The embodiments of the present application provide a locking assembly and an air conditioner, which are described in detail below.

Referring first to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic structural view of a locking assembly in an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the locking assembly in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the locking assembly includes:

a first connecting member 10;

the locking piece 20 is rotatably connected with the first connecting piece 10, and the locking piece 20 is provided with a first clamping part 21 and a first abutting part 22;

a second connector 30, the second connector 30 having a second engaging portion 31 engaged with the first engaging portion 21, and a second abutting portion 32 in contact with the first abutting portion 22;

the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 are engaged with each other in a first rotational direction of the lock 20, the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 abut against each other in a second rotational direction of the lock 20, and the first rotational direction is opposite to the second rotational direction.

Specifically, the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 are mutually connected members, and for example, the first connecting member 10 may be a base, such as a fan base, an air conditioner base, or the like, and the second connecting member 30 may be a member locked to the base, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner center, a wall-mounted electric fan housing, or the like. It is understood that the first connecting member 10 can also be a main body connecting member of other household appliances, such as a television base, a range hood base, and the like, and the second connecting member 30 can also be a housing of the other household appliances, such as a television housing and a range hood housing.

The locker 20 may be rotated with respect to the first connector 10 and, as the locker 20 is rotated to be coupled with the second connector 30, the first connector 10 and the second connector 30 are finally coupled by the locker 20. In order to connect the locking member 20 and the second connecting member 30, the locking member 20 has a first engaging portion 21 and a first abutting portion 22, the second connecting member 30 has a second engaging portion 31 engaging with the first engaging portion 21, and a second abutting portion 32 contacting with the first abutting portion 22, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 are engaged in a first rotating direction of the locking member 20, the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 abut in a second rotating direction of the locking member 20, and the first rotating direction is opposite to the second rotating direction.

In the present embodiment, the engagement specifically means that after the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 are engaged in the first rotating direction, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 cannot be disengaged by continuing to rotate the lock member 20 in the first rotating direction, and the engaged state of the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 can be released only by rotating the lock member 20 in the opposite second rotating direction.

The abutting specifically means that after the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 are engaged in the second rotating direction, the lock piece 20 can be continuously rotated in the second direction to elastically deform one of the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 so as to disengage from the engaged state, for example, the second abutting portion 32 elastically deforms, and the first abutting portion 22 bypasses the protrusion 322 of the second abutting portion 32 in the second rotating direction, so that the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 disengage from the engaged state.

As an example, referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 shows a schematic connection state diagram of the locking assembly in the embodiment of the present invention, fig. 4 shows a schematic disassembly state diagram of the locking assembly in the embodiment of the present invention, when the locking member 20 rotates along a first rotation direction, for example, counterclockwise as shown in fig. 3, the first engaging portion 21 engages with the second engaging portion 31, at this time, the locking member 20 is limited to continue to rotate along the first rotation direction, and the first abutting portion 22 abuts against the second abutting portion 32 along a second rotation direction of the locking member 20 to generate an interference fit, so that the locking member 20 is limited to continue to rotate along the second rotation direction, and further, the phenomenon that the locking member 20 is not easily influenced by factors such as fan vibration to cause rotation disengagement is avoided.

When the locking member 20 is pressed to rotate in the second direction, for example, clockwise as shown in fig. 4, the first abutting portion 22 passes over the protrusion 322 of the second abutting portion 32, and the first engaging portion 21 engages with the second engaging portion 31, so that the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 are finally detached by pressing and rotating the locking member 20. It will be appreciated that the first direction of rotation may also be clockwise and the second direction of rotation may also be counter-clockwise.

This application sets up first block portion 21 and second block portion 31 to the first direction of rotation block along retaining member 20, first butt portion 22 and second butt portion 32 set up to the second direction of rotation butt along retaining member 20, because first direction of rotation is opposite with the second direction of rotation, the butt of first butt portion 22 and second butt portion 32 makes retaining member 20 can't receive vibrations to influence along the second direction of rotation rotatory, avoided receiving factors such as fan vibrations promptly to make retaining member 20 break away from the rotatory phenomenon of the second direction of rotation of block along first block portion 21 and second block portion 31, and then improved coupling assembling's locking efficiency and avoided the problem that the spiral shell easily breaks away from simultaneously.

As an exemplary embodiment in which the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 are engaged along the first rotating direction of the locking member 20, and the first abutting portion 22 and the second abutting portion 32 are abutted along the second rotating direction of the locking member 20, refer to fig. 5, 6 and 7, fig. 5 shows a schematic structural view of the locking member 20 in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the second connecting member 30 in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 7 shows a schematic structural view of the second connecting member 30 in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the first engaging portion 21 has an engaging surface 211 engaged with the second engaging portion 31, and the first engaging portion 21 is provided with a card entrance 212 on one side of the engaging surface 211 along the first rotating direction; the second contact portion 32 has a contact surface 321 that contacts the first contact portion 22, and the second contact portion 32 is provided with a protrusion 322 on one side of the contact surface 321 in the second rotational direction.

When the locking member 20 rotates in the first rotation direction, the second engaging portion 31 is engaged with the engaging surface 211 of the first engaging portion 21 through the engaging opening 212, so that the first engaging portion 21 is engaged with the second engaging portion 31. Generally, the engaging surface 211 surrounds at least two adjacent sides of the second engaging portion 31 at the same time, and further restricts the movement of the second engaging portion 31 in two dimensions to achieve the engagement, it can be understood that, as shown in fig. 5, the engaging surface 211 may surround three sides of the second engaging portion 31 at the same time, and the other side of the first engaging portion 21 forms the card entrance 212 to be engaged with the second engaging portion 31.

When the locking member 20 rotates in the second rotation direction, the first abutting portion 22 slides along the abutting surface 321, and along with the rotation, the first abutting portion 22 abuts against the protrusion 322, so as to limit the rotation of the locking member 20 in the second direction, and when the locking member 20 is pressed, the first abutting portion 22 causes the second abutting portion 32 to deform and retreat, the first abutting portion 22 goes over the protrusion 322 and continues to rotate in the second rotation direction, at this time, the first engaging portion 21 is separated from the second engaging portion 31, and the purpose of separating the locking member 20 from the second connecting member 30 is completed.

Further, in some embodiments of the present application, in order to achieve self-locking of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 and avoid directly dragging the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 to cause the locking member 20 to rotate, with reference to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the engaging surface 211 includes a first curved surface 210 coaxial with the rotation axis of the locking member 20; and/or abutment surface 321 includes a second curved surface 320 coaxial with the axis of rotation of retaining member 20.

In the above embodiment, since the first curved surface 210 and the second curved surface 320 are coaxial with the axis of the rotating shaft 24, and the acting force between the second engaging portion 31 and the first curved surface 210 and the acting force between the first abutting portion 22 and the second curved surface 320 are all directed to the rotating axis, when the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 are dragged, the forces are transmitted between the second engaging portion 31 and the first curved surface 210, between the first abutting portion 22 and the second curved surface 320 and directed to the rotating axis, and since the acting forces are directed to the rotating axis, the acting forces do not cause the locking member 20 to rotate, and finally, the purpose of preventing the locking member 20 from rotating due to the fact that the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 30 are dragged directly is achieved.

Further, in order to better point the acting force between the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 31 to the rotation axis, refer to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the second engaging portion 31 includes a limiting post 311 contacting with the engaging surface 211, the first curved surface 210 is located on one side of the limiting post 311 departing from the rotation axis of the locking member 20, because the limiting post 311 and the first curved surface 210 can better realize curved surface contact, the acting force of the whole arc-shaped contact surface between the limiting post 311 and the first curved surface 210 can better point to the rotation axis, and further the self-locking purpose of the locking assembly can be better realized.

Further, in order to facilitate the separation of the first connecting member 10 from the second connecting member 30, referring to fig. 2, the locking member 20 is further provided with a lifting portion 23 on a side of the first abutting portion 22 away from the first engaging portion 21, the lifting portion 23 contacts with the second abutting portion 32 along with the rotation of the locking member 20 along the second rotation direction, when the locking member 20 rotates along the second rotation direction to separate the first engaging portion 21 from the second engaging portion 31, the lifting portion 23 contacts with the second abutting portion 32 to further lift the second connecting member 30, so as to achieve the purpose of separating the first connecting member 10 from the second connecting member 30 by rotating the lifting portion 23 while separating the first engaging portion 21 from the second engaging portion 31.

It will be appreciated that the lifting portion 23 may also lift other components to separate the first connecting member 10 from the second connecting member 30, for example, the lifting portion 23 contacts the second connecting member 30 with the rotation of the locking member 20 in the second rotation direction to directly lift the second connecting member 30.

Specifically, in order to facilitate the contact between the lifting portion 23 and the second contact portion 32, referring to fig. 6, the second contact portion 32 has a lifting surface 310 in contact with the lifting portion 23, and the lifting surface 310 is located on a side of the second contact portion 32 away from the contact surface 321. When retaining member 20 rotated along the second direction of rotation, jacking portion 23 moved along the coaxial pitch arc orbit motion with retaining member 20 axis of rotation, because jacking face 310 is located the one side that deviates from butt face 321, jacking portion 23 contacted with jacking face 310 and can promote second butt portion 32 and remove longer stroke, and then made first connecting piece 10 and second connecting piece 30 separate great interval to in order to pull down second connecting piece 30.

It can be understood that, in order to make the lifting portion 23 contact with the lifting surface 310 and push the second abutting portion 32 to move for a long stroke, the lifting surface 310 does not circumscribe any circle of the rotation center of the locking member 20, so as to avoid the situation that the lifting portion 23 only passes through the tangent point and cannot push the second abutting portion 32.

Further, in order to facilitate the rotation of the locker 20 on the second connecting member 30, referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 illustrates a schematic configuration of the first connecting member 10 in the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 8 illustrates a schematic configuration of the locker 20 in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the first connecting member 10 is provided with a rotation port 11, and the first connecting member 10 is provided with rotation positioning grooves 12 at both sides of the rotation port 11; the locking member 20 is provided at both sides thereof with rotation shafts 24, the locking member 20 is inserted into the rotation opening 11, and the rotation shafts 24 are engaged with the rotation positioning grooves 12.

In the above embodiment, since the locker 20 is inserted into the rotation groove and the rotation function is performed by the engagement of the rotation shaft 24 with the rotation positioning groove 12, the rotation of the locker 20 is reliable and the overall appearance of the locking assembly is optimized. It will be appreciated that retaining member 20 can be flush with the surface of first coupling member 10 when closed to further optimize the overall appearance of the locking assembly, while also providing switch indicia, such as "off" or "on" indicia, on the backside of retaining member 20 to facilitate removal based on the switch indicia.
