Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a mounting housing and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As an environmental control device widely used in homes and commercial spaces, the rationality of the air conditioner's installation structure directly affects installation efficiency, operational stability, and ease of maintenance. Among these components, the back panel and base are key parts for ensuring a reliable connection between the indoor unit and the air conditioner.

[0003] However, existing air conditioners use multi-part splicing or non-integrated structures for their back panels and bases, requiring the sequential fixing of multiple components during installation. This involves numerous steps and is time-consuming. Some structures also require various installation tools and rely on high construction precision, demanding a high level of skill from installers. Furthermore, the complex structural design often leads to positioning difficulties, affecting the overall stability and levelness of the installation. This can result in uneven stress or loosening of fixing points during long-term operation, potentially causing the air conditioner to wobble or even detach, affecting safe operation and posing certain safety hazards. In addition, the complex structure increases material costs and assembly difficulty, hindering mass production and rapid installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting housing and air conditioner that are easy and efficient to assemble, effectively improving installation reliability and consistency.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model are implemented as follows: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a mounting housing, comprising: The base includes a first plate and a positioning plate connected together, and a positioning groove is formed between the positioning plate and the first plate. The back plate includes a second plate body and a folded edge connected to each other, the folded edge being embedded in the positioning groove.

[0006] In the above embodiments, the spatial relationship between the first plate and the positioning plate forms a positioning groove to accommodate the folded edge, which not only simplifies the overall assembly process, but also avoids the installation complexity and structural instability caused by traditional multi-part splicing methods. The positioning plate and positioning groove can play a role in the installation positioning of the folded edge, so that the folded edge can be directly embedded into the positioning groove during the assembly process. This allows installers to complete the initial positioning and installation between the back plate and the base without the need for complicated auxiliary tools, which significantly improves the installation efficiency. Furthermore, the installation cooperation between the folded edge and the positioning groove can effectively prevent the back plate from being offset or tilted during installation, thus not only reducing the installation difficulty, but also improving the reliability and consistency of the installation.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the mounting housing further includes fasteners, the first plate is provided with a first mounting hole, the folded edge is provided with a second mounting hole, and when the folded edge is embedded in the positioning groove, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole correspond to each other, and the fastener passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0008] In the above embodiments, when the folded edge is embedded into the positioning groove, the first and second mounting holes of both are also aligned, avoiding the risk of hole misalignment caused by the splicing of multiple parts in the traditional installation method. Therefore, by fasteners passing through the first and second mounting holes, the back plate and the base can achieve a more stable structural connection after completing the positioning fit. This significantly improves the overall stability and vibration resistance of the mounting housing without adding complicated assembly steps, meeting the requirements of the air conditioner for the strength and safety of the installation structure during actual operation.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the positioning plate is located directly above the first mounting hole.

[0010] In the above embodiments, the fasteners can be shielded by a positioning plate after installation, thereby preventing operators from accidentally touching and scratching the fasteners during installation, or causing other installation components to accidentally come into contact with and be damaged by the fasteners.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the fastener is threaded into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0012] In the above embodiments, by using a threaded connection between the fastener and the first and second mounting holes, the connection between the back plate and the base not only has good initial installation accuracy, but also significantly improves structural stability, anti-loosening performance and ease of assembly.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple fasteners, first mounting holes, and second mounting holes. When the folded edge is set in the positioning groove, the multiple first mounting holes correspond one-to-one with the multiple second mounting holes, and the fastener passes through the corresponding first mounting hole and second mounting hole.

[0014] In the above embodiments, multiple fasteners are respectively set in the corresponding first mounting hole and second mounting hole, which not only ensures that a stable overall structure is formed between the back plate and the base, but also further improves the installation tightness between the folded edge and the first plate through the mutual restraint between multiple connection points during the fastening process, preventing the connection from loosening due to assembly deviation or external force disturbance.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of first mounting holes are all located at the edge of the first plate, and the plurality of first mounting holes are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line, and the plurality of second mounting holes are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the folded edge.

[0016] In the above embodiments, multiple first mounting holes are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line, so that the force-bearing distance between each fastener is consistent, thereby forming a uniform force during the fastening process and avoiding local stress concentration or structural deformation caused by uneven hole distribution.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, a boss is provided on the side of the first plate away from the positioning plate, and the first mounting hole is provided on the boss.

[0018] In the above embodiments, by providing a boss on the first plate to increase the thickness of the first plate, the connection area between the fastener and the first plate is increased, thereby effectively improving the installation strength between the fastener and the first plate.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the folded edge is provided with a flange at the second mounting hole, the flange is provided with a threaded inner wall, and the flange extends in a direction away from the folded edge.

[0020] In the above embodiments, the fastener also engages with the threaded inner wall of the flange to increase the connection area between the fastener and the flange, thereby effectively improving the installation strength between the fastener and the first plate.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the end of the fastener is spaced apart from the positioning plate.

[0022] In the above embodiment, in other words, the length of the fastener is less than the sum of the thickness of the first mounting hole and the distance between the first plate and the positioning plate. Therefore, when the fastener is installed, there is a certain gap between its end and the positioning plate, thereby avoiding contact between the fastener and the positioning plate, which could lead to deformation or even damage to the positioning plate.

[0023] Secondly, this utility model provides an air conditioner, including an upper shell, a lower shell, a side panel, and a mounting housing as described in any of the foregoing embodiments. The upper shell, lower shell, side panel, and mounting housing together form an outer shell. The upper shell is provided with an air outlet, and the lower shell is provided with an air inlet.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the mounting housing and air conditioner provided by this utility model embodiment include: the spatial relationship between the first plate and the positioning plate forms a positioning groove to accommodate the folded edge, which not only simplifies the overall assembly process, but also avoids the installation complexity and structural instability brought about by the traditional multi-part splicing method; the positioning plate and the positioning groove can play a role in the installation positioning of the folded edge, so that the folded edge can be directly embedded into the positioning groove during the assembly process, realizing that the installer can complete the initial positioning and installation between the back plate and the base without the need for complicated auxiliary tools, which significantly improves the installation efficiency. In addition, the installation cooperation between the folded edge and the positioning groove can also effectively prevent the back plate from being offset or tilted, thus not only reducing the installation difficulty, but also improving the reliability and consistency of the installation.

[0034] As an environmental control device widely used in homes and commercial spaces, the rationality of the air conditioner's installation structure directly affects installation efficiency, operational stability, and ease of maintenance. Among these components, the back panel and base are key parts for ensuring a reliable connection between the indoor unit and the air conditioner.

[0035] However, existing air conditioners use multi-part splicing or non-integrated structures for their back panels and bases, requiring the sequential fixing of multiple components during installation. This involves numerous steps and is time-consuming. Some structures also require various installation tools and rely on high construction precision, demanding a high level of skill from the installers. Furthermore, the complex structural design often leads to positioning difficulties, affecting the overall stability and levelness of the installation. This can result in uneven stress or loosening of fixing points during long-term operation, potentially causing the air conditioner to wobble or even detach, affecting safe operation and posing certain safety hazards. In addition, the complex structure increases material costs and assembly difficulty, hindering mass production and rapid installation.

[0036] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an air conditioner back panel and base structure that is simplified, easy to install, and has reliable connection, in order to overcome the defects of existing technologies such as complex installation and poor stability, improve installation efficiency and overall operational safety, and meet the application requirements of modern air conditioning products for efficient installation and high reliability.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model embodiment provides a mounting housing 10, including a base 100 and a back plate 200.

[0038] In detail, the base 100 includes a first plate 110 and a positioning plate 120 connected to each other, and a positioning groove 130 is formed between the positioning plate 120 and the first plate 110. The back plate 200 includes a second plate 210 and a folded edge 220 connected to each other, and the folded edge 220 is embedded in the positioning groove 130.

[0039] It should be noted that the first plate 110 and the positioning plate 120 are integrated structures, and the second plate 210 and the folded edge 220 are integrated structures. The positioning groove 130 that accommodates the folded edge 220 is formed by the spatial relationship between the first plate 110 and the positioning plate 120. This not only simplifies the overall assembly process, but also avoids the installation complexity and structural instability caused by the traditional multi-part splicing method.

[0040] Specifically, the positioning plate 120 and the positioning groove 130 can play a role in the installation positioning of the folded edge 220, so that the folded edge 220 can be directly embedded into the positioning groove 130 during the assembly process. This allows the installer to complete the initial positioning and installation between the back plate 200 and the base 100 without the need for complicated auxiliary tools, which significantly improves the installation efficiency. Furthermore, the installation cooperation between the folded edge 220 and the positioning groove 130 can effectively prevent the back plate 200 from being offset or tilted during installation. Therefore, it not only reduces the installation difficulty, but also improves the reliability and consistency of the installation.

[0041] Furthermore, the mounting housing 10 also includes fasteners (not shown in the figure). The first plate 110 is provided with a first mounting hole 111, and the folded edge 220 is provided with a second mounting hole 221. When the folded edge 220 is embedded in the positioning groove 130, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221 correspond to each other, and the fastener passes through the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the folded edge 220 is embedded into the positioning groove 130, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221 of the two are also aligned, avoiding the risk of hole misalignment caused by the splicing of multiple parts in the traditional installation method. Therefore, by fasteners passing through the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221, the back plate 200 and the base 100 can achieve a more stable structural connection on the basis of completing the positioning fit. Thus, without adding complicated assembly steps, the overall stability and vibration resistance of the mounting housing 10 are significantly improved, meeting the requirements of the air conditioner 1 for the strength and safety of the installation structure during actual operation.

[0043] Specifically, in the actual installation process, the back plate 200 is first placed on the ground, the base 100 is placed in a vertical position so that the folded edge 220 is embedded in the positioning groove 130, and then the first plate 110 and the folded edge 220 are tightly fixed with fasteners to complete the assembly.

[0044] Furthermore, the positioning plate 120 is located directly above the first mounting hole 111, that is, the first mounting hole 111 is located on the projection of the positioning plate 120 onto the first plate 110.

[0045] This design allows the fasteners to be shielded by the positioning plate 120 after installation, thus preventing operators from accidentally touching and scratching the fasteners during installation, or causing other installation components to accidentally come into contact with and be damaged by the fasteners.

[0046] Furthermore, the fastener is threaded into the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221.

[0047] Optionally, the fastener is a screw, thus a secure connection between the base 100 and the back plate 200 can be achieved by the fastener threaded into the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the fastener can also be other components, which are not specifically limited here.

[0048] It can be seen that by using the threaded engagement between the fastener and the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 221, the connection between the back plate 200 and the base 100 not only has good initial installation accuracy, but also significantly improves structural stability, anti-loosening performance and assembly convenience.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that there are multiple fasteners, first mounting holes 111 and second mounting holes 221. When the folded edge 220 is set in the positioning groove 130, the multiple first mounting holes 111 correspond one-to-one with the multiple second mounting holes 221, and the fasteners are inserted into the corresponding first mounting holes 111 and second mounting holes 221.

[0050] During the actual assembly process, multiple fasteners are respectively set in the corresponding first mounting hole 111 and second mounting hole 221. This not only ensures that a stable overall structure is formed between the back plate 200 and the base 100, but also further improves the installation tightness between the folded edge 220 and the first plate 110 through the mutual restraint between multiple connection points during the fastening process, preventing loosening of the connection caused by assembly deviation or external force disturbance.

[0051] Furthermore, the multi-point fastening method using multiple fasteners also improves the installation fault tolerance. Even if some fasteners become slightly loose during long-term operation, the remaining fasteners can still maintain the stability of the overall connection, thereby effectively ensuring the operational safety and structural reliability of the air conditioner 1 under complex operating conditions.

[0052] In detail, the plurality of first mounting holes 111 are all located at the edge of the first plate 110, and the plurality of first mounting holes 111 are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line, and the plurality of second mounting holes 221 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the folded edge 220.

[0053] In this embodiment, multiple first mounting holes 111 are arranged at equal intervals along a straight line, so that the force-bearing distance between each fastener is consistent, thereby forming a uniform force during the fastening process and avoiding local stress concentration or structural deformation caused by uneven hole distribution.

[0054] In addition, the second mounting holes 221 are equally spaced along the length of the folded edge 220, so that after the folded edge 220 is embedded in the positioning groove 130, its alignment with the first mounting hole 111 can be naturally matched, and multiple fasteners can be inserted at the same time without additional adjustment, which improves assembly efficiency and ease of operation.

[0055] It should also be noted that a boss 112 is provided on the side of the first plate 110 away from the positioning plate 120, and the first mounting hole 111 is provided on the boss 112.

[0056] In other words, by providing a boss 112 on the first plate 110, the thickness of the first plate 110 is increased, thereby increasing the connection area between the fastener and the first plate 110, thus effectively improving the installation strength between the fastener and the first plate 110.

[0057] Similarly, the folded edge 220 is provided with a flange 222 at the edge of the second mounting hole 221. The flange 222 is provided with a threaded inner wall and extends away from the folded edge 220.

[0058] Therefore, by having the fastener also engage with the threaded inner wall of the flange 222, the connection area between the fastener and the flange 220 is increased, thus effectively improving the installation strength between the fastener and the first plate 110.

[0059] It is also worth mentioning that the end of the fastener is spaced apart from the positioning plate 120.

[0060] In other words, the length of the fastener is less than the sum of the thickness of the first mounting hole 111 and the distance between the first plate 110 and the positioning plate 120. Therefore, when the fastener is installed, there is a certain gap between its end and the positioning plate 120, thereby avoiding contact between the fastener and the positioning plate 120, which would cause the positioning plate 120 to deform or even be damaged.

[0061] Further, please refer to Figure 6 This utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner 1, which includes an upper shell 11, a lower shell 12, a side plate 13, and a mounting shell 10 as described in the above embodiment. The upper shell 11, the lower shell 12, the side plate 13, and the mounting shell 10 together form an outer shell. The upper shell 11 is provided with an air outlet 14, and the lower shell 12 is provided with an air inlet 15.

[0062] In summary, this utility model provides a mounting housing 10 and an air conditioner 1. The spatial relationship between the first plate 110 and the positioning plate 120 forms a positioning groove 130 to accommodate the folded edge 220, which not only simplifies the overall assembly process but also avoids the installation complexity and structural instability caused by traditional multi-part splicing methods. The positioning plate 120 and the positioning groove 130 can play a role in the installation positioning of the folded edge 220, so that the folded edge 220 can be directly embedded into the positioning groove 130 during the assembly process. This allows installers to complete the initial positioning and installation between the back plate 200 and the base 100 without the need for complicated auxiliary tools, which significantly improves the installation efficiency. Furthermore, the installation cooperation between the folded edge 220 and the positioning groove 130 can effectively prevent the back plate 200 from being offset or tilted during installation, thus not only reducing the installation difficulty but also improving the reliability and consistency of the installation.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
