Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a door panel mounting structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and assembly process of vertical air conditioners, the door panel movement mechanism, as the core component for realizing the opening and closing function of the door panel, is directly related to the overall operational stability and appearance assembly precision of the air conditioner through its precise installation and fixing with the door panel.

[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses a multi-screw connection method for installing and fixing the door panel and the moving mechanism of a vertical air conditioner. The specific installation process needs to be carried out in two steps: First, the operator needs to align the positioning post on the door panel with the positioning hole on the moving mechanism and insert it to complete the initial positioning; then, the two need to be further fixed by tightening the screws. During this process, the operator needs to use both hands to take the screws and screwdrivers and screw them into the corresponding positions one by one.

[0004] However, due to the typically large length of door panels, their weight is relatively high and their overall rigidity is unevenly distributed. After initial positioning (i.e., the positioning pins are inserted into the positioning holes), the lack of a temporary fixing structure to limit the door panel's movement means that when operators remove their hands from the door panel to retrieve screws and screwdrivers, the door panel is prone to shifting due to its own weight or slight external contact, causing the positioning pins on the door panel to dislodge from the positioning holes in the moving mechanism. Once the positioning pins dislodge, the screw holes in the door panel and the screw holes in the moving mechanism cannot maintain precise alignment. Operators must readjust the door panel position and re-insert the positioning pins, increasing the complexity of the operation and leading to repeated installation steps. Utility Model Content

In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a door panel mounting structure, including: The door panel 10 has a first mounting part at the upper inner end and a second mounting part at the lower inner end. The upper motion mechanism 11 is provided with a first mating part, and the first mounting part is snapped into the first mating part; The lower motion mechanism 12 is provided with a second mating part, which is configured to connect with the corresponding second mounting part before the first mating part to perform initial positioning of the door panel 10.

[0025] This utility model eliminates the use and operation of screws. The door panel 10 is fixed by engaging with the upper moving mechanism 11 and the lower moving mechanism 12, which simplifies the overall installation structure and operation process and improves assembly efficiency. This door panel installation structure can be applied to vertical air conditioners. Since the door panel 10 is relatively long, one end can be fixed first, and then the other end. Although it is still a step-by-step process, the door panel 10 and the moving mechanism are easier to position and fix. Compared with the existing solution, it not only saves costs by eliminating the use of multiple screws, but also enables rapid installation and saves overall installation time. When installing the door panel 10, the second mounting part and the second mating part cooperate to achieve the initial positioning of the door panel 10. At this time, the installation position of the door panel 10 is determined, which can prevent the door panel 10 from shifting and affecting the subsequent installation process, and provides reliable conditions for the precise positioning and connection of the first mounting part and the first mating part. Moreover, the advantage of positioning the lower end of the door panel 10 before the upper end is that after the lower end is fixed, the staff can easily operate the higher first mounting part and the first mating part without bending over or squatting, providing easier and more convenient operating conditions and improving the assembly experience.

[0026] The second mounting part and the second mating part can be fixed by means of snap-fit ​​or plug-in, depending on actual needs, so as to achieve quick and accurate positioning of the lower end of the door panel 10.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second mating part and the second mounting part are inserted into each other. For example, one of the second mating part and the second mounting part is provided with a plug-in buckle 13 and the other is provided with a plug-in hole 14. Since it is installed at a lower position at the bottom of the door panel 10, the plug-in structure allows the operator to operate without bending over, which can reduce the difficulty of operation and improve the assembly experience.

[0028] In one embodiment, the second mating part includes two horizontally spaced plug buckles 13, and the second mounting part includes two spaced plug holes 14, wherein the plug buckles 13 are configured to be inserted into the plug holes 14 from bottom to top.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, during installation, the worker can hold the door panel 10 and insert the snap-fit ​​13 into the snap-fit ​​hole 14 from above, which conforms to conventional operating habits and facilitates quick insertion and positioning of the lower end of the door panel 10. The cooperation of the two snap-fit ​​13s and two snap-fit ​​holes 14 optimizes the positioning effect of the lower end of the door panel 10, preventing the door panel 10 from rotating or shaking, ensuring that the door panel 10 remains in an accurate installation position, and guaranteeing the subsequent installation accuracy and effect. The door panel 10 is installed from the inside of the air conditioner housing 23. After the lower end of the door panel 10 is fixed, the upper end of the door panel 10 can temporarily rest against the upper motion mechanism 11, thus preventing the door panel 10 from moving forward, backward, left, or right, ensuring the accuracy of the overall installation position of the door panel 10.

[0030] Because the door panel 10 is relatively long and has a certain weight, to improve the support effect after the lower end of the door panel 10 is fixed, the plug-in buckle 13 and the plug-in hole 14 can be set with a certain length or height vertically to increase the contact area between the two and improve the stability of the lower end of the door panel 10 after it is fixed. Figure 2 As shown, in one example, after the lower end of the door panel 10 is installed in place, the top end of the snap fastener 13 extends out of the snap hole 14. Under the limiting effect of the snap fastener 13, the snap hole 14 is less likely to tilt backward or wobble left or right, thus improving the reliability of the door panel 10's positioning. It is understandable that in other examples, the top end of the snap fastener 13 can also be flush with the top surface of the snap hole 14, which can also effectively strengthen the support and limit the position.

[0031] Furthermore, the snap fastener 13 may include a snap-fit ​​piece, with vertical ribs protruding away from the snap-fit ​​piece on both sides, making the snap fastener 13 simple in structure and possessing a certain structural strength. Correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​hole 14 may be a square snap-fit ​​hole to meet the snap-fit ​​requirements of the snap fastener 13. The snap fastener 13 and the snap-fit ​​hole 14 may, for example, use an interference fit to improve the fixing reliability. The number of snap fasteners 13 and snap-fit ​​holes 14 is not limited to two; one, three, or more may also be provided.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the lower motion mechanism 12 is provided with a positioning seat 15, and the insertion buckle 13 protrudes from the positioning seat 15, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the positioning seat 15 extends in an arc shape and has a certain thickness or width. The lower end of the door panel 10 is provided with a positioning platform 16. The insertion hole 14 passes through the positioning platform 16 vertically. The positioning platform 16 also extends in an arc shape so as to match and insert with the positioning seat 15.

[0033] The positioning base 15 is also provided with at least one insertion block 151, which is located adjacent to the insertion buckle 13. The positioning platform 16 is provided with an insertion slot corresponding to the insertion block 151. By providing the insertion block 151 and the insertion slot, the positioning area at the lower end of the door panel 10 is increased, while ensuring that the positioning platform 16 is stably inserted into the positioning base 15, preventing the door panel 10 from wobbling back and forth or left and right, and facilitating the precise alignment and installation of the first mounting part and the first mating part. Figure 5 In the example, there are three insertion blocks 151 between the two insertion buckles 13 and on the other side of each insertion buckle 13. Correspondingly, the positioning table 16 has three insertion slots for the three insertion blocks 151 to be inserted one by one.

[0034] Although the above embodiments provide examples of the second mating part being a plug-in buckle 13 and the second mounting part being a plug-in hole 14, this is not intended to limit the mounting structure. In other examples, the second mating part may also be a plug-in hole 14 and the second mounting part may be a plug-in buckle 13.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first mating part includes a positioning post 17, and the first mounting part includes a positioning hole 18 that is inserted into and mated with the positioning post 17.

[0036] With the lower end of the door panel 10 securely supported and positioned, the upper end of the door panel 10 can be quickly and accurately installed using a simple installation structure. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning post 17 and positioning hole 18 are connected by an insertion, resulting in a simple structure and reliable installation, enabling rapid positioning of the upper part of the door panel 10. With the lower part of the door panel 10 already initially positioned, the positioning post 17 and positioning hole 18 can be naturally aligned, eliminating the need for further adjustments and avoiding the cumbersome operation caused by repeatedly adjusting the position of the door panel 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the first mating part includes two snap fasteners 19, which are located on the horizontal sides of the positioning post 17 respectively, and the first mounting part includes two snap holes 20 corresponding to the two snap fasteners 19.

[0038] By using various combination types of installation structures, the positioning and fixing of the door panel 10 can be achieved simultaneously, ensuring the final installation of the door panel 10 is stable and reliable. The positioning post 17 and the two snap-fit ​​buckles 19 are fixed at three points, which can improve the installation firmness of the door panel 10 and prevent the door panel 10 from loosening. During installation, the positioning post 17 can be inserted into the positioning hole 18 and the snap-fit ​​buckle 19 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 20 simultaneously, improving installation efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the upper end of the door panel 10 is provided with a mounting platform 21, and positioning holes 18 and snap-fit ​​holes 20 are provided on the mounting platform 21. The mounting platform 21 extends in an arc shape, and the upper motion mechanism 11 is provided with an arc-shaped assembly surface 22. Positioning pins 17 and snap-fit ​​buckles 19 are provided on the assembly surface 22. During installation, the mounting platform 21 abuts against the assembly surface 22 from the inside of the housing 23, so that the positioning pins 17 and positioning holes 18, and the snap-fit ​​buckles 19 and snap-fit ​​holes 20 cooperate in the front and rear direction to achieve installation.

[0040] In one embodiment, the end of the positioning post 17 facing the positioning hole 18 is provided with a first guide slope 171. The first guide slope 171 is arranged circumferentially, so that the end of the positioning post 17 forms a conical (such as a frustum) structure, which facilitates quick alignment and insertion into the positioning hole 18.

[0041] Furthermore, the end of the snap fastener 19 facing the snap hole 20 is provided with a second guide slope 191, which facilitates the snap fastener 19 to be easily and quickly inserted into the snap hole 20.

[0042] Furthermore, the snap fastener 19 includes two L-shaped claws 192, which are bent in opposite directions. The claws 192 are configured to snap onto the wall surface of the outer edge of the snap hole 20. The claw 192 structure can prevent the snap fastener 19 from coming out of the snap hole 20 and improve the installation firmness.

[0043] During installation, while aligning the first mounting part and the first mating part, press the door panel 10 simultaneously. At this time, the positioning post 17 is inserted into the positioning hole 18, and the snap fastener 19 is snapped into the snap fastener 20. The positioning post 17 and the positioning hole 18 are interference-fitted, the snap fastener 19 and the snap fastener 20 are interference-fitted, and the claw 192 is snapped onto the wall surface of the outer edge of the snap fastener 20, thus completing the fixing of the door panel 10.

[0044] It is understandable that the above-mentioned positioning pins 17 / positioning holes 18, snap fasteners 19 / snap fasteners 20 can be set to other numbers, and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0045] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including a housing 23 and a door panel mounting structure as described in the above embodiments and examples, wherein the door panel mounting structure is mounted on the housing 23.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the housing 23 has an overall U-shaped structure along its height. The upper motion mechanism 11 and the lower motion mechanism 12 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the inner space surrounded by the housing 23. An opening 231 is provided in the middle of the front side of the housing 23, and the door panel 10 is located at the opening 231. During installation, the door panel 10 is operated from the inside of the housing 23 and cooperates with the upper motion mechanism 11 and the lower motion mechanism 12 for installation. During use, the door panel 10 rotates under the drive of the upper motion mechanism 11 and the lower motion mechanism 12 to realize the opening and closing function of the door panel 10.

[0047] The door panel mounting structure and air conditioner provided by this utility model eliminate the use and operation of screws. The door panel 10 is fixed by engaging with the upper moving mechanism 11 and the lower moving mechanism 12, which simplifies the overall installation structure and operation process and improves assembly efficiency. Specifically, during installation, the door panel 10 is initially positioned by the cooperation of the second mounting part and the second mating part. At this point, the installation position of the door panel 10 is determined, preventing displacement of the door panel 10 from affecting subsequent installation processes and providing reliable conditions for precise positioning and connection of the first mounting part and the first mating part. Furthermore, the advantage of positioning the lower end of the door panel 10 before the upper end is that after the lower end is fixed, workers can easily operate the higher-positioned first mounting part and first mating part without bending or squatting, providing easier and more convenient operating conditions and improving the assembly experience.

[0048] 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.
