from back to front, providing conditions for the installation of fasteners. In this embodiment, the opening of the first connecting hole 430 is angled forward, so that when the user looks at the control panel 110 at eye level, the control panel 110 can block the opening of the first connecting hole 430, thereby improving the neatness and consistency of the appearance.

[0063] Reference Figure 14 As shown, when fixing the wired controller 100, the user can look up from below the wired controller 100, thus directly seeing the first connecting hole 430. Then, the fastener is passed through the first connecting hole 430 and the second connecting hole 440 in sequence to complete the assembly of the wired controller 100. In one example, the fastener is a screw, the first connecting hole 430 is a through slot for the screw to pass through, and the second connecting hole 440 is a threaded hole for threaded engagement with the screw.

[0064] Reference Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting base 200 and the housing 101 are detachably connected. For example, they can be connected by screws or by snap-fit. The rear side of the first mounting base 200 is provided with at least two mounting slots 202. The mounting slots 202 are recessed structures located on the rear side of the first mounting base 200, and can specifically be rectangular slots. In this embodiment, the wired controller assembly 1000 also includes at least two magnetic members 203, which are correspondingly snapped into the at least two mounting slots 202.

[0065] It is understood that in this embodiment of the invention, at least a portion of the housing 101 is configured to magnetically engage with the magnetic member 203. In one example, the housing 101 is made of metal. Therefore, when a user or maintenance personnel removes the wired controller 100 connected to the first mounting base 200 from the panel 102, the first mounting base 200 can be magnetically attached to the surface of the housing 101 via the magnetic member 203, or it can be attached to other metal parts or equipment, thus effectively solving the problem of temporary placement of the wired controller 100 during maintenance.

[0066] It should be noted that the HVAC equipment 2000 contains cold air. To prevent the cold air from directly contacting the wired controller 100, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the wired controller assembly 1000 further includes a thermal insulation component 500, which is disposed on the rear side of the first mounting base 200. It should be noted that the thermal insulation component 500 refers to a physical structure with heat insulation properties, which can be implemented using polyurethane foam or fiberglass material.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the insulation component 500 can completely cover the rear surface of the first mounting base 200, specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 16 It is understood that the front side of the insulation component 500 is provided with an insulation groove 510 that matches the shape of the first mounting base 200. When the first mounting base 200 is located in the insulation groove 510, the insulation component 500 can separate the first mounting base 200 from the inner cavity of the housing 101, thereby reducing the heat exchange between the wired controller 100 and the cold air.

[0068] Reference Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the rear surface of the panel 102 is provided with a slot 1021 and a third connecting hole 1022. Specifically, the slot 1021 and the third connecting hole 1022 are respectively formed on both sides of the mounting hole 1011 in the left-right direction. Correspondingly, the first mounting base 200 is provided with a second latch 204 and a fourth connecting hole 205. It can be understood that when assembling the first mounting base 200, the second latch 204 is first inserted into the slot 1021, and then the second mounting base 210 can be pushed to rotate around the connection point, thereby aligning the third connecting hole 1022 and the fourth connecting hole 205. Then, the installation of the first mounting base 200 is completed by connecting the third connecting hole 1022 and the fourth connecting hole 205 with fasteners.

[0069] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device 2000, including the wired controller assembly 1000 described in the above embodiment. Specifically, the HVAC device 2000 can be a heat pump device, a central air conditioning system, or other household appliances; this embodiment does not limit this to such devices.

[0070] The HVAC equipment 2000 of this embodiment adopts the wired controller assembly 1000 of the above embodiment. By optimizing the structural design of the wired controller assembly 1000, users can flexibly choose the placement location of the wired controller 1000 according to their own needs and living scenarios. Users do not need to walk back and forth between the living area and the equipment installation area to operate the equipment, which reduces the difficulty of controlling the HVAC equipment 2000. The fixed installation method of the wired controller 100 avoids the problem of forgetting or losing the wired controller 100 due to random placement after the user removes it, reducing the possibility of losing the wired controller 100 and thus reducing the use cost of the HVAC equipment 2000. In addition, it also avoids equipment damage or accidental falling due to random placement.

[0071] Since the HVAC equipment 2000 adopts all the technical solutions of the wired controller assembly 1000 of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
