With reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 12, a side plate mounting structure is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the side plate mounting structure includes a side plate body 10 and a locking portion 20. The locking portion 20 is connected with the side plate body 10, the locking portion 20 has a locking position connected to the mounting base, and the locking portion 20 has an unlocking position which can be separated from the mounting base.
In the present embodiment, a locking portion is provided on the side plate body, and the side plate body is locked on the mounting base by the locking portion, so that when the side plate mounting structure needs to be dismounted, the dismounting work of the side plate body can be realized by pulling the locking portion, namely, by adopting the technical solution of the present application, the difficulty problem of disassembly of the side plate mounting structure can be effectively reduced, and the utility of the side plate mounting structure can be improved. The mounting base may be a base of an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and the technical solution can facilitate the detection and maintenance operation of internal components of the indoor unit.
The side plate body 10 may be fixedly arranged on the mounting base, and when the side plate body 10 is fixedly arranged on the mounting base, the side plate body may expand and protrude in a certain direction. The locking portion 20 provided on the side plate body 10 can be pulled back in a direction opposite to the protruding direction and snap-fitted on the mounting base, thereby effectively avoiding the deformation of the side plate body 10 during a mounting process.
In a exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the side plate body 10 is provided with a through hole 11, a part of the locking portion 20 is connected to a hole wall of the through hole 11, and the other part of the locking portion 20 can be stretched in a first direction to an unlocking position (as shown in Fig. 1, F is a pulling direction), or the other part of the locking portion 20 may be reset from the unlocking position to the locking position in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In this way, the locking portion can be switched between the locking position and the unlocking position by deformation of the locking portion, thereby improving the utility and reliability of the locking portion.
The locking portion 20 includes a connecting plate 21 and a locking beam 22. A first end of the connecting plate 21 is connected to the hole wall of the through hole 11, and a second end of the connecting plate 21 extends toward a hole center of the through hole 11. The locking beam 22 is connected to the second end of the connecting plate 21, the locking beam 22 can be moved to the unlocking position along the first direction, or the locking beam 22 can be reset to the locking position along the second direction. In this way, the deformation amount of the locking portion can be increased, the flexibility of the locking portion can be effectively increased, and the service life of the locking portion can be extended. When the locking beam 22 is in the locking position, a lower surface of the locking beam 22 is snap-fitted with the mounting base. This arrangement can further improve the stability and reliability of the locking portion.
In order to further improve the stability and reliability of the locking portion, a longitudinal direction of the locking beam 22 can be extended along a width direction of the side plate body 10, wherein the width direction of the side plate body 10 coincides with the width direction of the base body 31.
