Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a structure in which the front panel 20 of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit shown in fig. 1 is turned up.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention generally includes a casing 10 and a front panel 20. The casing 10 defines an accommodation space 102 and has a front side with a forward opening 101 for accommodating a fan, an evaporator, etc. of a wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit. The front panel 20 is used to cover the forward opening 101. The top end of the front panel 20 is rotatably mounted to the housing 10 about an axis (x-axis) extending transversely (the transverse direction being indicated in the figures) so as to open the forward opening 101 upside down.
As shown in fig. 2, a filter screen 30 is provided in the casing 10 of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit, and a part of the filter screen 30 is located at the forward opening 101. Therefore, when the filter screen 30 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the front panel 20 needs to be turned upwards first, and the filter screen 30 can be detached after the front opening 101 is opened. Replacing some other functional modules, such as a purification module, a humidification module, etc., also requires flipping the front panel 20 open.
The prior art often employs a resilient snap to connect the front panel and the housing. The structure is very convenient to mount, and the front panel can be pushed backwards by force to complete clamping. However, once the elastic buckle is clamped, the elastic buckle is very difficult to disassemble. The more the elastic buckles are, the harder the elastic buckles are to be disassembled. Moreover, if the disassembly is performed with brute force, the snap is also easily broken. Moreover, since the disassembly is laborious, dust accumulated inside the housing is easily shaken off at the moment when the user forcibly removes the front panel.
To solve the above-mentioned defects, the embodiment of the present invention specifically designs the locking assembly 50, and the front panel 20 is fixed to the housing 10 through at least one locking assembly 50.
Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the wall-mounted indoor unit of an air conditioner shown in fig. 2 after a filter screen and an internal structure are hidden;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view at B of FIG. 3; FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the front panel 20 and the locking assembly 50 in a locked state; FIG. 6 is an enlarged view at C of FIG. 5; FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the front panel 20 and the locking assembly 50 in an unlocked state; fig. 8 is an enlarged view of fig. 7 at D.
A locking assembly 50 of an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 3-8.
As shown in fig. 1-4, each locking assembly 50 includes at least one laterally extending link 100 and at least one shackle 200. The connecting rod 100 is located inside the housing 10, and is mounted to the housing 10 to be axially reciprocally movable in itself. The latches 200 are fixed to the link 100 such that each latch 200 is locked with one of the connection portions 22 of the inner surface of the front panel 20 when the front panel 20 is in a closed state, to fix the position of the front panel 20. And the link 100 is operatively moved axially to move each catch 200 away from the connecting portion 22 to unlock, thereby allowing the front panel 20 to be flipped up.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an in, locking subassembly 50's structure is very novel, and the operator only needs to remove connecting rod 100 and can accomplish locking and unblock once, and it is very convenient to operate, laborsaving. Furthermore, the locking can be achieved by the bayonet 220 and the hook-shaped connecting portion 22, and the unlocking process does not need to be carried out by wrenching, so that the locking cannot be damaged. The disassembly process is very easy, and the front panel 20 can be turned over slightly, so that dust on the inner side of the casing 10 is not shaken off. In addition, since the plurality of latches 200 can be simultaneously operated by the connecting rod 100, more latches 200 can be conveniently arranged, so that a plurality of points of the front panel 20 are connected with the housing 10, the position is more stable, and the deformation is not easy to occur.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5-8, each latch 200 includes a laterally extending detent 220, i.e., detent 220 is parallel to link 100. Bayonet 220 is connected to the rest of latch 200 at only one axial end and is free at the other end. The connecting portion 22 is a hook-shaped structure, and when the front panel 20 is in a closed state, the connecting portion 22 hooks on the latch 220 to achieve locking, as shown in fig. 6. When connecting rod 100 moves axially, detent 220 translates axially, and when detent 220 moves to a position where it is disengaged from connecting portion 22, unlocking is achieved, as shown in fig. 8. Of course, instead of the hook-like structure, the connecting portion 22 may be perforated so that the locking pin 220 is inserted into the hole to lock and disengaged from the hole to unlock.
An alternative configuration of strikers 200 is shown in fig. 5-8, where each striker 200 includes a detent 210 and a detent 220. The latch 210 is connected to the link 100 in series. The latch 220 extends from one lateral surface of the latch 210.
Each locking assembly 50 may include two links 100 and the two may be spaced apart in parallel. The provision of two links 100 prevents the latch 220 from being disengaged from the connecting portion 22 by rotating about the axial direction of one link 100 in the locked state of the locker 200.
As shown in fig. 5 to 8, each locking assembly 50 may be provided with a plurality of lockers 200, and the plurality of lockers 200 are arranged in an axial direction (i.e., a transverse direction) of the link 100 to perform multipoint fixing of the front panel 20.
The solid portion 13 of the housing 10 at different locations in the lateral direction is opened with a plurality of openings to allow the link 100 to pass therethrough to restrain the link 100 at different locations in the axial direction of the link 100.
As shown in fig. 4-8, each locking assembly 50 further includes a button 300. The button 300 is mounted to one lateral end surface of the housing 10. One end of the link 100 protrudes out of the housing 10 through a lateral end wall of the housing 10 (the lateral end wall may be perforated with a hole or a notch 11 to allow the link 100 to pass therethrough) to connect the button 300 so that the link 100 is moved by operating the button 300. Fig. 4 and 6 show a locked state in which a button 300 is pressed to switch to an unlocked state. As shown in fig. 4, the button 300 can be located in the notch 11 formed at the corner between the transverse end surface and the front end surface of the casing 10, so as to reduce the influence of the button 300 on the appearance of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit, and even make it have a certain decorative effect.
In some embodiments, an elastic element may be disposed between each locking assembly 50 and the housing 10, and a pre-load force is applied to the locking assembly 50 by the elastic element to promote the locking of the latch 200 with the connecting portion 22. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the elastic member 600 may be a spring, an axis of which extends in a lateral direction, and which is installed between the button 300 and the housing 10. When the button 300 is pressed to unlock, the spring applies elastic resistance to the button 300, so that the button 300 returns to the original position under the elastic resistance after the user releases the button 300, so that the latch 200 returns to the locked state.
As shown in fig. 3, 5 and 7, the number of the locking assemblies 50 may be two, and the links 100 of the two locking assemblies 50 are arranged in the lateral direction. If the push buttons 300 are provided, the push buttons 300 of the two locking assemblies 50 may be located at both lateral end surfaces of the housing 10, respectively. Therefore, the front panel 20 can be opened only by pressing the two buttons 300 at the same time, and the problem that the front panel 20 is opened by mistake due to the fact that one button 300 is accidentally pressed in the transportation process is avoided.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged view at A of FIG. 2; fig. 10 is a schematic view of the arrangement of fig. 9 with the push button 300 in a depressed state.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the filter screen covers the lock catch 200, a relief opening 31 may be formed in the filter screen to expose the lock catch 200.
Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations and modifications can be made, consistent with the principles of the invention, which are directly determined or derived from the disclosure herein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
