Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

In the related art, part of the protection net is a wire net with an electrophoretic coating on the surface. The indoor unit is provided with a mounting hole, and the end part of the rib of the wire netting is directly inserted into the mounting hole on the indoor unit, so that the protective net is fixed at the air outlet of the indoor unit. On one hand, the ends of the ribs of the wire netting belong to a section structure and are relatively sharp, so that the shell of the indoor unit is easily scratched in the installation process, and the appearance defect that the appearance surface of the indoor unit is damaged is caused; on the other hand, the mounting hole on the indoor set needs to be matched and fixed with the rib end of the wire mesh, the diameter of the rib end of the wire mesh is small, the hole diameter of the mounting hole on the indoor set is correspondingly small, the rib end and the mounting hole on the indoor set are difficult to align during alignment installation, and the difficulty of alignment installation is increased.

As shown in fig. 1 to 2, the present application provides a protection net 101, where the protection net 101 includes a protection net body 10 and a plurality of fastening portions 20 formed on the protection net body 10, so as to reduce the risk of damage to the appearance surface of an indoor unit and the difficulty in alignment and installation in the installation process of the protection net 101.

The side of the fastening part 20 away from the protective net body 10 protrudes out of the protective net body 10 so as to fasten with structures such as indoor units. Here, one side of the fastening part 20 away from the protective net body 10 is bent to form a bent sub-part 21, and both ends of the bent sub-part 21 are respectively connected with the protective net body 10 to form a closed structure of the bent sub-part 21; thus, the protective net body 10 can be clamped and fixed by the clamping part 20 and the groove part on the indoor unit, and the clamping part 20 is contacted with the indoor unit by the bending sub-part 21, so that the contact between the clamping part 20 and the indoor unit is smooth and not sharp, and the risk of scratching the shell of the indoor unit is reduced. Here, both ends of the bent sub-portion 21 may be directly connected to the screen body 10, or may be indirectly connected to the screen body 10. The structure of the bent sub-portion 21 may be determined according to actual needs, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. When the protection net 101 is a wire net with an electrophoretic coating on the surface, the bending sub-portion 21 may be formed by bending the ends of the ribs of the wire net; compared with the smaller cross section of the end part of the rib, the end surface of the bent sub-part 21 with the bent structure is larger, and the alignment contact area between the clamping part 20 and the indoor unit can be increased.

Compared with the related art, the protective net 101 provided by the embodiment of the application can utilize the bending structure of the bending sub-part 21 to eliminate a sharp region on the clamping part 20, and when the clamping part 20 is clamped with structures such as an indoor unit, the region on the clamping part 20 connected with the indoor unit is relatively smooth, the shell of the indoor unit cannot be scratched, and the risk of damage to the appearance surface of the indoor unit in the installation process of the protective net 101 is reduced; on the other hand, the bending structure of the bending sub-portion 21 can be used to increase the alignment installation area between the fastening portion 20 and the indoor unit, so that the alignment between the fastening portion 20 and the indoor unit is easier, and the alignment installation difficulty is reduced.

In some embodiments, the protection net 101 may include a plurality of longitudinal ribs arranged at intervals in a first direction and a plurality of transverse ribs arranged at intervals in a second direction, and an included angle between the first direction and the second direction is an acute angle or a right angle. Here, the longitudinal ribs and the transverse ribs are arranged in a staggered manner to form the protective net body 10; illustratively, the area formed by enclosing two longitudinal ribs of the plurality of longitudinal ribs located at two opposite ends along the first direction and two transverse ribs of the plurality of transverse ribs located at two opposite ends along the second direction is the protecting net body 10. In some examples, the longitudinal and transverse ribs may be metal strips or wires.

Here, the fastening portion 20 may be implemented in different manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In some examples, at least one end of the longitudinal rib protrudes out of the protective mesh body 10 to form the fastening portion 20. In other words, the plurality of transverse ribs are arranged at intervals along the second direction to form a transverse array, and at least one end of the longitudinal rib protrudes out of the transverse array to form the fastening portion 20. For example, one end of the longitudinal rib may protrude out of the transverse array to form the fastening portion 20, and the other end may be located in the protective net body 10; as another example, the two ends of the longitudinal ribs may protrude beyond the transverse array to form the trim portion 20. In other examples, the fastening portion 20 may be separately manufactured and welded to the panel body 10.

In some embodiments, a plurality of fastening portions 20 may be disposed at opposite sides of the protective mesh body 10; in this way, the two opposite sides of the protective net body 10 can be respectively clamped and fixed by the clamping part 20 and the indoor unit, so that the fixing structure is relatively reliable. The fastening portion 20 provided on at least one of the opposite sides of the guard net body 10 includes two elastic arm portions 22; illustratively, the trim portion 20 provided on only one side of the opposite sides of the guard net body 10 includes two elastic arm portions 22; further illustratively, the trim portion 20 provided on either side of the two opposite sides of the grille body 10 includes two elastic arm portions 22. Thus, when the protective net body 10 is clamped and fixed with the indoor unit through the clamping part 20, the elastic arm part 22 of the clamping part 20 can be elastically deformed, on one hand, the passing performance of the clamping part 20 can be increased through elastic deformation, so that the clamping part 20 can easily reach the corresponding clamping position on the indoor unit, on the other hand, the relative position of the clamping part 20 and the indoor unit can be locked through elastic deformation force, the clamping part 20 is prevented from being accidentally loosened from the indoor unit, and the consumption of screws and the installation time can be reduced without adopting screw fastening.

Here, two elastic arm sub-portions 22 may be respectively disposed at opposite ends of the bent sub-portion 21, and one end of the elastic arm sub-portion 22 away from the bent sub-portion 21 may be fixed to the mesh protection body 10. Thus, the relative angular positions of the bent sub-section 21 and the mesh protection body 10 can be changed by the elastic deformation of the elastic arm sub-section 22, so that the bent sub-section 21 can be smoothly fitted into the groove of the indoor unit, and the bent sub-section 21 can be reliably held in the groove by the elastic force of the elastic arm sub-section 22.

In some examples, the two elastic arm sub-portions 22 may be respectively disposed in a first plane, and an included angle between the first plane and a plane in which the bent sub-portion 21 is located is an acute angle or a right angle. Thus, the two elastic arm sub-portions 22 and the bent sub-portion 21 are located in different planes, and the elastic arm sub-portion 22 can be elastically deformed independently of the bent sub-portion 21 without compromising the structural stability of the bent sub-portion 21.

The bending structure of the bending sub-portion 21 may be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the bent sub-portion 21 may have a U-shaped configuration or a serpentine configuration, and the U-shaped configuration or the serpentine configuration is opened toward the guard net body 10. Here, the serpentine configuration is a configuration formed extending along a serpentine line.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is further provided in the embodiments of the present application, and the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 may include the protection net 101 and the indoor unit body 102 provided in any one of the above embodiments. Here, the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 may adopt indoor unit structures of different types of air conditioners such as a wall-mounted air conditioner and a cabinet air conditioner, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The indoor unit body 102 has an air outlet and a plurality of engaging grooves 102a disposed on opposite sides of the air outlet, and the engaging portion 20 is inserted into and engaged with the engaging grooves 102 a. In this way, the indoor unit body 102 can be fastened and fixed to the protection net 101. Compared with the related art, the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 provided by the embodiment of the application can utilize the bending structure of the bending sub-portion 21 to eliminate a sharp region on the clamping portion 20, and when the clamping portion 20 is clamped with structures such as an indoor unit, the region on the clamping portion 20 connected with the indoor unit is relatively smooth, so that a shell of the indoor unit cannot be scratched, and the risk of damage to the appearance surface of the indoor unit in the installation process of the protective net 101 is reduced; on the other hand, the bending structure of the bending sub-portion 21 can be used to increase the larger alignment contact area and correspondingly increase the area of the clamping groove portion 102a on the indoor unit, thereby increasing the alignment installation area between the clamping portion 20 and the indoor unit, making the alignment between the clamping portion 20 and the indoor unit easier and reducing the alignment installation difficulty.

The specific structure of the indoor unit body 102 may be determined according to actual needs, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application. As shown in fig. 3 to 7, in some embodiments, the indoor unit body 102 may include a base 1021 and a louver mounting plate 1022, the base 1021 and the louver mounting plate 1022 enclose an air outlet, and the base 1021 and the louver mounting plate 1022 are respectively provided with a clamping groove portion 102 a. In this way, one side of the protection net 101 can be clamped and fixedly connected with the base 1021 through the clamping part 20, and the other side can be clamped and fixedly connected with the shutter mounting plate 1022 through the other clamping part 20, so as to protect the air outlet.

In some examples, the bayonet portion 102a on the base 1021 and the bayonet portion 102a opening on the shutter mounting plate 1022 may remain opposite. Here, the mesh protection body 10 has a first side and a second side disposed oppositely, and the fastening portion 20 on the first side includes two elastic arm portions 22. When the protection net 101 is installed, the bent sub-portion 21 of the fastening portion 20 on the first side may be first inserted into the corresponding fastening groove portion 102a (e.g., the fastening groove portion 102a of the base 1021), and then the second side of the protection net body 10 is lightly pressed to elastically deform the elastic arm sub-portion 22 of the fastening portion 20 on the first side, so that the second side and the corresponding fastening groove portion 102a (e.g., the fastening groove portion 102a of the louver mounting plate 1022) may be moved back and away to be engaged with each other, thereby reducing the installation difficulty; conversely, when the protection net 101 is disassembled, the second side of the protection net body 10 may be lightly pressed to elastically deform the elastic arm portion 22 on the fastening portion 20 on the first side, so that the second side and the corresponding fastening groove portion 102a (for example, the fastening groove portion 102a on the louver mounting plate 1022) may be positionally retracted and separated correspondingly, and then the bent sub-portion 21 on the fastening portion 20 on the first side may be separated from the corresponding fastening groove portion 102a (for example, the fastening groove portion 102a on the base 1021), thereby reducing the difficulty of the disassembly.

The protective net and the air-conditioning indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail, a specific example is applied in the description to explain the principle and the implementation of the application, and the description of the embodiment is only used for helping to understand the method and the core idea of the application; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there may be variations in the specific embodiments and the application scope, and in summary, the content of the present specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
