[0030] This application provides an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing 100, a panel 200, and a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a stop assembly 300 and a latching assembly 400, which are respectively disposed on the housing 100 and the panel 200. The stop assembly 300 includes a stop rod 310, which is reciprocally translatable along a first direction and passes through the housing 100. During the translation along the first direction, the stop rod 310 has a stop position and a clearance position. The latching assembly 400 includes a locking rod 410, which is reciprocally translatable along a second direction and passes through the panel 200. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The locking lever 410 has a locked position and an unlocked position during its translation along the second direction. When the locking lever 410 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the locking lever 410 can push the stop lever 310 from the stop position to the clearance position. When the locking lever 410 moves to the locked position, the stop lever 310 can return to the stop position to lock the locking lever 410 in the locked position. When the locking lever 410 is in the locked position, when the locking lever 410 moves along the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position, the locking lever 410 can push the stop lever 310 from the stop position to the clearance position to return the locking lever 410 to the unlocked position.

[0031] The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has a stop rod 310 that can be reciprocated and translated along a first direction through the housing 100, and a locking rod 410 that can be reciprocated and translated along a second direction through the panel 200. The stop rod 310 has a stop position and a clearance position during translation, and the locking rod 410 has a locked position and an unlocked position during translation. When the locking rod 410 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, it can push the stop rod 310 from the stop position to the clearance position. When lever 410 moves to the locked position, stop lever 310 returns to the stop position to lock lever 410 in the locked position, thereby locking panel 200 and housing 100. When lever 410 is in the locked position, as lever 410 moves in the direction from unlocked to locked, lever 410 pushes stop lever 310 from the stop position to the clearance position, allowing lever 410 to return to the unlocked position, thus unlocking panel 200 and housing 100. This application achieves locking and unlocking of panel 200 and housing 100 simply by pressing lever 410 to move it in the second direction, simplifying operation and making installation and removal of panel 200 more convenient.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the stop rod 310 is provided with a stop boss 311, and one end of the locking rod 410 is provided with a locking buckle 411. When the locking rod 410 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the locking buckle 411 can push the stop rod 310 to the clearance position. When the locking rod 410 moves to the locked position, the stop rod 310 can return to the stop position, so that the stop boss 311 and the locking buckle 411 engage to lock the locking rod 410 in the locked position. This application can lock the locking rod 410 in the locked position by engaging the stop boss 311 on the stop rod 310 and the locking buckle 411 on the locking rod 410, so that the panel 200 can be reliably installed on the housing 100.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking lever 410 is also provided with an unlocking component 420 and a first limiting protrusion 412. The first limiting protrusion 412 and the locking latch 411 are spaced apart along the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position. The unlocking component 420 is slidably sleeved on the locking lever 410 along the second direction and is located between the first limiting protrusion 412 and the locking latch 411. When the locking lever 410 is in the locked position, when the locking lever 410 moves along the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position, the unlocking component 420 can push the stop lever 310 from the stop position to the avoidance position, so as to disengage the stop protrusion 311 from the locking latch 411, so that the locking lever 410 can be reset to the unlocked position. By providing an unlocking component 420 and a first limiting protrusion 412 on the locking lever 410, this application can unlock the locking lever 410, so that the panel 200 can be removed from the housing 100.

[0034] The first limiting protrusion 412 can be an annular limiting protrusion arranged around the circumference of the locking rod 410. Specifically, when the locking buckle 411 engages with the stop protrusion 311, that is, when the locking rod 410 is locked in the locked position, the stop protrusion 311 is located between the locking buckle 411 and the unlocking member 420. When the locking rod 410 is in the locked position, when the locking rod 410 moves in the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position, the first limiting protrusion 412 will push the unlocking member 420 to also move in the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position, and can push the stop rod 310 from the stop position to the avoidance position, so as to disengage the stop protrusion 311 from the locking buckle 411, so that the locking rod 410 can be reset to the unlocked position, thereby realizing the unlocking of the locking rod 410.

[0035] Optional, such as Figure 4As shown, the stop boss 311 has a first inclined surface 3111 and a second inclined surface 3112 at both ends along the second direction, and the locking buckle 411 has a first mating surface 4111 on the side opposite to the unlocking member 420. The first mating surface 4111 is an arc surface (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown) or a bevel, the unlocking component 420 has a second mating surface 421 on the side opposite to the locking buckle 411, the second mating surface 421 being an arc surface (as shown) Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown) or a bevel, the unlocking component 420 has a third mating surface 422 on the side facing the locking buckle 411, the third mating surface 422 being an arc surface or a bevel (as shown). Figure 8 and Figure 10 (As shown); when the locking lever 410 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the first mating surface 4111 abuts against the first inclined surface 3111 to push the stop lever 310 from the stopped position to the avoidance position; when the locking lever 410 is in the locked position, when the locking lever 410 moves in the direction from the unlocked position to the locked position, the third mating surface 422 abuts against the first inclined surface 3111 to push the stop lever 310 from the stopped position to the avoidance position; when the stop boss 311 is disengaged from the locking buckle 411, when the locking lever 410 moves in the direction from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second mating surface 421 abuts against the second inclined surface 3112 to push the stop lever 310 from the stopped position to the avoidance position, so that the locking lever 410 can return to the unlocked position.

[0036] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the unlocking component 420 includes two arc-shaped unlocking portions 423, the two ends of which are joined together to form a ring-shaped unlocking component 420. This configuration facilitates the sliding placement of the unlocking component 420 between the locking buckle 411 and the first limiting protrusion 412 along the second direction, simplifying the manufacturing process and making it easy to operate. For example, the two ends of the two unlocking portions 423 can be welded or bonded together to form a ring-shaped unlocking component 420.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the stop assembly 300 further includes a first reset member 320, which is used to reset the stop rod 310 to the stop position. By setting the first reset member 320 to automatically reset the stop rod 310 to the stop position, this application eliminates the need for manual reset of the stop rod 310, thus improving operational convenience.

[0038] Optional, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a first mounting hole 101 and a mounting groove 102. The axial direction of the first mounting hole 101 is parallel to the first direction. The first mounting hole 101 communicates with the mounting groove 102. The opening of the mounting groove 102 faces the panel 200, and the locking buckle 411 is located in the mounting groove 102. The stop assembly 300 also includes a first limiting cover 330, which is fixed to the end of the first mounting hole 101 away from the mounting groove 102. The stop rod 310 passes through the first limiting cover 330 and the first mounting hole 101. The stop boss 311 is provided at the end of the stop rod 310 near the mounting groove 102. The first reset member 320 is a first spring, which is sleeved on the stop rod 310. The two ends of the first spring are respectively connected to the first limiting cover 330 and the stop boss 311. In this way, the elastic restoring force of the first spring can be used to drive the stop rod 310 to reset to the stop position, which is simple in structure.

[0039] Specifically, the second spring can be a compression spring, tension spring, or other elastic component. When the stop boss 311 or the unlocking member 420 pushes the stop rod 310 from the stop position to the avoidance position, the first spring will undergo elastic deformation; when the pushing force of the stop boss 311 or the unlocking member 420 on the stop rod 310 disappears, the lock rod 410 will return to the unlocked position under the elastic restoring force of the second spring.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the latch assembly 400 further includes a second reset member 430, which is used to cause the locking lever 410 to reset to the unlocked position. This application improves operational convenience by setting the second reset member 430 to automatically reset the locking lever 410 to the unlocked position, thus eliminating the need for manual reset of the locking lever 410.

[0041] Optional, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the panel 200 has a second mounting hole 201, the axis of which is parallel to the second direction. The inner wall of the second mounting hole 201 has an annular protrusion 202. The latch assembly 400 also includes a second limiting cover 440, which is fixed to the end of the second mounting hole 201 away from the housing 100. The locking rod 410 passes through the second limiting cover 440 and the second mounting hole 201. A locking buckle 411 is located at the end of the locking rod 410 near the housing 100. The end of the locking rod 410 away from the locking buckle 411 also has a second limiting protrusion 413, which is located inside the second mounting hole 201. The second reset member 430 is a second spring, which is sleeved on the stop rod 310, and both ends of the second spring are connected to the second limiting protrusion 413 and the annular protrusion 202, respectively. Thus, the elastic restoring force of the second spring can be used to reset the locking rod 410 to the unlocked position, resulting in a simple structure.

[0042] Specifically, the second spring can be a compression spring, tension spring, or other elastic component. When the locking lever 410 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the second spring will undergo elastic deformation; when the locking lever 410 is locked in the locked position, when the locking buckle 411 disengages from the stop boss 311, the locking lever 410 will return to the unlocked position under the elastic restoring force of the second spring.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, a shaft arm 210 is provided on the inner side of the panel 200 (i.e., the side of the panel 200 facing the housing 100 in the normal operating state of the air conditioner). A mating hole 103 is provided on the housing 100. The axial direction of both the mating hole 103 and the shaft arm 210 is parallel to a second direction. The shaft arm 210 is inserted into the mating hole 103, and a second mounting hole 201 passes through the shaft arm 210. This application, through the mating of the shaft arm 210 and the mating hole 103, can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity of the panel 200, thereby enhancing the assembly stability and safety between the panel 200 and the middle frame. It is applicable to the assembly of heavy panels 200 with the housing 100, solving the problems of limited load-bearing capacity and easy breakage of the connection structure in the prior art for heavy panels 200. Specifically, when the housing 100 is provided with both the mating hole 103 and the mounting groove 102, the openings of the mating hole 103 and the mounting groove 102 are connected.

[0044] Optionally, the air conditioner can be an integrated air conditioner or a split air conditioner. A split air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, which are connected by pipes. When the air conditioner is a split air conditioner, the casing 100 can be the casing 100 of the indoor unit, and the panel 200 is the panel 200 of the indoor unit.

[0045] The following will be based on Figures 1-10 Taking the air conditioner shown as an example, the specific structure of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application will be described; like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 includes a middle frame, with first mounting holes 101 on the top of both sides of the middle frame along its length, mounting grooves 102 on both sides of the middle frame along its length, and mating holes 103 on the front side of the middle frame; correspondingly, the panel 200 has second mounting holes 201 and shaft arms 210 on both sides of its length. During assembly, the shaft arms 210 are inserted into the mating holes 103, and the panel 200 and the middle frame are initially connected and fixed.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the stop assembly 300 includes a stop rod 310, a first limiting cover 330, and a first reset member 320. The first reset member 320 is a compression spring. One end of the stop rod 310 is provided with a stop boss 311, and the first reset member 320 is sleeved on the stop rod 310. When installing the stop assembly 300 on the middle frame, firstly, the stop rod 310 with the first reset member 320 sleeved on it is placed into the first mounting hole 101, and the stop boss 311 is positioned close to the mounting groove 102. Then, the first limiting cover 330 is installed at the end of the first mounting hole 101 away from the mounting groove 102. The first limiting cover 330 and the first mounting hole 101 are interference-fitted. The two ends of the first reset member 320 abut against the first limiting cover 330 and the stop boss 311 respectively for limiting. After installation, the stop rod 310 is in its maximum extended state under the elastic force of the first reset member 320.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 400 includes a locking rod 410, an unlocking member 420, a second limiting cover 440, and a second reset member 430. The second reset member 430 is a compression spring. The locking rod 410 is provided with a locking buckle 411, a first limiting protrusion 412, and a second limiting protrusion 413. The locking buckle 411, the first limiting protrusion 412, and the second limiting protrusion 413 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the locking rod 410. The unlocking member 420 is slidably sleeved on the locking rod 410 and located between the locking buckle 411 and the first limiting protrusion 412. The second reset member 430 is sleeved on the locking rod 410 and located between the first limiting protrusion 412 and the second limiting protrusion 413. When installing the latch assembly 400 on the panel 200, first assemble the unlocking member 420 and the second reset member 430 onto the locking rod 410, then assemble the entire latch assembly 400 into the second mounting hole 201, and finally assemble the second limiting cover 440 for limiting. The two ends of the second reset member 430 abut against the second limiting protrusion 413 and the annular protrusion 202 on the inner wall of the second mounting hole 201 for limiting. In its natural state, the second reset member 430 is in a preliminary compressed state, and the locking rod 410 is in a minimum extended state under the action of the second reset member 430.

[0048] After the locking assembly 400 and the stop assembly 300 are both installed, Figure 8 and Figure 10Taking the orientation shown as an example, when the locking lever 410 is pressed from right to left, the second reset member 430 will be further compressed, causing the locking lever 410 to move toward the stop boss 311. When the first mating surface 4111 of the locking buckle 411 contacts the first inclined surface 3111 of the stop boss 311, further pressing the locking lever 410 can push the stop lever 310 upward (i.e., push the stop lever 310 from the stop position to the avoidance position). At this time, the first reset member 320 is compressed. When the right end face of the locking buckle 411 coincides with the left end face of the first mounting hole 101, the stop rod 310 falls off under the elastic restoring force of the first reset member 320. At this time, the right end face of the locking buckle 411 contacts the left end face of the stop boss 311 (i.e., the locking buckle 411 and the stop boss 311 are engaged), and the locking rod 410 is locked in the locked position. At this time, the middle frame and the panel 200 are in a locked state, and the panel 200 and the middle frame cannot be disassembled. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. With the locking lever 410 in the locked position (i.e., the middle frame and panel 200 are locked), pressing the locking lever 410 from right to left causes the first limiting boss to push the unlocking member 420 forward until the second mating surface 421 of the unlocking member 420 contacts the first inclined surface 3111 of the stop boss 311. Further pressing the locking lever 410 pushes the stop lever 310 upward. When the stop boss 311 passes the left end face of the unlocking member 420, the stop lever 310 falls. At this time, the second inclined surface 3112 of the stop boss 311 contacts the second mating surface 421 of the unlocking member 420. Under the elastic restoring force of the second reset member 430, the locking lever 410 can move the unlocking member 420 to the right (i.e., move to the unlocked position). The unlocking member 420 can push the stop lever 310 upward, allowing the locking lever 410 to reset to the unlocked position. At this time, the middle frame and panel 200 are in the unlocked state, and the panel 200 and middle frame are detachable. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown.
