Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 shows a modular air conditioning indoor unit according to the present invention, which includes a base module 100, a heat exchange module 200, an air duct module 300, and an appearance module 400.

The wind channel module 300 comprises a wind channel assembly, and an impeller assembly in the wind channel assembly 301 comprises an impeller 320 with an impeller shaft 321, one end of the impeller shaft 321 close to the motor 141 is in transmission connection with the motor 141, and the other end of the impeller shaft 321 is rotatably arranged on the bottom shell 310.

The air conditioner comprises a base member 101 and a bottom case 310 detachably mounted on the base member 101, wherein a locking structure is further disposed between the bottom case 310 and the base member 101, and is used for locking or unlocking the bottom case 310 when the bottom case 310 is dismounted, after an operator releases the fastening connection between the bottom case 310 and the base member 101, the operator can hold the bottom case 310 and simultaneously dial the dial 343, and then remove the bottom case 310 from the base member 101, so as to avoid the problem that the bottom case 310 may be separated from the base member 101 and fall off after the fastening connection between the bottom case 310 and the base member 101 is released, thereby protecting the safety of the operator, and avoiding the damage caused by falling of parts on the bottom case 310. The locking structure includes: a dial 343 slidably provided on the bottom case 310, and a locking groove provided on the base member 101, the dial 343 being adapted to partially protrude into the locking groove to lock the bottom case 310 with the base member 101. When the dial 343 does not extend into the lock groove, the bottom case 310 is unlocked from the base member 101.

As a modification, the locking structure includes: a dial 343 slidably provided on the base member 101, and a locking groove provided on the bottom case 310, the dial 343 being adapted to partially protrude into the locking groove to lock the bottom case 310 with the base member 101. When the dial 343 does not extend into the lock groove, the bottom case 310 is unlocked from the base member 101. The bottom case 310 and the base member 101 have a detachable structure, and the dial 343, as shown in fig. 2, includes a driving portion 3432 slidably engaged with the bottom case 310; the pushing portion 3431 is fixed on the driving portion 3432, and the driving portion 3432 is adapted to drive the pushing portion 3431 to extend into the lock slot. The driving portion 3432 is acted on by an external force to drive the pushing portion 3431 to extend into or out of the locking groove. When the pushing part 3431 extends into the locking groove, the pushing part 3431 is locked with the locking groove; when the pushing portion 3431 protrudes into the lock groove, the pushing portion 3431 is separated from the lock groove and unlocked. A locking inclined surface matched with the locking groove is formed on the pushing part 3431, and when the pushing part 3431 extends into the locking groove, the pushing part 3431 and the locking groove are locked together through the wedge-shaped inclined surface.

The driving portion 3432 is formed with a sliding bar 3433 which slides and is in spacing fit with the guiding groove 310c of the bottom housing 310, so as to guide and limit the driving portion 3432. The driving portion 3432 is formed with a sliding groove 3434 which slides and is in limit fit with the guiding strip 310d on the bottom housing 310, so as to guide and limit the driving portion 3432. One of the slide bar 3433 and the slide groove 3434 of the driving portion 3432 may be provided, and the slide bar 3433 and the slide groove 3434 may be provided at the same time for improving the assembling accuracy.

Both ends of the sliding bar 3433 or the sliding groove 3434 in the sliding direction are respectively provided with a slope surface for engaging with the guide groove 310c or the guide bar 310d for snap-engaging with the bottom housing 310 when the dial 343 is located at the locking position and the unlocking position. That is, when pushing portion 3431 of dial 343 is extended into the lock groove, dial 343 is in tight fit with bottom case 310, and dial 343 achieves the purpose of locking bottom case 310 and base member 101; when the pushing portion 3431 of the dial 343 extends out of the locking groove and contacts and locks the locking groove, the dial 343 and the bottom case 310 are still tightly fitted and cannot fall off from the bottom case 310. The driving portion 3432 is formed with a pushing portion 3435 adapted to push the dial 343, so that an operator can drive the driving portion 3432 conveniently.

The number of the locking structures is two, and the locking structures are symmetrically arranged at the connection position of the lower portion of the bottom case 310 and the edge of the base member 101. The two locking structures can effectively lock bottom case 310 and base member 101 together, and it is convenient for an operator to push dials 343 of the two locking structures with two hands respectively when detaching bottom case 310 from base member 101. As shown in fig. 4, the movement direction of the dial 343 is perpendicular to the long side direction of the base member 101, and locking and unlocking between the bottom case 310 and the base member 101 is achieved by pushing the dial 343 up and down in the vertical direction. Of course, the movement direction of the dial 343 may be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base member 101, and the locking and unlocking between the bottom case 310 and the base member 101 is achieved by pushing the dial 343 to the left and right in the horizontal direction.

It should be understood that the above examples are only for clarity of illustration and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications therefrom are within the scope of the invention.
