Detailed Description

It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.

The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in connection with embodiments.

First embodiment

Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a wall-mounted air conditioner according to the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, the wall-mounted air conditioner according to the present application may include, for example, a wall-mounted plate 100, an upper chassis 200, a lower chassis 300, and a protection plate 400.

The wall-hanging plate 100 is a component for mounting an air conditioner according to the application to a wall, and when the air conditioner is mounted, it is first fixed to the wall, and then other components of the air conditioner are mounted to the wall-hanging plate 100, so the wall-hanging plate 100 may include a plurality of hanging plate connection features. The plurality of strap attachment features will be discussed in detail later.

The upper base 200 is adapted to house a heat exchanger therein and has a hooking feature, such as one or more slots 210. The upper base 200 may thus be removably attachable to at least one of the plurality of hanging plate attachment features of the wall hanging plate 100, such as the upper hem 110. As shown in fig. 1, for example, the upper hem 110 may be two upper hems 110 symmetrically disposed in a horizontal direction after installation. In addition, the upper folded edge 110 may be one disposed at a horizontal center position or three disposed uniformly in a horizontal direction, and the number of the hooking features of the upper base 200 is matched with the same.

The lower base 300 is for receiving therein an air duct assembly, and is detachably connected to the upper base 200. Because the lower chassis 300 is detachably connected with the upper chassis 200, the lower chassis 300 can be detached from the upper chassis 200 according to the use requirement, and cleaning and maintenance of the air duct assembly and related components therein can be performed. After cleaning, maintenance, etc., the base 300 may be mounted to the upper base 200 with the duct assembly, etc. contained therein, to form a complete air conditioner.

The protection plate 400 may include a cavity 410, an upper sidewall 420, and a lower sidewall 430. The cavity 410 may receive the bundle 500 to protect the bundle 500 from being damaged by friction during the assembly and disassembly of the sub-base 300. The upper and lower sidewalls 420 and 430 may extend outwardly from the cavity 410, and the length and direction of the extension may be appropriately designed according to the structure of the inside of the air conditioner. The protection plate 400 may be assembled with the upper chassis 200 and the lower chassis 300. The protective plate 400 also includes a crimp feature to provide a crimp connection with at least one of the plurality of hanging plate attachment features on the wall hanging plate 100 when the air conditioner is installed. The pressure-bonding connection means a connection method in which, when the air conditioner is mounted, the air conditioner body is hung on the upper flange 110 of the wall-mounted plate 100 by the hanging feature of the upper base 200, for example, and then the air conditioner body is pressed to connect the protection plate 400 and the wall-mounted plate 100.

According to embodiments of the present application, the upper base 200 and the heat exchanger therein, the lower base 300 and the air duct assembly therein, and the protective plate 400 and the piping bundles 500 therein may be assembled together for packaging, shipping, storage, or mounting to the wall hanging plate 100 in an integral assembly. This can greatly facilitate packaging, shipping, storage or installation of the wall-mounted air conditioner. For example, if the protection plate 400 is not assembled with the air conditioner body during the assembly, it is very difficult to fix the wire bundle 500 inside the air conditioner body to the wall-mounted plate 100 through the protection plate 400 during the installation of the air conditioner, which affects the quality of the fitting and increases the installation time even if it can be installed.

According to embodiments of the present application, the integral assembly may be hung on the upper hem of the wall-mounted plate 100 and may be rotatable about the upper hem of the wall-mounted plate 100 when installed.
