Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] As part of the inventive concept of this utility model, before describing the embodiments of this utility model, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for the unstable placement of cabinet air conditioners in related technologies, and obtain the technical solution of the embodiments of this application through reasonable analysis.

[0021] Air conditioners, as an indispensable home appliance in modern life, primarily regulate indoor temperature through energy transfer. They also offer multiple functions such as dehumidification, ventilation, and air purification, and are widely used in homes, businesses, and industries. Among these, floor-standing air conditioners, due to their high power and strong airflow, are commonly used in homes and small offices. The mainstream placement method for floor-standing air conditioners is on the floor or on a support platform.

[0022] In related technologies, the control buttons and evaporator are located at the top of the floor-standing air conditioner, resulting in a lighter bottom and a heavier top. Therefore, pressing the buttons can cause the air conditioner to become unstable or even tip over.

[0023] To address this issue, this utility model provides a support device for air conditioners. By increasing the contact area between the support device and the support surface, it solves the problem of instability or even tipping over when the top of a cabinet air conditioner is pressed.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] An embodiment of this utility model provides a support device 5 for an air conditioner 3, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown. The support device 5 includes a housing 1. The housing 1 forms the outer shell of the support device 5, and is usually a hollow box structure. The appearance of the housing 1 can be designed as needed and is not limited here; the side of the housing 1 has a recessed cavity 11.

[0026] The support device 5 also includes a telescopic component 2. The telescopic component 2 is slidably connected to the cavity 11 along a first direction, such as... Figures 4 to 5 As shown.

[0027] The telescopic component 2 can slide and be housed inside the cavity 11 in the first direction; the telescopic component 2 can also slide in the first direction so that at least a portion of the structure of the telescopic component 2 extends out of the housing 1 and abuts against the support surface 4.

[0028] The support surface 4 is parallel to the bottom surface of the shell 1, or the support surface 4 is parallel to the side surface of the shell 1.

[0029] It should be noted that the support surface 1 is parallel to the bottom surface of the shell 1. In this embodiment of the application, the support surface 1 specifically refers to the ground or the upper surface of the platform support placed on the ground.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, the support surface 4 is parallel to the side of the shell 1. Specifically, the support surface 1 refers to the wall surface.

[0031] One of the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11 is provided with a limit structure 21 at its end along the first direction to limit the relative sliding between the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11.

[0032] As an feasible technical solution, the telescopic component 2 is provided with a limiting structure 21 at its end along the first direction to limit the relative sliding between the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11.

[0033] Specifically, as the telescopic component 2 slides along the first direction and at least part of the structure extends to the outside of the housing 1, the distance between the limiting structure 21 and the end of the cavity 11 gets closer and closer until they come into contact, thus restricting the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11 from continuing to slide relative to each other.

[0034] As another feasible technical solution, a limit structure 21 is provided at the end of the cavity 11 along the first direction to limit the relative sliding between the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11.

[0035] Specifically, as the telescopic component 2 slides along the first direction and at least part of the structure extends to the outside of the housing 1, the distance between the limiting structure 21 and the end of the telescopic component 2 gets closer and closer until they come into contact, thus restricting the telescopic component 2 from continuing to slide relative to the cavity 11.

[0036] In the above technical solution, by setting the telescopic component 2 to slide out from the cavity 11 inside the support device 5 and abut against the ground or wall, the contact area with the ground or wall is increased, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioner. Furthermore, when not in use, the telescopic component 2 can be slid back into the cavity 11 for safekeeping. Simultaneously, by setting a limiting structure 21, the relative sliding of the telescopic component 2 and the cavity 11 is restricted, preventing the telescopic component 2 from completely sliding out of the cavity 11 inside the support device 5, thus avoiding the need for reinstallation.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a slide 12 is provided inside the cavity 11. The specific structure of the slide 12 is not limited in this embodiment; it can be any track that provides relative sliding, such as a groove or rail.

[0038] Furthermore, the telescopic component 2 is provided with a slide rail that can extend into the slide groove or a slide groove that can accommodate the slide rail, so that the telescopic component 2 can be slidably connected to the slide rail 12 along the first direction.

[0039] The limiting structure 21 is disposed at the end of the telescopic assembly 2 along the first direction, and is disposed on the side close to the interior of the housing 1. As the telescopic assembly 2 slides along the first direction and at least part of the structure extends to the outside of the housing 1, the distance between the limiting structure 21 and the end of the cavity 11 gets closer and closer until they abut each other, restricting the telescopic assembly 2 from continuing to slide relative to the cavity 11. This improves the problem of the telescopic assembly 2 completely sliding out of the cavity 11 inside the support device 5 and thus needing to be reinstalled.

[0040] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 21 has a pressing surface 212. For example... Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the extrusion surface 212 is disposed on one side of the slide 12 along the second direction, which intersects with the first direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the intersection of the second and first directions refers to the formation of an angle A between them. The value of angle A ranges from 0° to 180°. For example, the value of angle A can be 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120°, 135°, 150°, 165°, or 175°, with a preferred angle A being 90°.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the limiting structure 21 can extend or compress along the second direction. Specifically, when the telescopic component 2 is completely outside the support device 5, during the process of installing the telescopic component 2 into the cavity 11, the pressing surface 212 of the limiting structure 21 contacts the inner wall of the cavity 11, and the pressing surface 212 of the limiting structure 21 is compressed along the second direction by the pressing of the inner wall of the cavity 11.

[0042] After the telescopic component 2 is fully installed inside the cavity 11, the limiting structure 21 is located outside the cavity 11. Without the compression of the inner wall of the cavity 11, the limiting structure 21 extends along the second direction, so that the limiting structure 21 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the cavity 11 along the second direction.

[0043] In addition, the limiting structure 21 also has a first engaging surface 211, and the slide rail 12 has a second engaging surface 121, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first card contact surface 211 and the second card contact surface 121 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0044] As at least part of the telescopic component 2 extends outside the housing 1, the distance between the first engaging surface 211 and the second engaging surface 121 decreases until the first engaging surface 211 and the second engaging surface 121 come into contact, thereby restricting the telescopic component 2 from continuing to slide relative to the cavity 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 2 has a groove 22 at its end along the first direction, and the groove 22 is located on one side near the interior of the housing 1. An elastic element 23 is disposed between the groove 22 and the limiting structure 21. In this embodiment, the specific type of the elastic element 23 is not limited; it only needs to be able to extend or compress, such as a spring or rubber. In this embodiment, a spring is used as an example of the specific type of elastic element 23 for explanation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 21 can be integrally formed with the telescopic component 2, and the limiting structure 21 is relatively thin to maintain elasticity, allowing it to extend or compress along the second direction. The other parts of the telescopic component 2, excluding the limiting structure 21, are relatively thick to maintain their original shape and prevent easy deformation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 2 includes a support portion 24 and an inclined portion 25. For example... Figures 12 to 13 As shown, the support part 24 is used to abut against the support surface 4 to increase the contact area between the support device 5 and the support surface 4, thereby improving the stability of the support device 5.

[0048] The inclined part 25 is connected to the support part 24. When at least part of the telescopic component 2 extends outside the housing 1 and contacts the support surface 4, the inclined part 25 is connected between the support part 24 and the side of the housing 1.

[0049] In addition, a receiving groove 241 is provided on the side of the support part 24 opposite to the support surface 4. For example... Figure 14 As shown, the function of the receiving groove 241 is to provide internal space to accommodate other components. The shape of the receiving groove 241 can be designed as needed and is not limited here.

[0050] When the telescopic component 2 is housed inside the housing 1, the inclined portion 25 is housed in the receiving groove 241. To facilitate the placement of the inclined portion 25 in the receiving groove 241 and the contact between the inclined portion 25 and the support device 5, the inclined portion 25 can be configured as a telescopic rod structure to facilitate the extension and retraction of the inclined portion 25.

[0051] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 2 forms an angle with the side of the housing 1, so that at least a portion of the telescopic component 2 extends outside the housing 1 and abuts against the support surface 4. When the telescopic component 2, the side of the housing 1, and the support surface 4 together form a triangle, thereby enhancing the stability of the support device 5. The support surface 4 is parallel to the bottom surface of the housing 1.

[0052] like Figure 15 A suction cup 242 is provided on the side of the support part 24 facing the support surface 4 to improve the adsorption force between the support part 24 and the support surface 4, thereby enhancing the stability of the support device 5.

[0053] The support surface 4 is parallel to the bottom surface of the shell 1, or the support surface 4 is parallel to the side surface of the shell 1.

[0054] To facilitate the extension component 2 being pulled out of the housing 1, the extension component 2 may also be provided with a handle or a concave structure for easy gripping by the user to apply pushing or pulling force to the extension component 2.

[0055] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an air conditioner 3. The air conditioner 3 includes the support device 5 from any of the embodiments described above.

[0056] Specifically, the support device 5 is located below the air conditioner 3 to improve the stability of the air conditioner 3.

[0057] 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.
