The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the utility model.

An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a body 1, a housing 2, and a functional module 3. The body 1 is provided with an air inlet channel 14, an air outlet channel and a mounting cavity, the body 1 comprises a front decorative plate 11 and a side decorative plate 12 connected with the front decorative plate 11, and the side decorative plate 12 is provided with a mounting hole communicated with the mounting cavity. The shell 2 is detachably matched in the mounting cavity through the mounting hole, a transition channel is formed between the shell 2 and the body 1, or the shell 2 is provided with the transition channel, and the transition channel is communicated with the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel. The functional module 3 is connected to the housing 2 and is located in the transition channel.

According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the shell 2 is matched in the mounting cavity of the body 1 through the mounting hole of the side decorative plate 12 to form a transition channel which is communicated with the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel, and at the moment, when the functional module 3 arranged in the transition channel is a humidifying module, the humidification of wind can be realized, and the humidifying function of the air conditioner 100 is realized. Furthermore, the housing 2 can also be pulled out of the mounting cavity by means of mounting holes to realize a replacement of the functional module 3. Wherein, through setting up the mounting hole on the side plaque 12 for the design flexibility of front plaque 11 is high, can realize the integrated design, and front plaque 11's appearance aesthetic measure is high.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the body 1 further includes a rear trim 13 opposite to the front trim 11, the housing 2 is slidably fitted in the mounting cavity, the housing 2 has a first critical position fitted in the mounting cavity and a second critical position out of the mounting cavity, and when the housing 2 slides toward the second critical position, a portion of the housing 2 facing in the sliding-out direction gradually moves away from the rear trim 13.

Namely, when the housing 2 slides from the first critical position to the second critical position, the part of the housing 2 facing the sliding and separating direction (such as the part protruding from the mounting cavity later) is gradually far away from the rear decoration plate 13 and moves towards the direction close to the front decoration plate 11, so that the space outside the side decoration plate 12 required by the housing 2 to completely withdraw the accommodating cavity 26 is smaller, and when the air conditioner 100 is placed at the corner position, the space between the side decoration plate 12 and the wall body 5 can be reserved less, and the air conditioner 100 has higher utilization rate of corner space.

Specifically, a guide rail is arranged in the body 1, the shell 2 is slidably matched in the guide rail, and when the shell 2 slides from the first critical position to the second critical position, the shell 2 slides obliquely forwards relative to the body 1.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the sliding track of the housing 2 is arc-shaped, and the initial extraction direction of the housing 2 is angled to the plane of the front trim 11, and the initial extraction direction of the housing 2 is angled to the plane of the side trim 12.

At this time, the casing 2 can be drawn out in a direction approaching the front decorative plate 11, and the volume of the casing 2 can be designed to be larger, so that the connection between the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel can be better realized. In other words, compared with the case 2 having a linear sliding track, the case 2 has less space outside the side trim 12 required for completely drawing out the installation cavity on the basis that the case 2 can form the transition passage at the middle position of the body 1, thereby further improving the space utilization of the air conditioner 100 at the corner.

Specifically, the center of the sliding track of the housing 2 is located in front of the housing 2, and the initial sliding direction of the housing 2 refers to the tangential direction of the arc-shaped sliding track at the mounting hole.

In some embodiments, the initial extraction direction of the housing 2 is 30 ° -60 ° from the plane of the side fascia 12.

At this time, the outer space of the side decorative plate 12 required for ensuring that the housing 2 is completely separated from the mounting cavity is smaller, and the housing 2 can form a transition channel with a longer length so as to facilitate the mounting of a larger number or variety of functional modules 3.

Specifically, the angle between the initial extraction direction of the housing 2 and the plane in which the side trim 12 lies may be 30 °, 45 °, and 60 °.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2-5, the housing 2 includes a baffle 24, and the baffle 24 fits within the mounting hole when the housing 2 is in the first critical position.

That is, the baffle 24 separates the installation cavity of the body 1 from the outside, thereby effectively avoiding foreign matters such as external dust from entering the installation cavity and the transition channel, and ensuring the working performance and the service life of the functional module 3 and other components in the body 1.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, when the housing 2 is in the first critical position, the outer surface of the baffle 24 is in smooth engagement with the outer surface of the side trim 12, and the housing 2 further includes a handle 25, where the handle 25 is disposed on the outer surface of the baffle 24.

The outer surface of the baffle 24 is in smooth engagement with the outer surface of the side fascia 12, making the air conditioner 100 aesthetically pleasing in appearance at the side fascia 12. Meanwhile, whether the shell 2 is assembled in place can also be judged by observing whether the outer surface of the baffle 24 is smoothly connected with the outer surface of the side decorative plate 12, so that the reliable communication of the transition channel to the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel is ensured. Moreover, the user can draw the housing 2 out of the mounting cavity by holding the handle 25, and the housing 2 can be drawn out more easily and conveniently.

Specifically, when the housing 2 is in the first critical position, the outer surface of the baffle 24 is coplanar with the outer surface of the side fascia 12. Meanwhile, when the shell 2 is located at the first critical position, the shell 2 can be reliably connected with the body 1 in a clamping, screwing or damping connection mode with the mounting hole, so that reliable communication of the transition channel to the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel is further ensured.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the housing 2 has a receiving cavity 26, the receiving cavity 26 constituting at least part of the transition passage, the housing 2 has a fitting opening communicating with the receiving cavity 26, and the functional module 3 is detachably mounted in the receiving cavity 26 by the fitting opening.

Namely, a transition channel is formed between the housing 2 and the body 1, and in addition, when the housing 2 is completely drawn out of the installation cavity, the functional module 3 in the accommodating cavity 26 can be detached through the assembly port, and meanwhile, the functional module 3 after cleaning or a new functional module 3 can be reinstalled in the accommodating cavity 26 through the assembly port, so that the functional module 3 is convenient to disassemble and assemble.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the housing 2 includes a first side plate 21, a bottom plate 23, and a second side plate 22 connected in sequence. The first side plate 21, the bottom plate 23 and the second side plate 22 encircle to form a containing cavity 26, and the assembly port is an upper end opening of the containing cavity 26. Wherein, the inner surface of the first side plate 21 is provided with a first limiting groove 211, the first limiting groove 211 extends along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 23, and the functional module 3 is matched in the first limiting groove 211. And/or, the inner surface of the second side plate 22 is provided with a second limit groove 221, the second limit groove 221 extends along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 23, and the functional module 3 is matched in the second limit groove 221.

That is, the functional module 3 is matched in the first limiting groove 211 and/or the second limiting groove 221 through the assembly opening, so that the functional module 3 can be fixed in the accommodating cavity 26, the disassembly and assembly of the functional module 3 are convenient, and the replacement difficulty is low.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the accommodating cavity 26 is a generally U-shaped cavity, the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22 are respectively provided with a first limiting groove 211 and a second limiting groove 221, the first limiting groove 211 and the second limiting groove 221 are relatively arranged, two ends of the functional module 3 are respectively matched in the first limiting groove 211 and the second limiting groove 221, and therefore limiting of the functional module 3 in the extending direction of the transition channel is further achieved, and the installation reliability of the functional module 3 in the accommodating cavity 26 is higher.

It should be noted that, the number of the first limiting grooves 211 and the second limiting grooves 221 may be plural, and one or more kinds of the functional modules 3 may be provided to realize more functions, such as humidification and filtration functions.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the functional module 3 includes a wet film 31, and the air conditioner 100 further includes a water tank 4, and the water tank 4 is connected to the housing 2 and adapted to supply water to the wet film 31.

The air entering the transition channel from the air inlet channel 14 can take away the moisture in the wet film 31 when passing through the wet film 31, so as to realize the humidifying function. The water tank 4 continuously supplies water to the wet film 31 to ensure the humidity of the wet film 31 and further ensure the reliability of the humidifying function. At this time, it is necessary to regularly withdraw the housing 2 to perform replacement or cleaning of the wet film 31 and to complete the water replenishing operation of the water tank 4.

In some embodiments, the functional module 3 comprises a filter cartridge.

Therefore, the filter element can realize the filtration and purification of wind, and prevent external dust or toxic gas from being blown indoors by the air outlet channel, so that the air conditioner 100 has stronger functionality.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the first limiting groove 211 and the second limiting groove 221 in each transition channel may be two, at this time, the wet film layer 31 and the filter element may be respectively matched in the two first limiting grooves 211, and the wet film layer 31 and the filter element may be respectively matched in the two second limiting grooves 221, so that the air conditioner 100 has both the humidifying function and the purifying function, and the functionality of the air conditioner 100 is stronger.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3-5, the housing 2 has an air inlet 231, a first air outlet 212, and a second air outlet 213 in communication with the receiving cavity 26. The air inlet channel 14 is communicated with the air inlet 231, and two air outlet channels are respectively communicated with the first air outlet 212 and the second air outlet 213. The transition channel includes a first channel formed between the air inlet 231 and the first air outlet 212 and a second channel formed between the air inlet 231 and the second air outlet 213, and the functional modules 3 are two groups and are respectively installed in the first channel and the second channel.

Namely, one shell 2 can realize the communication between the air inlet channel 14 and all the air outlet channels, and then the replacement of all the functional modules 3 in the shell can be realized by only pulling out one shell 2. In this case, only one mounting hole is provided in the side trim 12, and the appearance of the air conditioner 100 is more attractive.
