Description

Front panel and middle frame assembling structure and air conditioner

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an air conditioning equipment technical field, concretely relates to air conditioner, in particular to assembly structure and air conditioner of front panel and center.

Background

An air conditioner is an air conditioning apparatus for conditioning indoor air to maintain a state suitable for a person. Air conditioners are largely classified into an integrated type and a split type, in which a split type air conditioner is composed of an indoor unit disposed inside a space requiring temperature adjustment and an outdoor unit disposed in an outdoor space. The conventional air conditioner indoor unit has an overall appearance including a main base having various components mounted therein to form a rear appearance, and a front frame, i.e., a center frame, positioned in front of the main base to form a front appearance. The front of the middle frame is closed by the front panel. An air inlet grille which can lead indoor air to flow into the indoor machine is formed on the upper side of the front panel, namely the upper surface of the middle frame. An air outlet is formed on the lower side of the middle frame along the horizontal direction in an extending way, and the air flowing into the indoor unit can be discharged through the air outlet. In addition, be provided with automatically controlled box in the front side of center, generally, automatically controlled box is located the front side right-hand member of center, and automatically controlled box is used for controlling the operating condition of air conditioner, and the circuit in the automatically controlled box is complicated, and the fault rate is higher, when the air conditioner breaks down, often needs open the front panel, overhauls automatically controlled box.

In the prior art, the front panel of the air conditioner mainly has two installation modes: one is to connect the front panel and the middle frame completely through a buckle, in the structure, in order to ensure the connection strength and the connection stability of the front panel and the middle frame, a plurality of buckles with complex structures are often required to be arranged between the front panel and the middle frame, when the front panel needs to be opened and the electric control box needs to be overhauled, on one hand, the assembly structure of the front panel and the middle frame is complex, and the opening difficulty of the front panel is large; on the other hand, the buckle between front panel and the center is the plastics material, very easily damages in opening and shutting repeatedly. The other kind is that the front panel rotatably installs on the center through the pivot of upside, the downside sets up the buckle, open the front panel when needs, overhaul the automatically controlled box, open the buckle of downside, it can to rotate to open the front panel, the front panel mounting means of this kind of structure has improved the convenient degree of opening the front panel to a certain extent, but the front panel is under the action of gravity, can rotate voluntarily, the lid closes, can't fix the open mode, overhaul the in-process, the workman need fix the front panel at the open mode with hand or instrument, it is also very inconvenient to use.

Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem to provide an assembly structure of a front panel and a middle frame and an air conditioner, which has a simple structure, is convenient to assemble, can rapidly open the front panel, and is convenient to overhaul internal components of an indoor unit of the air conditioner.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The utility model designs an assembly structure and air conditioner of front panel and center to realize that assembly structure between front panel and the center is simple, the assembly is convenient, and the front panel can be opened fast, the convenient purpose of overhauing the internals of machine in the air conditioner.

In order to solve the problem, the utility model discloses an assembly structure of front panel and center, including center and front panel, the rear side of center is connected with the base of air conditioner, the front panel covers the front side of center, set up the spout on the center, the spout certainly the front side of center extends to the rear side, and is corresponding, set up the draw runner on the front panel, insert the draw runner slidable in the spout.

This application clearance between front panel and the center can pass through the draw runner inserts degree of depth in the spout is adjusted, and then realizes opening and closing of front panel, convenient and fast, and simple structure.
