Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.

The first embodiment is as follows:

referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner end cover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The air conditioner end cover 100 includes, for example, a first end cover 10 and a second end cover 20. The first end cover 10 is provided with an upper end cover 11 and a lower end cover 12 which are detachably matched and spliced with each other, and the lower end cover 12 is provided with a fastener 111; the second end cap 20 is hinged to the upper end cap 11 and is provided with an elastic latch 21 matched with the latch 111. Wherein the second cap 20 is rotated with respect to the first cap 10 to open the first cap 10, and the lower cap 12 is detachable from the upper cap 11.

Referring to fig. 2-a to 2-c, further, the elastic clip 21 includes, for example, an elastic clip 211 and a pressing piece 212. The elastic buckle 211 is connected with the buckle 111 in a matching way; when the pressing member 212 acts on the elastic buckle 211, the elastic buckle 211 deforms and disengages from the locking member 111.

In a particular embodiment, the press 212 includes, for example, a press plate 213 and a support post 214. The supporting column 214 is connected to the pressing plate 213, and its end faces the elastic buckle 211. In a practical use scenario, an operator may apply a force to the pressing plate 213, so that the supporting pillar 214 presses the elastic buckle 211 to separate the elastic buckle 211 from the engagement position of the buckle 111, i.e., complete the separation of the second end cap 20 from the first end cap 10, and then rotate the second end cap 20 to open the first end cap 10.

Further, the second end cap 20 is provided with an upper end and a lower end opposite to each other, which correspond to the top and the bottom of the air conditioner, respectively; the upper end is hinged with the first end cover 10; the elastic fastener 21 is arranged at the lower end. I.e. the second end cap 20 is movable in a vertical direction.

For example, the operator may apply pressure to the pressing plate 213 at the lower end of the second end cap 20, so that the elastic port 211 is separated from the fastening member 111 at the matching position, and then the second end cap 20 may rotate vertically around the upper end, so that the second end cap 20 opens the lower end cap 12, the whole operation process is simple and convenient, and the efficiency of opening the lower end cap 12 is greatly improved. In contrast, in combination with the above-mentioned hinge connection structure, the connection structure of the second end cap 20 corresponding to the first end cap 10 does not need to be calibrated, so that the second end cap 20 can be directly mounted to the first end cap 10 along the movement track thereof, and the accuracy and efficiency of capping the first end cap 10 are greatly improved.

Of course, the second end cap 20 may also be movable in the horizontal direction, and in a specific use scenario, the second end cap 20 has a front end and a rear end opposite to each other, the rear end is close to the installation side of the air conditioner, and the rear end is hinged to the first end cap 10; the elastic fastener 21 is disposed at the front end, and the detailed process of opening the first end cap 10 is the same as above, and is not described herein again.

Preferably, the air conditioner end cover 100 further includes a positioning plate 30 and a positioning column 40, for example. The positioning plate 30 is arranged on one side of the lower end cover 12 facing the second end cover 20, and the positioning plate 30 is provided with a positioning hole 31 matched with the positioning column 40; the positioning post 40 is disposed on a side of the second end cap 20 close to the first end cap 10. The second end cap 20 rotates relative to the first end cap 10 and covers the first end cap 10, and at this time, the positioning column 40 is inserted into the positioning hole 31 in a matching manner.

For example, to improve the efficiency of the snap-fit connection of the second end cap 20 to the first end cap 10. The end part of the positioning column 40 close to the second end cover 20 is provided with a chamfer, so that the efficiency of the matching connection of the positioning column 40 and the positioning hole 31 is improved, and preferably, the chamfer can be a round chamfer structure; in addition, the positioning column 40 may also be a cylindrical structure, for example, the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical structure gradually changes along the length direction thereof, the cross-sectional area near the end portion is the smallest, correspondingly, the positioning hole 31 is a circular hole structure, so that the gap between the cylindrical structure and the circular hole structure is reduced, the matching precision of the cylindrical structure and the circular hole structure is improved, the problem that the second end cover 20 moves in the working process of the air conditioner is effectively avoided, and the stability of the second end cover 20 mounted to the end portion of the air conditioner is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 3-a and 3-c, preferably, the second end cap 20 is provided with an olecranon hook 22; a rotating space 13 and a rotating shaft 14 are arranged at corresponding positions of the first end cover 10, the rotating shaft 14 is arranged in the rotating space 13, and the first end cover 10 is provided with a connecting opening communicated with the rotating space 13; the olecranon hook 22 extends into the rotation space 13 through the connection opening and is rotatably connected to the rotation shaft 14.

Specifically, the olecranon hook 22 may be provided at the upper end of the second end cap 20, opposite to which the shaft 14 is provided at the upper end of the first end cap 10. The olecranon hook 22 is in a rotationally mating connection with the shaft 14 to allow vertical rotation of the second end cap 20 relative to the first end cap 10. Of course, the olecranon hook 22 may be provided at the front end or the rear end of the second end cap 20, and similarly, the shaft 14 may be provided at a corresponding position of the first end cap 10, so that the second end cap 20 is rotated in a horizontal direction.

Referring to fig. 4, preferably, the air conditioner end cover 100 further includes a locking structure 50, for example. The locking structure 50 is disposed between the first end cap 10 and the second end cap 20, and connects the first end cap 10 and the second end cap 20 to lock the open position of the second end cap 20 relative to the first end cap 10. For example, the inner cavity of the second end cap 20 is provided with an installation space, the locking structure 50 is disposed in the installation space, when the second end cap 20 covers the first end cap 10, the locking structure 50 can be accommodated in the installation space, when the second end cap 20 opens the lower end cap 12, the locking structure 50 is supported between the second end cap 20 and the first end cap 10, and the distance between the second end cap 20 and the first end cap 10 is kept fixed. On one hand, the locking structure 50 limits the maximum moving stroke of the second end cap 20, and prevents the second end cap 20 from damaging the structure at the hinge joint during the rotation process; in another aspect, the locking structure 50 may position the second end cap 20 a distance from the first end cap 10.

Specifically, the locking structure 50 includes, for example, a first hinge link 51, a second hinge link 52, and a locking portion 53. One end of the first hinge link rod 51 is hinged to the first end cap 10; the second hinge link 52 is hinged between the first hinge link 51 and the second end cap 20; the locking portion 53 is provided at the hinge joint of the first hinge link 51 and the second hinge link 52. The first hinge connecting rod 51 and the second hinge connecting rod 52 are detachably connected.

In connection with fig. 2-c, it is preferable to improve the efficiency of capping the first end cap 10 with the second end cap 20. The fastener 111 has a first mating surface 112 and a second mating surface. The first matching end surface 112 is arranged on one side of the fastener 111 close to the supporting column 214 and is a vertical inclined surface; the second mating end surface is vertically arranged along the vertical direction and is arranged on one side, far away from the supporting column 214, of the fastener 111. Opposite to it, the elastic buckle 211 is provided with a third mating end surface 215 and a fourth mating end surface, the third mating end surface 215 is matched with the first mating end surface 112, and the fourth mating end surface is matched with the second mating end surface.

When the second end cap 20 covers the first end cap 10, the third mating surface 215 is attached to the first mating surface 112, and the vertical inclination direction is the same as the moving direction of the second end cap 20, so that the process of fastening the elastic buckle 211 to the buckle 111 is labor-saving.

Certainly, in order to further improve the engaging process between the elastic buckle 211 and the buckle 111, the effort is saved, and the first engaging end surface 112 and the second engaging end surface are converted into the connection between a surface and a point by the surface-to-surface engagement, for example, the first engaging end surface 112 may be a planar structure, and the second engaging end surface is a spherical curved surface, so that the engaging contact area between the two is reduced, the friction between the two in the process of movable engagement is reduced, and the effort is saved.

Example two:

referring to fig. 5, it is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner middle frame assembly 300 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner middle frame assembly 300 is, for example, an end cover 310, an upper middle frame case, and a lower middle frame case. The upper middle frame shell and the lower middle frame shell are detachably matched and spliced, and the end cover 310 is hinged to the upper middle frame shell. And the end cap 310 is configured the same as the second end cap 20 described in the first embodiment.
